Comments about Wald 3133 Q-R Bike Basket:

After getting a new “comfort” bike (the type you sit upright on, Novara Mia) for my wife we wanted to outfit it with a basket. We got the Topeak and while it was a great basket it had a lousy plastic mount that made it almost worthless. So I started shopping around for something with an all metal mount. Since the bike has front shocks attaching anything to the fork was not an option.

We tried the Wald 3133 for several reasons.
First it is an all metal assembly. You can torque it down without fear of breaking anything.
Second it has a quick release mount. That was important.
Third it had a bracing component and that component indexed off the upper handle bars vs the center tube. When you turned there was no rubbing on the frame.

I was a little unclear how it mounted to the bike and even more unclear about how the basket attached to the mount. Here is how it works.

The mount attaches to the bike at three points. Two points on the handle bars. You get metal clips and rubber pads that fasten around the tube of your handlebar. There is a slot/tab on the back that holds one side and a screw on the other. Getting it evenly spaced is the hardest part of assembly.

The mount has two wire tubes that make up the bulk of it. There is a metal wire strut that attaches to those two tubes that forms the support piece. This strut can slide up or down on the mount to account for different sizes of bikes and positions. However one way or another your probably going to end up with a slight tilt to your bracket. Under load the force is transferred through the strut to the handlebar.

So now that you’ve got it mounted my next question was how does the basket attach to the mount? It turned out to be very easy and simple. At the bottom of the mount are two hooks that clearly attach to the wire of the basket. At the top there is a metal loop (kind of like a compressed screw eye). If you look carefully at the handle on the bracket there is an extension on one side of the handle. To attach the basket to the mount you hook it up on the bottom and then with the handle upright you slide the extension into the loop and then turn the handle down. This rotates the extension down locking the basket to the loop and on the frame. Simple, efficient and all metal.

Comments about Wald 3133 Q-R Bike Basket:

This mount will not work with multi-speed flat handle bars--like on my Novara Big Buzz.
The basket itself is fine, I'll tie-wrap it to the top of my rear rack.
For grocery-getters, check out the Wald insulated bag that fits this basket.

Comments about Wald 3133 Q-R Bike Basket:

The basket is great, and the locking mechanism to the mount is pretty cool. However, I do not know if it is the product I personally received had defective pieces or if all of them are generally like this but, the the bolts are to long, so there is extra give to allow pieces to fall off (which mine did). Also the nuts do not screw on far enough to counter that and I had an issue with the 2 pieces of the mount that go together not fitting. And again I could just have a defective one, but I just wanted to give a heads up to people.

Comments about Wald 3133 Q-R Bike Basket:

This basket is awesome! The best feature is it's removable with a handle... perfect for farmer's markets or a quick trip to the grocery store. The basket is easy to remove just by lifting the handle. The arm attaching the basket to the bike is very durable. The only con is the WALD brand name on the front of the basket (not pictured online). Regardless of the brand name stamp on the front, the price is very reasonable! I'd definitely recommend this to a friend.
