It was not made to be installed on rear racks that are more than 1/4 in thick. Mine is about 1/2 in thick, and I had to bend the attachments to them fit. Also, the clasps on the side are a bit tight, and sometimes get stuck when I try to open/close the basket. However, it definitely comes in handy when I go shopping, and generously holds one standard-sized grocery bag.

I like this item and it works as advertised but I wish it locked into shape better because it can rattle around quite a bit if not completely full, which can be annoying/distracting to people like me. Otherwise it does the job as well as any other similar basket.

These baskets are nice and strong. I have placed milk, two liters, pizza and other amounts of things in one basket and it held just fine. Though I suggest that you use extra zip ties to hold them in place so they don't bounce around alot. That's the key to getting good use out of these types of baskets.

Honest reviews on Avenir Folding Rear Wheel Basket

Easily assembled, can lift one end and roll with the other, bottom tray easy to clean. Honestly, needed a nice mat for the bottom for comfort for our pooch. Have had for over 6 months, very satisfied.

PROS: This price is the best I seen for this item. I really like the way the basket folds up and out of the way when you're not using it. Basket construction and paint finish (black) are better than most I've looked at. Using the included P-clips or the cable ties holds the basket on securely and makes the installation pretty simple. When expanded/folded out, I carried about 25lbs of groceries easily. I ended up purchasing a second basket to put on the other side a few weeks later.

CONS: Only a couple of minor things. I found it difficult to fasten the clip used to secure the basket in it's folded position. But to be fair to the product, this probably has more to do with the way I mounted the baskets to the bikes frame, than the baskets themselves. It's very possible the positions I used to attach them caused the basket's shape to warp a little. The second item is, getting the bottom flap's little tab down past all the horizontal ribs to lay flat, I found to be really difficult. However, it is easy to let it rest on the second to last rib. So that's what I'm doing and the basket is still very sturdy. And finally, more of a heads up than a con. I mounted these on the back of the bike and the first time I used them fully expanded, I didn't lift my leg up & out enough to clear the basket.....ouch!

A suggestion if you're looking to purchase this item .... get a 9"X13" flat piece of cardboard and position it where you plan to attach the basket. Check the bike's frame for at least two locations to attach the basket. Good news is...because of the baskets wire design, any part of the basket can be used as a mounting point.
