existing rack--mounting problems? Has anyone attached theirs to an existing rack, instead of purchasing the rack that's suggested for the Wald baskets?

It should be no problem, these baskets are designed to work with a wide variety of racks. The brackets that hold the baskets on are pretty versitile, and you could also get pipe clamps or some other type or bracket if your rack is an odd size. Should work just fine.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

I have the smaller Wald basket, and sometimes it is heavy on the steering so parking the bike needs extra care in balancing when using the kickstand; an empty rack is best while parked.

The rear rack of my folding bike was too thick to accommodate the OEM brackets, so I zip-tied these baskets to my rear rack. I have 2 baskets affixed to my bike; one on each side. In the collapsed position, they only add ~1.5-2" on either side. Collapsed, there is a clamp welded to the bracing side of the basket that sturdily holds the collapsed basket closed during my rides. Even if I had been able to use the OEM bracket, I do not believe these baskets are intended to be "slipped"/"clipped" on/off once installed

The unit is designed to replace the existing shelves, so not sure why you would want to mount this on the existing shelf and lose the space/clearance. If I remember right, the unit installs as 1large frame piece but with the 2 pullout shelves that then mount to the frame. We installed this in the kitchen of the house we just sold over 4 months ago so I don't have the chance to look at it again.

I don't know if you received a response or if you still need one but the "pegs", themselves, are 2&#8541;" long; i.e., they stick out that far from the rack "frame". The pegs stick out 3&#8539;" from the mounting surface; i.e., wall, cabinet, door, etc. (whatever you mount the rack to). Hope this helps.

Bonnie, I got the stainless steel rack offered on Amazon actually. My brother-in-law builds bikes and he is going to put both the rack and the basket on for my sister this weekend. I'll be glad to ask him and email you back Monday or Tuesday. Dino not sure you can see all the answers since you tried to help Bonnie, thanks for the tip below. Since I don't know if the rack I purchased is singular or double tubing... I guess I'll find out this weekend if it works well. Denise in Land O Lakes, FL (I can be reached at czgringo@aol.com)

Hello,I think mounting the support arms opposite of the picture would work. You may also have to flip the grid over.The rack is finished on all sides so you wouldn't have to worry about the look either.

Hi....and I have no clue as I have never done that. This rack is very well made and I have had no problems with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes I have one and I got the rack from amazon. It really does not show well unless its hung up.

No but mine came with 2 hole choices & it is now on a vintage 1969 Schwinn, but i could send you pictures of it close up so you could work out if this could work with your bike with any dimensions you need. Owner of wald basket and rear wood rack. Zoe

I have had the same problem. I haven't been able to find this particular company/brand.. But a trip to my local hardware store WITH the remaining shelves were able to find some extra brackets. Closet maid had a bracket that worked with a little help. ( bending to fit). Hope this helps. I had several baskets left and had to come up with something.

It should work fine. I don't have baskets but my bike is a big commuter bike with large bars & built in rear book rack. There is plenty of room.

No, doesn't work with other racks ... and unfortunate ... because it is a great product!

Hey Jim, My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

Ours fits, but it is tight. Did you lubricate it? Hitches often get a little corrosion (rust) on the inside, so you might need a combination of oil and a little persuasion (I used some gentle taps from a dead blow mallet). Also, the weight of the basket makes it hard to get it to go straight in.

We too, wish it came with a mount for a rack. It doesn't snap into the other rack mount adapters like the Planet Bike or Portland Design Works. Looks like it's zipties for now.
