Kettler Rear Bicycle Basket Review

Kettler Rear Bicycle Basket

The Kettler Rear Bicycle Basket has some problems. Primarily, the spot welds wear out over time. After 3 months of daily use (mostly groceries, about 5-10 Lbs), the welds which connect the bottom brackets to the basket itself simply wore out--the brackets are the lower handles shown in the picture provided by Amazon. Now, there is no way to attach the basket to my bicycle rack. I believe the bumps and vibrations of my daily ride slowly weakened these welds to the point that they detached. The basket had other problems as well (over uneven pavement, it would occasionally fly off and tumble into the street), but the poor welding is what ultimately rendered the basket totally unworkable.
I would not recommend this basket.

I bought this basket about six months ago to use on the bike I ride into campus. I usually put about 10 pounds of stuff into it (a 5 lb computer, bag, and maybe a book or two). I am now looking to replace the basket. The problem is that there is only one real area of attachment/connection with the bicycle -- at the top where there is a bracket connecting the basket to the bike. So if you put something weighing more than a couple of pounds in the basket, all of the weight is on that top bracket, causing the basket to tip forward (it's tipped so far forward a couple of times that it's actually *dropped* my bag with my computer in it!). If you'll notice with other baskets there is usually a point of contact with the bike not only at the top but also at the bottom of the basket...this ensures that the basket doesn't tip and can actually support the weight of the contents of the basket. That this basket lacks that second point of contact is, in my experience, a serious drawback.
I'd say that if you need a basket to carry very light things - perhaps a towel and a gym bottle, or some light produce or something, then this is a perfectly fine basket. But if you need it to carry anything at all substantial (more than about 5-7 pounds) then look elsewhere.
