Today we will talk about how to independently install a bicycle basket in the front on the handlebars and a mountain bike fork in the front if there are front shock absorbers. We will also consider mounting the basket in front of the bike with visual diagrams, photos and videos.
A bicycle basket is already an integral part of a tourist's bicycle. Gathered on a hike, a picnic or a store, the basket in front of the bike will become an assistant in the delivery of the necessary goods. Bicycle baskets come in different types. It is necessary to understand the structural structure, the material of manufacture in order to make the right choice of a bicycle basket when buying.
Types of bike basket designs
A bike ride can be extreme, a bike ride through historical places or a city trip. The basket in front of the mountain bike, as an accessory, will be indispensable on any trip. This design has two mounts: cantilever or rigid.
When choosing a basket, it is worth considering a few points:
Varieties of front baskets on a bicycle. Classic - a common type. Fits many bike models. Permissible maximum loads. Fastening at two points: on the steering wheel (in this case loosening is reduced) and on the frame itself. In appearance, it is a welded structure with side racks. Front rack (basket) - more often used on touring bikes, rather than long trips.
Suitable for transporting small items. Console version of the basket (quick-release) - not suitable for transporting heavy loads (breakage is possible). This is due to not solid fastening in one place (frame). The advantage of such a trunk-basket is easy installation.
Tranz-X Disk is a bicycle basket with disc brakes. The left post is made in the form of an arc. Tranz—X Tour is the perfect option for those who like to travel. Lightweight, durable, reliable accessory. Side arches. Adjustable stands allow installation on virtually any model (24**-28**). Tranz-X Lite - lightweight aluminum (up to 500 g).
Suitable for city trips, bike trips with lightweight backpacks. The Tranz-X cantilever basket is convenient to fit in full-weight bikes, if the installation of a classic basket basket is excluded. V-shaped bike rack-basket - complex in design. Reliable welded construction, attached to the frame. Strength is provided by one rack installed vertically and two diagonally (resembles a V on the side).
What should be the front trunk-basket
When choosing a basket in front of a mountain bike, you need to focus on personal preferences. Going on a trip, you should make sure that the structure is securely fastened. Such systems are fastened with bolts. It is important to choose the right luggage system for the basket itself, capable of withstanding a load that will not harm the bike. For those who are financially independent, you can experiment and achieve goals based on your own mistakes, comparing options. There is an option to get advice from experienced cyclists or qualified professionals.
Possibility to install the basket on different types of bicycles
Many bikes have special basket mounts, but sometimes these holders may not be available. Let's consider options of fastenings: I option. There are attachment points to the frame and top stays. The connection is made at 4 points. II option. There are holes in the dropout, not in the feathers. Two types of solution: the luggage basket is fixed at three points with a clamp to the pin or seat tube. This reduces the rigidity of the system; the top of the structure is attached at 2 points with a clamp to the top feathers.
The mechanism is more rigid. III option. No connection points. This incident can be solved as follows: fasten to the top feathers from below and a convenient point from above with clamps. The design is unreliable. Can be used for short trips. to the lower feathers and upper feathers (a convenient place) we fasten with clamps. More reliable system. Double suspension - it is difficult to install a roof rack, which will be rigidly attached. The console type is more suitable here.
It is also possible to use a roof rack mounted on the top stays of the rear suspension. This design is unreliable when traveling in mountainous areas. Mounting a basket on a mountain bike is the ideal solution, it is to make a bracket yourself. For reliability, fasten with clamps to the frame. Three types of bicycles are distinguished by frame type: two-suspension (mountain bikes, sports bikes); hardtail (several models of mountain, tourist, hybrid); rigid (most tourist, road). For the last 2 types, classic-type baskets are suitable.
Permissible load capacity of bike baskets. Manufacturers produce bike baskets, indicating the allowable load. Consider the main criteria: The classic version of the basket. Designed for 20-25 kg. Exceeding the load will break the connecting elements (bolts and threaded holes). Front lightweight version of the basket on the steering wheel. Designed for 5-7 kg. The basket rack can hold more weight, but it pays to have driving skills. If a long trip is planned, it is worth distributing the load on the front mechanism (30%), rear (70%). Console cart. A load of 10-15 kg is provided. Even the smallest load will put pressure on the handlebar, frame tube, and additionally its own weight. This nuance is worth considering.
Material of manufacture Several materials are used for the manufacture of bicycle baskets. Features of installing a do-it-yourself front trunk-basket Not always on bicycles there are holes for attaching a trunk. Sometimes there is not enough quite a bit for a reliable installation of the system. There are several recommendations of experienced cyclists: File undercut the disc brake caliper. The rack racks must not touch parts of the brake system. Use brackets. Use clamps with a rubber gasket to avoid damage to the frame.
Tips for buying a bike basket
It is much more convenient if the trunk-cozine is fixed on the bike. A few tips: Lightweight but durable. Wide, long upper platform of the luggage system. Suitable for the width of the bike bag. The front and rear platform is raised (will prevent the bike backpack from moving). The presence of a clamp for cargo.
Adjustable stand height. Some manufacturers produce bike racks with hooks or load holders. Overview of manufacturers and models There are more and more fans to use a two-wheeled vehicle. Manufacturers worry not only about the release of bicycles, but also the necessary accessories. A fairly well-known Tranz X brand, inherent in JD Components Corporation from Taiwan. Offers attention to the classic trunk-basket with 3 straight racks. Universal luggage system, can be installed on several models of bicycles. The kit includes clamps and brackets. There is a bracket for clamping the load.
Czech manufacturer Author. Owners of double suspensions will be happy to purchase a cantilevered quick-release basket. The company also produces designs designed for tourist trips. The manufacturer has taken care of those who love bicycles with disc brakes. When buying, consult a specialized store or experienced cyclists.
Homemade luggage basket in front of a mountain bike There are fans who have a great desire to make a luggage basket on their own. This is quite realistic, having the technical basics and the necessary tools. Prepare quality content. It is better to use a steel profile. Determine the geometry of the bike basket. Set the center of gravity. Install additional tubes to lower the center of gravity.
Calculate the size of the luggage system. Consider the frame and handlebars of the bike. A self-made trunk made of steel during operation is reliable and practical. Cheaper than factory models. Which is better, front or rear rack? Depending on the purpose of the trip, it is worth choosing a luggage structure. If the ride will be to the store or short trips, you can use the front trunk (basket). For those who like to make tourist forced marches, trips through the mountains, it is better to install a rear luggage system. There are manufacturers who install racks on some models of cross-country, mountain bikes.
The developers of cycling accessories have come up with many different baskets for a variety of bike models. And it's not just about design. In addition to the appearance, these bike accessories differ from one another in:
- appointment;
- degree of load;
- type and nature of attachment.
Each cyclist or cyclist chooses a basket according to their own requirements. And they can buy several of them, as they say, "for all occasions."
Baskets front and back
on the steering wheel
Packing your essentials and pedaling around is the dream of every cycling fan. And “everything you need” fits into the basket, because it simply won’t work in a different way on a bicycle. More precisely, it will work, but it will not be so convenient. The common opinion of most two-wheeler owners is that the basket is the best thing that has been invented by the developers and designers of bicycle accessories for fans of cycling.
What is good about a bicycle basket located on the handlebars? Yes, the fact that what is packed in it is always at hand (a flask of water, a towel, a snack, a camera, etc.)! And you can not interrupt the trip, but simply get it and use it.
On the trunk
The basket on the trunk is chosen depending on the location of the trunk. The rear bike baskets are more spacious, you can put up to 10, 20, or even 40 kg of cargo in them (for different bicycle models - in different ways). But the baskets for the trunks above the front wheels are more compact and less capacious (but still you can add much more to them than those that are mounted on the handlebars).
Quite often, baskets mounted on bicycle trunks are used to transport pets. More often dogs than cats, because the former are much easier to tolerate any road and practically do not need constant control of the owner during movement. However, special luggage baskets have been developed for small animals, which have not only a fixed lid, but also a soft bedding with sides.
Bicycle baskets are roomy and not very
Some people need a large bike basket, some need a smaller one. One cyclist regularly rides his two-wheeled vehicle to the grocery store for shopping, while another rides light around the city solely to keep fit. Accordingly, the first will attach a capacious container to the trunk, in which you can put food for a week, and the second will buy a light, elegant basket on the steering wheel that can hold only a bottle of mineral water, a small towel, and a pack of napkins.
In general, a bicycle basket is also a great way to save money. When you have such a wonderfully roomy accessory, there is no need, for example, to buy a bag or a backpack, going on a bike ride, to the gym, shopping or on business, etc.
Materials for the manufacture of bicycle baskets
Depending on the purpose of bicycle baskets, they are made from various materials. It could be:
- vine;
- polypropylene;
- Aluminium alloy;
- steel;
- and even titanium.
Wicker baskets made of wicker, decorated with textiles, are very effective. It is these that the fair sex most often choose for their bicycles. The most popular, combining lightness, strength and the best price, are bicycle baskets of various designs made of heavy-duty and ultra-modern aluminum alloys.
Bicycle basket design
Any of the modern bicycle baskets, regardless of design and material, is a lightweight and durable construction that is not afraid of falls or bumps. She is also not afraid of adverse climatic conditions. Bicycle baskets are equally easy to endure heavy rains and scorching sun. True, it is better to protect products with textile trim from constant exposure to sunlight (so that they do not fade), and after a trip in the rain, it is worth wiping both the bicycle and bicycle accessories with a soft, dry flannel cloth.
Some baskets are equipped with special handles for the convenience of users. Having reached the place, you can remove such a basket and go, as with the most ordinary bag, to a store or to the market.
Many bike baskets come with lids. Including "carriers" designed for comfortable transportation of pets - small dogs, cats, ferrets, etc.
Many luggage baskets have special hooks that allow you to easily (but securely) fix and just as easily remove these accessories from the bike.
Structurally, bicycle baskets designed for mounting on the handlebars are made especially durable, since in case of a possible collision with moving or stationary objects, they take on a sufficiently large shock load.
Basket fasteners
Bicycle baskets can be fixed on a two-wheeled vehicle not only in different places, but also in different ways - that is, using different fasteners:
- Universal steering. This one is easy to remove, weighs little, has a small selling price and, most importantly, holds the basket securely.
- On a support bracket. Attaches to hub axle on bikes with 28" wheels.
- Quick-release plastic (in various configurations) on the steering wheel.
- Steering collar, etc.

Bicycle basket manufacturers
Many well-known world brands engaged in the production of bicycles of various models also produce their own lines of accessories for these vehicles. Including - and a variety of bicycle baskets.
However, there are also firms that make only “mounted” elements for two-wheeled “iron horses”. Among the most famous companies working in this area are the Italian "Elite", the American "Easton" and "Lizard Skins", the French "Look", the German "XLC" and "SKS", and the Japanese "Mizumi".
Lighting, cycling clothing and other useful things that every cyclist can (and sometimes should) have.
Essential cycling accessories
1. Cycling gloves
After a fall, first of all, the palms suffer, which, as a rule, cyclists put forward. In addition, gloves prevent the cyclist's hands from rubbing against the steering wheel, and also prevent stuffing of hands on bumps and pits.
There are two types of cycling gloves:
1.1 Short - they have open fingertips
1.2 Long - completely cover the hand, protecting from wind and frost.
Usually the palm on such gloves is made of leather or leatherette, and on top is spandex, lycra or other material that will "breathe" and remove moisture.
