 Excellent Baskets...... October 24, 2008
These work great; they do not rattle, they fold out of the way, carry a lot of stuff and are unobtrusive. I did use some zip ties (in addition to the regular mounting hardware) to secure them to the bike frame, which probably helped with any noise problem. They perfectly hold a paper grocery bag and I have brought home some pretty heavy loads.
So, why not 5 stars? I got the "silver" baskets because my bike is silver. Well, they are really "galvinized" which is not quite what I was expecting. I didn't dislike this enough to send them back for the black ones and I've gotten used to it, but be aware of that.
I highly recommend these.
 Excellent craftsmanship--Very Sturdy! October 10, 2008
It seems all Wald products are made with a quality, both materials and design, that's rare to find now-a-days. These heavy, rear grocery-bag style baskets will last forever, very well constructed, great coating. My only qualm in recommending these would be the same for all Wald products; they don't seem to be engineered or designed for ease of installation. You really do need to be comfortable with tools and adapting the fittings to your own bicycle design; for example, I had to use a vice and small sledge to re-mold the contour of the bracket affixing the rear platform to the frame portion (where the seat post is inserted). And I needed extra-long, heavy-duty needle-nose pliers, both straight and curved, to hold the brackets which secure the grocery baskets to the rear platform's support rods. If these precautions don't intimidate you, you'll be able to do the installation; if you feel uneasy, allow your bicycle shop or handyman friend help you; the product itself is excellent.
Fantastic! October 10, 2008
I use this product almost every day and I still am impressed by its functionality as well as its durability. The only drawback was the position on the cover sheet. "Do not" position the baskets as in the drawing unless you want to shave the skin off of the back of your legs and heels. Make sure you check your "foot travel" before riding after installation. Hence, once that crucial adjustment is made, you're set for life. I'm absolutely sold on this wonderful product.
Great October 9, 2008
They work great and were easy to install, a great size and fold away when not needed. It was only difficult to tighten the screws once they were in place.
Best thing for my bike yet. October 9, 2008
I installed these yesterday on my bike and used them today and love them. They are perfect for carrying just about anything when commuting and were really easy to install. The advice to set them back a little ways on your carrier is good, otherwise you hit your legs on them. Also the tip to install them loose and then see how they feel when you ride before tightening them is good as well. Overall I think they are perfect for transporting items and are very sturdy.
