Can you use this basket along with a crossbar fairing (the ones that attach to the front crossbar)? Or will the fairing clamps get in the way.

With the spacing of the fairing clamps, the basket clamps should clear just fine.

it would definitely get in the way. The basket needs to clamp onto the crossbars so anything already on the crossbars would get in the way of the basket

2014 Ford Edge: The crossbar fairing was not a problem. The basket is well designed; however, the clamps and bolts come very close to the roof of the vehicle when attached to the factory crossbars.

I have never done that with the basket and it is not mentioned in the directions that it can be used that way. However, I suppose that it could be secured to a rear bike rack somehow. One would have to figure out a safe way to attach it since there are no tie downs specifically for that purpose.

The top hooks will be fine. The issue will be whether you can adjust the lower hook to a position where it will grab the rack bar, and where your heels won't hit it when you pedal. The top two hooks are stationary, the lower hook sleds front and back on a track, you can tighten it down in the door that works for you. Easiest is to try it out, and return them if it doesn't work.

We use this rack with an Electra "Townie" women's bike -- no crossbar adapter is needed! That was one of the reasons we bought this particular rack.

Yes it should work, the top attaches to the handle bars and the bottom supports bolt to the front wheel. Great basket ,holds up well!

I did not have any issues with lopsidedness and I feel the basket is very well made. You may need to move your bikes front reflector to avoid interference with the reflector and basket.

E bags have s hooks at e end of ea to hook onto e frame. So long as at e end of ur frame at the wheel hub there is an extra hole unused(some use it to secure their bike stand) it should be ok

Hello, you may clamp it anywhere it will hold. But mainly to the Bike Frame. Thank you

The top of the rack itself has a 15 1/2" platform. Mine sits a few inches back from seat post tube. The distance from post tube to the back of rack is 21". My seat however extends 1" over the front of the rack, leaving 14 1/2" of space for a very high basket or pack. All of this depends somewhat on your bike geometry since the rack is adjustable. You shouldn't have a problem with the basket extending over the back of the rack however (it's very sturdy) so it will probably work for you.

I have both a Thule bike and kayak rack mounted to my factory cross bars...the kayak rack is not an issue at all...there is a slight lean for the bike but if someone were not to be looking for the lean it wouldn't be noticeable. Also, having seen other crossbars with racks...I think the overall look is better with the factory bars (gear mounted) not to mention they are more aerodynamic...I am completely satisfied and I am an unapologetic perfectionist...hope this helps.

It doesn't look like your bike has the eyelets on top of the front forks to screw the legs to. I went to Home Depot to purchase some metal clamps with rubber on them (electrical department) to attach the legs to the front fork. It worked fine. I carry a 9 lb dog in the basket and the clamps didn't slip. You can go to www.waldsports.com and contact them.

Yes you could , and use two brackets on the top of the rear rack. You might lose some of the stability of the baskets by not using the lower bracket that connects to the frame. It was easy to connect to the rack though. But and a bolt tighten to a P shaped clamp. I use them every day. Open up easy and I added a shot if WD-40 to the little hinge that holds the basket closed when not in use and was a big help. Take care, John

Donald, It looks like the center locking clamp will attach with no issue, but the lower hook that is used to stablize the pannier may or may not stay put on the lower part of the rack. Based on the rack image, it looks like most hooks would have an issue so I am not 100% positive if this pannier would work with this rack. If you can get this to work, they have been great and I am going on 3 years without any issues. Tom

If you have standard factory cross bars you should not have ny problem. We love our racks and are currently using them to transport our kayaks all over Canada on our 4 Runner

I have clamped both mountain and road bikes to this stand with no problem. However, I have read that clamping should only be done on the seat post and in the future, that is what I probably do.

I would think so, the bottom part of this basket came with two long/flat attachments. But I already had something like this installed: Topeak Explorer Bike Rack

Chris,You can definitely use a fairing with the 594XT. You will just need to mount the bike tray according to where the mounting brackets are around the bars. The tray will stick out forward of the fairing about 16" as that is where the front wheel will sit.Thanks,Rack Attack
