Is the basket oriented like bike rack (i.e short side of basket sits left to right/ long side sits front to back)? Or does it mount ACROSS the rack?

The basket sits across the rack but doesn't stick out so far as to get in the way on either side. Spring-loaded grips hold it firmly in place. I've had mine for quite a number of months and have had no issues with it at all. I think the response from Philip describes a different rack.

across the bike rack . There are two handles underneath the basket which are pulled and then the basket is placed on the rack. The clamps underneath the basket ( u shaped ) fasten onto the sides of the bike rack.. It takes abouts 3 minutes. Check to see if the two clamps are secure on the rack. Although placed sideways on the rack, it is not in the way.

It mounts on the bike rack with the long side front to back. It has 2 screws with a groove on the end that fit on the rack and are secured with a tension device and then you adjust the screws to make secure.

They don't go one on each side like you're thinking. They both go on either the right side or the left side. You can have them facing inside the rack or facing outside the rack. The width is perfect for me.

It works great for our two bikes. Just make sure when you strap them down, keep the handlebar from the closest one from touching the back of the trailer. Obviously the bikes must be facing opposite directions. We've been very happy with this bike rack. It's also a snap to install.

There is one vertical support post, it's just hard to see in the picture. I bungy to the support and to my RVs ladder. Bike rack works great. The bikes don't move at all while traveling.

You do have to have the rack over the back wheel to attach it. The mechanism to attach it to the rack is spring loaded. On my bike the basket had to sit horizontal behind the seat. Hope this helps.

It can be mounted in either direction. The smaller sink isn't significantly shallower though.

This rack has equal length legs, it remains angled like the trunk but has a very prominent "lip" on the bottom to hold on the luggage. If you look at the picture on BigBikeParts.com, it shows it installed and will give you a better idea.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.

Yes it does. It seems like it would work pretty well as a basket. It quickly comes off the bike and there are two bars that lay along the basket top edge. These two bars raise up and will work nice as a handle for a basket.

No racks that are mounted to the side. Only two removable round racks of different heights. Size seems to be about the same.

The mounting is plastic. The bike is in another city, but i'd guess the basket is about 13x13.

I bought a rack at the same time and it went right on no problems. I did have a bike with separate bolt holes on the frame for finders and a rack. Clearance was not a problem. You might have to get longer bolts if you only have one hole set for both fenders and rack. With 1/2" elevation difference in the bike mounting holes, I still have 1" between the fender and the bottom of the rack. I cannot answer about the baskets.

Yes it does. It's not a universal attachment so if your going yo use it you will want to wait and see what will fit. The rack also he's a place to attach a light which I felt was a better option since the rack is designed to remove and switch the baskets but the rack will stay on the bike.

Ours is mounted on right side, but I did not put it together- one of our workman did that. I am assuming it could be mounted either side.It does need to be assembled.

Does not need to be mounted. My kids and I ride a lot andmy husbands bike stays on the far right rack without a problem. Can easily fit 4 adult bikes... Have it get creative with a 5 th... ( I am 5' 2" though so my adult bike is not huge!)

Hi, There are two "pulls" from each side of the basket (underneath) that spring out and back in (little springs...pretty strong actually). It attaches to a bike rack. The attachments are curved to fit perfectly to the tubular shape of the bike rack rails. This is the best I can do to describe it. I've had this basket for years and I have never seen a better one out there. It is made of quality materials and is pretty sturdy. When I have it full of big textbooks, I use a couple of little bungy rope to add even more security. It's great to carry books, groceries, whatever. Hope this helps. I hightly recommend it.
