5.0 out of 5 stars Works well for me., March 10, 2007

I use the baskets for my grocery shopping, and they have been working very well for me. They were easy to assemble, and feel sturdy--even with bags of flour and canned goods I have not felt like I was overloading them on weight. I love that the baskets fold up, it makes it so much more convenient for storage.

I am outfitting a bicycle to become my basic errand vehicle for my return to city living, and chose these as my carriers for a few reasons:

*They fold! When shut down, they collapse to about an inch thickness-- very convenient!
*Unglamorous metal framing lacks the sexy steal-appeal of voluptuous panniers
*They fit a purse, grocery bag, or school bag-- all things I'll be carrying.
*They come in a set of two, and are reasonably priced!

Once I had my rear rack on, these attached very easily with basic household tools. I had no problem installing them, but someone with very large hands may have problems. I have had no problem with rattling, and have not used any additional hardware to secure them. A tip-- I found it useful to pinch down the U-clips before screwing them on, to get rid of the gap.

They do add a bit of weight to the bike...around five pounds. My bike is no aluminum frame wondermachine, so it's not a huge difference to me, but it could be an issue for someone who wants something very easy to lift and carry.

Love these baskets. They turn a bike into a very practical vehicle. Used them for years and have given them as gifts. Great for college students. Really sturdy!
