R Everage: Easy clip on, lots of room and so portable.
It does bump up to my backside while riding but no a problem...( if I ride more maybe I can eliminate part of " my problem")

Perth, Western Australia: This was a good basket to use instead of my panniers. I got it as the right one to connect to my rack. (A cheaper rack and generic basket that completely locked together without any rattling would be better but because I already had the rack the correct basket is better.) Its a few minutes faster per hour on the commute with a basket and dry bag than with panniers. Personally, I find it more enjoyable.

Andreas: Ich benutze das praktische Slide-In System jeden Tag.
ALLERDINGS: Der dünne Tragebügel ist mir von Anfang an negativ aufgefallen.
Zu zu dünn ohne Griff und daher unbequem beim Tragen. Vor allem: Die Befestigung am Korb ist mangelhaft.
Wiederholt musste ich den Tragegriff im täglichen Gebrauch wieder einhängen. Heute kam es allerdings zum GAU:
Von mir unbemerkt löste sich der Tragegriff während der Fahrt und hat sich in den hinteren
Speichen verfangen. Wie durch ein Wunder konnte ich einen schweren Sturz abwenden (ein Auto war 2m hinter mir).
Der Tragebügel hatte sich 1.5x um die Achse gewickelt, eine Weiterfahrt war nicht mehr möglich, ich musste ein
XL-Taxi kommen lassen um nach Hause zu kommen und dort den Bügel aus der Nabe und Schaltung zu sägen.
Sehr, sehr ärgerlich! KEINE Kaufempfehlung, vor allem weil ich außer Beileidsbekundungen keinerlei Ersatz vom
Händler oder Distributor RTI bekommen habe.

A. Ihnatko: I've had this basket for about a month and it works great as a place to toss stuff I don't want to (or can't) carry on my body. Rather than fuss with bags and straps, I can just drop my laptop bag and my bike lock in there and leave the house. I was hoping it'd be as handy as the backseat of my car and I wasn't disappointed.

I was concerned about the size and how it would look, proportionally, on my Trek 7.2. But it looks great. The size is large enough to be practical for a little grocery shopping.

Topeak's system for sliding the basket on and off was one of the reasons I chose this basket and rack. It's quite handy to be able to carry things to or from the bike. Sliding it into its track is only easy when the bike is fixed to something, though.

Some complaints:

I didn't appreciate from the photos that the height of the basket would make it impossible for me to get on and off the bike by just swinging my leg over the rear wheel, as usual. So I had to learn a new technique (move my knee over the crossbar near the stem, then move my foot over near the seat). A possible problem for people with certain kinds of joint trouble, I...

Noah: I purchased this basket a year ago, with my Topeak MTX Explorer Rack. I do a lot of off road biking on the weekends and it has been very handy. Every time I go out, I have a Igloo Maxcold EVA Hard Top Gripper Cooler that I fill up with bottles of water and ice (weighs around 12lbs) that I put in this basket and use one of those bunjee nets. The basket has taken a lot of bumping and rattling but and has held up very well. I've accidentally bent it several times and have always been able to pull it back into shape without any issues. I am really impressed with the durability of it. The quick track mount is still strong and working well.. no parts seem weathered or fatigued.

I agree that the handle is useless.. I threw it away a long time ago. I don't take a star off for that because I personally don't have much use for the handle.

My only minor complaint is that it is too close to the seat. I ride a 29er and I had to raise the seat to accomodate the basket. In the cases whever I've bent the basket, it's usually been from accidentally sitting too far back and hitting it.

There's a good amount of left over space on the rack when this is on.. I...

Pcprntr: Bought this basket for my Topeak rear rack which I already have and I also have their medium size bag that 'slides on' their nice locking system rack. It is a great system that they have and it looks good and works great.
There aren't many metal baskets that are available out there for purchase that really do a nice job. The Topeak basket is really well made, looks nice and is the right size. Only three things are not right with the engineering of this basket. 1. There is no support at the back of the basket so I had to modify that with a 3/8" piece of wood and that worked fine. 2. The next thing was to support that rather flimsy wire handle and I did that by zip tying a 3/8" dowel to it and that solved that problem. 3. Then I noticed that the basket is too far forward on the rack, too close to seat would be better if it was positioned to the rear of the rack so I had to make an extension of the clip to move it back about 3" and that worked fine. These three things are what I found wrong with the engineering on this basket. If you can fix these things as I did, than you found the basket for you and for your Topeak rack. Like I said, there isn't too much to...
