But what happens when you want to haul something that isn't overly large, but can really weigh you down? We thought you'd probably bust out a welding torch and tack a couple of legs on the 133 basket. So that's exactly what we did. The 135 is the exact same size as our popular 133 and 3133 baskets with shorter handlebar mounts and legs bolted to the bottom of the basket. Perfect for a couple of two liters, or a six-pack with some chips and salsa to go. Give us some Fat Tire Ale, Mission Restaurant Style Tortilla Triangles and Frog Ranch salsa any day! Available in plated (135), black (135BL), and white (135WH) finish. Legs match the finish of the basket. Dimensions: 14.5 x 9.5 x 9 inches. | | | Features: | |
• Hardware included

 Bicycle basketJul 16, 2007
By Kathleen Weidner
The basket is good quality, strong and durable. It is smaller than we thought, therefore it does not hold as much. Also, the brackets to connect it to the wheels for more stability were not long enough to attach to the wheels of the beach cruiser we bought it for.

TOO SHORTNov 10, 2006
By Morris D. Corson
The basket is good and sturdy but the support struts were too shor for 2 bikes and I had to "jurry rig" extentions.

 Don't buy from Niagara CycleMay 09, 2008
By Fred Wilson
"fredwilson"
The product is fine. It did not fit my bicycle. After two emails, two phone calls and emails to Amazon, I have yet to get a return authorization that you must send with the returned item ( or they send it back ). This is not the customer service I would expect from companies that partner with Amazon. Do not buy from this company if you are not quite sure it is exactly what you want.

 Great affordable and useful rackMar 08, 2011
By Scott DeJong
I purchased this rack to add some utility to my English cruiser and was able to get it installed quickly and easily. However, once I started riding with it, I found that the strut length and basket height did not agree with my particular bike setup. Because of the length of the struts, I had to angle the handlebar clamps up (rather than down, as they are designed to work)to level the basket.
Because of this, I found initially that the basket would fall down in the back as I rode, so that the rear of the basket was lower than the front, no matter how hard I tightened the clamps.
The solution was simple - I put it in the level position and used zip ties to hold it in the upright position.
Once that little fit issue was solved, the basket worked great for all around utility and grocery runs. It was a little disconcerting the first time with a heavy load in it, but after a few minutes, found that I was used to the change in feel.
The basket is very well made and rattle free, and the silver color looked great with my old bike. For the money, there's nothing that even comes close. I've used quick release shopping baskets before, on different bikes, and found that this design rattles far less and hold more, all while looking far better.
After a while, though, I discovered one other unforeseen fit issue, which I can't resolve: because of the height of the basket and the set up of my bike, I can't mount a light. There's no room below for a brake bolt mount, and the top of the basket is taller than my bars, so I can't mount it on the handlebar. As a result, I'll be getting a shallower version of this same basket, so I can keep on trucking, but with a light so I don't get run over.

good, but...Mar 30, 2010
By E. Steele
"reader123"
I bought this basket for my mountain bike, wanting something less bulky than the "quick release" baskets. It's less bulky, and still holds quite a bit (of course not as much as a basket for the back!), but the legs that came with it can't be used with quick release front tires, which wasn't mentioned in the product description, and if it was, it's pretty hidden! you can buy special attachments at "your local bike shop" - so say the instructions, but i haven't bothered - part of the reason I bought it was because it was inexpensive. But even without the legs, it functions just fine, probably a little rattlier than it would have been with them, but it doesn't fall on the tire or anything.
Overall, I'm a little disappointed, but with the selection I've seen, I'd honestly still buy this one again.
