Eleven81 Folding Wire Rear Mounted Bike Basket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought my second after a trial run with the first. So I guess I'm convinced they are worth the money.
Since these baskets are sold as singles as opposed to some that are only available in sets of two - I bought just one in case I had problems.
What I liked:
The size is convenient for a grocery bag. It's a little bigger than it needs to be, which makes things a little easier.
The wire mesh doesn't let small things drop through, but still drains water.
It's pretty strong. I packed it full of liquid filled containers (water, tea, soda, etc... maybe 25 pounds... enough to tip the bike) then road about a mile. I hit normal bumps (nothing huge mind you) and the basket held up without any problem at all.
When folded-up flat, there is just enough room left to store my "U" lock, which I have found quite delightful.

What could be improved:
The mounting hardware was designed for a bike rack with smaller diameter framing than I have (mine frame is 3/8" diameter). It looks like it is designed for 1/8" diameter frames, but might work on 1/4" (just guessing here.)
I had to mount the rack a little further back (about 2") to clear my heel when peddling. Not a huge problem but this puts the rack behind my rear light and so obstructs it slightly. It also puts the load on the rack off center where it is designed to support a load.Lastly, it detracts from the aesthetics of the bike more than it must.
The instructions for mounting the rack should be ignored.They will waste time, and provide no real help.

Lund 601008 Cargo Carrier Side Bar Attachment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We recently purchased the Lund Cargo carrier and carrier side bar attachment. They were a great combination. Smaller than a trailer but big enough to carry all our camping stuff that would not fit in the car. To complement the two items a cargo net really helps.

Ghost-Ring: Ghost Ring (Bottle Holster) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this thing all the time. It works perfectly. I have it clipped to my camera bag because I need water and have my hands free while out shooting.
This thing is rugged and strong. It is very well made and will last a long time. And it works with every bottle that I have used with it. I am very happy with it.

Product Description:
Snap Ghost Ring's metal clip onto the neck of a common plastic drink bottle, clip it to a belt loop, or bag strap, and you've got an instant canteen. Unclip the sidepush buckle - The clip side stays on the bottle while you drink (swivel-hook side stays hooked on you.) Perfect to clip on a climbing harness or a day pack, it is superior to similar products using a rubber ring to hold the bottle as this ring typically breaks within a few days, becoming useless. Our steel snap is indestructible.

Grip Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier (2 bikes) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With shipping included this carrier cost less than a third of the only one available locally. There were no directions with it but then, I didn't get any instructions with the last pair of pants I bought either and I figured those out too. (The zipper goes in the back, right?)

Instead of whining about it it being wobbly I, guess what? TIGHTENED THE BOLTS! It's as solid as a single piece. NOTE:use a wrench, actually best to use two,for this procedure. (They're not included. You must provide your own.)

CAUTION:If you drive with the bikes unsecured they 'flop around'! It's a good idea to spend a few of the hundred or more dollars you saved buying this carrier for some bungee cords. (They're elastic 'ropes' with plastic hooks on each end.) Experiment a little, you'll figure out how to make the bikes nice and secure. A little styrofoam will protect them at points of contact.

With a little common sense, time and muscle you'll be happily hauling your bikes to your favorite riding trail. But then, as Ambrose Bierce defined it: common sense - The the most uncommon thing in the world.
