It appears in some photos that the rack is taller in the front than in the back, is this true? Could one lay a 4x2 longways on top of the basket?

No, it is not higher in the front. Yes, you can lay 4x2s on top and lay them flat.

There is a small fairing on the front with a support beam that is a little higher than the rear of the rack. You could take the fairing and cross beam off the front to make the front and back the same height, but that would be a hassle.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

Possibly. I have this rack myself. The bike would be tilted extremely high on the rear tire side and the weight distribution might compromise how sturdy the bike would stay whole driving.

Yes, you could. It simply oes between the front and rear pieces. Adding another would only make it longer. I would caution too much length without a third support rod under the basket though.

im not sure if the seymour DLX panniers can be used on your front rack, i know that the seymour LX which isnt much smaller fits on the front really well. i think its mostly a matter of your rack size

I have an angled seat post and it sets level on my bike. If your post is vertical the rack would be at a slightly upwards angle.

The bottom basket is not longer than the top basket. Hope this response helps.

Let me just say that the basket is at my mother's house 500 miles away. I believe that there are stops that only let the basket go so far back and the the whole basket would have to be removed and reinstalled backwards to do what you asked. I would have to look at it to see if that was even possible. I don't have the basket here to measure its height. Sorry.

Hi Scribbler - yes you can. You might notice that the top frame is mesh that extends just past the four legs of the frame so the legs will very nicely fit within the lip of the top frame. Additionally, the back to legs have tabs with a pre-drilled hole. The two included self-tapping screws will allow you to fasten the bottom frame to your cabinet - and the top frame to the mesh of the basket frame it will sit on. You can continue to stack these 3 or four high. Do keep in mind that what you put in the basket cannot be too tall - otherwise it will hit the top frame. The roller glides are really nice. I'm very happy with our two-pair (large and small) we bought. Hope this helps. Hi Scribbler - yes you can.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

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.

I actually got the basket to fit on my knee-walker (looks like a scooter but is used for leg injuries), and the front brakes did get in the way. The brakes with my walker though were not as far a part verses a bike. Since the basket was such a good price I kept it. The basket sat on the bars where I could put lightweight things in there but wouldn't trust overloading it. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. The bike is secured via the rear axle being clamped between the two "adjusting bolts". You can see in the picture here that have the plastic handles on them. You can also purchase a "leveling block" to put under the front wheel to get the front of the bike a little higher. I just used a wooden block I had laying around...I hope this helps..

I have had this basket for several years and haven't found a rear rack (my own bike, borrows, or rentals) that it won't fit on. Also the handles are semi pliable, so I assume if you did find one that is oddly shaped, you could make the necessary adjustment.

The basket is seperate. And the main frame of the rack does not come with cross rails. So the question really depends on your intended use.

the 4-place bike unit requires a 2" receiver. as long as you have, you should be ok. Great bike Rack for the price.

Hi Carissa, The rails can be adjusted to different heights, they do not have to be the same height. We've been very happy with the rack, it gets constant heavy use and has held up very nicely!
