Eleven81 Rattan Style Quick Release Rear Mounted Bike Basket - BASK3064 Review

Eleven81 Rattan Style Quick Release Rear Mounted Bike Basket - BASK3064
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This basket does exactly what it says, quick release, and rediculously easy to attach to my rack. The smaller weave than its axiom counterpart is what made me decide to try this one, and its great. I love the look, ease, and sturdiness of this basket.
Highly Reccommend.
I only wish that eleven81 made a front quick release rattan-look counterpart to match.
A quick amendment: I ordered the axiom rattan look QR front basket, and it matches PERFECTLY!

This is exactly what I was looking for, an extra set of reflectors on my bike wheels so that I'd that much more visible to others, especially at night.

We were setting up my daughters new bike for Christmas and these things kept falling off and one just plain broke before we got the bike under the tree. Thank goodness we threw them away before my 5 year old saw. Not worth the frustration at any price.

Disney Princess Horn Review

Disney Princess Horn

There was another review in here about this problem. I took the horn out and squeezed it twice to the irritation of everyone and then the reed came out. It is loud and will make people get out of the way for sure. You can fix the loudness with a bit of tape across the holes - adjust / cut to your liking - but then, why have a horn? I took the horn apart and had to shake the horn to get the clear plastic reed and reed holder thing out. Make sure you do this over a well lit surface and not too far from the ground otherwise you might lose the reed. I replaced the reed and reed holder using some needle-nose pliers (be GENTLE!!!! Best to put the reed on top of the reed holder and push it in a bit with your hand then use the pliers). I used some paperboard (a small piece that won't interfere with the reed - maybe from the packaging) and put it under the reed holder to push it up and keep it from flying out again.
The "charms" are held onto the ribbon with "Post-It Note" glue almost, so there was another thing to fix before the kid could use it (wrapped tape around the ribbon). Also, the mount will take the paint off the bike but hold very well.
I do not have another horn to compare this to, and my kid loves this horn as cheaply made as it is so I am giving it 3 stars - it does work. If she did not like it, or was not repairable it would get 1. I mean all in all, I pretty much rebuilt the horn from parts, so unless you are into that I probably would buy it from a department store in case you have to return it.

Disney Princess Basket Review

. . . bumper.
This is a cute plastic woven basket that appears to be quite durable. Attaching the basket was a little difficult simply because I wanted to leave the foam bumper thing on the handlebar (the soft thing wrapped around the top middle portion of the handlebars with characters on it -- don't know the actual name of that thing). That meant I needed to wrap the ties farther out or around the bumper; and either way, it was a stretch. If I had removed the bumper, there wouldn't have been any problem.
My daughter likes it all for looks. She doesn't put anything in it; but the bike doesn't have a kickstand, so it gets thrown on the ground a lot. Still, the basket has remained intact and it looks great.

Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror Review

Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror

This mirror is fantastic. I bought it to replace a helmet mounted mirror when the stem broke on the helmet mount. I can't tell you how much better I like this bar-end mirror. It's much easier to find this mirror out of the corner of my eye, and it provides a very good view of what's behind me, both in the traffic lanes and directly behind me in the bike lane.
I did have to mutilate the grip on my handlebar to remove the plug and cut out and opening for the mirror, so just trying it out requires some commitment, but once it is mounted the installation looks clean.
I didn't have any significant trouble with the installation. The directions are a little bit unclear about what to do with piece that goes inside the bar (the directions say to "secure" it, but you need to leave it loose, securing only the nut, until it is inside the bar). If you look at the piece and think about how it's going to hold the mirror in place, it's pretty obvious what to do with it.
The mirror itself stays put very well on rides. It shakes a very little bit, but really only little. The stability is surprisingly good for a piece for which it is so easy to adjust the angles.
All the parts can be replaced individually if broken for about $4 each plus shipping.
