Product Information
Full details
The AtranVelo Cycle Basket - Black is designed for cyclists who need a durable and convenient storage solution for their daily commutes or errands. Its key benefit is the integrated AtranVelo Standard (AVS) system, allowing for quick and secure attachment of accessories. A potential consideration is the need for an additional adapter if you have a traditional pannier rack. This classic steel basket comes in three sizes (Small, Medium, Large) and features a comfortable carrying handle.

FAQs
What is the AtranVelo Standard (AVS) system?
The AVS system is a proprietary mounting interface developed by AtranVelo that allows for quick, tool-free attachment and detachment of accessories like baskets and bags to compatible racks and carriers.
Do I need an adapter for my existing bike rack?
Yes, if your bike's pannier rack does not have the AVS mounting points, you will need to purchase and install a separate AVS adapter plate onto your existing rack to use this basket.
How do I choose the right size basket?
Consider what you will typically carry. The Small (16L) is suitable for essentials, the Medium (22L) for moderate shopping or a small backpack, and the Large (28L) for larger grocery runs or multiple items.
Can this basket be used on the front or rear of the bike?
The basket can be used on either the front or rear, provided you have a compatible AVS front carrier block or rear rack, or the appropriate AVS adapter mounted on your chosen rack.
Is the carrying handle sturdy enough for heavy loads?
The carrying handle is designed for convenience when the basket is off the bike. For heavy loads, it's best to keep the basket securely mounted on the bike rack and utilize the rack's weight capacity.
What is the weight limit for the basket?
The weight limit is determined by the capacity of the AVS system, the compatible rack or carrier, and the adapter used. Always refer to the specifications of your bike's rack and the AVS adapter for precise weight limits.
Troubleshooting
Basket is loose on the rack
Ensure the AVS system or adapter is properly engaged. Check for any debris obstructing the connection points on both the basket and the rack/adapter. Re-seat the basket firmly.
AVS mechanism is stiff or won't engage
Clean the AVS connection points on both the basket and the rack/adapter. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant if necessary. Check the adapter instructions for any specific maintenance tips.
Basket rattles while riding
Confirm the basket is fully clicked into its mount. Ensure no items inside are loose and causing noise. If using an adapter, verify it is securely fastened to the pannier rack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The AtranVelo Cycle Basket - Black utilizes the AtranVelo Standard (AVS) system. It clicks directly onto any AVS-compatible front carrier block or rear rack. If you have a traditional pannier rack, you will need to purchase and install an AVS adapter plate onto your rack first. Follow the specific instructions included with the AVS adapter for secure mounting.
Compatibility: The basket is designed to work with the AtranVelo Standard (AVS) system. It is compatible with AtranVelo front carriers and rear racks. For non-AVS racks, ensure you have a compatible AVS adapter installed.
Care: To maintain the basket's appearance and function, clean it regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. Periodically check that the AVS mechanism or adapter is clean and free of debris to ensure a secure fit. Wipe dry after cleaning.
