TopeakTrolleyTote MTX-Compatible Collapsible Basket

To start off with, you need to know that this basket is designed to work with TOPEAKs' brand of bike racks. Like anything else for bikes it's pretty much universal, so you could use it on another bike rack, but it's made for their own specially designed version to work best. If you don't have a rack yet, the TOPEAK Explorer MTX Rack is a good choice to go along with this basket.The folding basket has a ramp that slides into a channel on the bike rack and locks into place with a quick locking system. It's a pretty slick system, and makes for an exact fit, placement, and it's super fast to attach/detach. There are NO worries about the basket or other accessories sliding around with this system.Overall the basket seems to be pretty durable for a lightweight basket, and the fact that it conveniently folds down for travel and storage when not in use is an extremely nice feature not found in other baskets. You need to know that this basket is designed to carry items up to 19.8 pounds, I suspect if you overload it like you would a milk crate that it would not hold up very long.The handle/rolling feature is also very nice, and not found in other baskets.I'll just do a brief overview of PROs and CONs for review:PROsAttaching system/Locking systemFolds for travel/storageLightweightDurableRolling systemCONsMay not hold up to heavy usage over a long period of timeRattles during travel (not a big issue for me)Only comes in the grey colorOverall - This is an awesome product, the only real complaint for me (and minor at that) is that it doesn't come in Black, which I think would look a lot better on my bike. But it does look good on my bike since it is grey anyway, so I'm probably just nit-picking here. This is a great basket for light shopping or carrying any items around 20 pounds.

I am completely satisfied! I needed a bike rack, so I searched around and found this company. I applied for overseas shipping, and I am completely satisfied. It is so easy to attach and detach. Surprisingly, the durability of the product did not seem weak as people said. Overall, it is easy and quick to work with.The feeling of operating it is so fun, and the sound and feeling of it fitting together with a 'clack~' is so good that I feel like I've become Iron Man. I was using a product called RIXEN KAUL and was looking for a better product, and I found it and I'm really satisfied. Also, I was really surprised that there was a Korean description even though it was an overseas delivery product. Usually, Asia only has Chinese descriptions... Anyway, I'm very satisfied and thank you.저는 완벽히 만족합니다!자전거 랙이 필요해서 검색을 하다가 이 회사를 발견했습니다.해외 배송을 신청했고, 완벽히 만족합니다.부착과 분리가 너무 쉽습니다.놀랍게도, 사람들이 말했던 것처럼 제품의 내구성이 약해 보이지 않았습니다.전반적으로, 작업이 쉽고 빠릅니다.조작하는 느낌이 너무 재밌고'철컥~'하며 맞춰지는 사운드와 느낌이 너무 좋아서 아이언맨이 된 기분입니다.락센카울이라는 제품을 사용하다가 더 좋은 제품이 없을까하며 찾다가 알게됐는데정말 만족합니다.그리고, 해외배송상품인데도 한국어 설명까지 있다는 게 너무 놀랐습니다.보통 아시아는 중국어 설명까지만 있던데... 어쨌든 너무 만족했고, 감사합니다.

I thought I had written a review that included many pictures when I first got this, but no review exists. It's been over 2 yrs and am still using it! In non-winter months (due to snow/ice) it stays in the house but in all other months it stays in the car so that it can be used. Just used it again while buying five huge bottles of beans (see pixs), each bottle weighing almost a pound and a half. NO problem with five of these heavy bottles plus other grocery items later on top of the bottles! The very first time we had used it years ago, we filled it up completely with over 30lbs of groceries and it handled it well! We have steps at our front porch that we either have to carry this basket up, OR wheel it up. Either way, it's easy to get it up those steps, no matter what's in it. Not highly recommended, but we have had our very heavy tripods and portable seats that fold up to be a walking stick also, and with bungee cords, got the tripods and seat sticks tied to the extending pull handle, and on grass sand and gravel, and as I said before, it's not recommended BUT it did work! The wheels are quite small and good for slick flat surfaces, but it has handled other rougher surfaces also: sand, gravel, slippery wet smooth surfaces, and to very limited use in the icy winter months. We picked it up to use with the rack system on our bicycle racks, and though I've ridden the bike with this basket on the rack, it's not too bad while pedaling, tho sometimes your heel can hit the corner of the basket, so I quit doing that. It's been useful for other situations when we wished we had a basket cart, and fulfilled that need too. Easy to set up and and fold away! When not in use, just store it away someplace. In the trunk of my car, I have a bungee cord on the back of my back seats, and with that cord it holds the folded basket upright flat against the back of the seats. That way we see it and don't forget we have it there and can grab it to use. Very util in all types of situations! Really! Highly recommended!

This basket is just as advertised. It folds up so that it can be stored easily in a compact place like the trunk of your car. The wheels are very smooth to pull the basket on. It makes a little bit of noise, as to be expected, when pulling across asphalt. The basket is very secure once attached to the rear back rack. **must also purchase a Topeak bike rack** I purchased the Topeak explorer bike rack which was very easy to install. I love the telescoping handle on this basket. This product is very versatile and I use it to ride my bike to the farmers market. If you have a market bag with you, it is very easy to just lock the basket up when you lock up your bicycle and then just put your full market bag inside the basket when you return (very convenient). This basket is very durable, I even was able to ride around the block with my 15 lb. Yorkie Bichon in it. (he didn't like it, not for him). Never the less, this product is exactly what is advertised and I would purchase again.
