How to use

Position the Basil CENTO basket on the bicycle rear carrier so it sits centered and level over the wheel. Secure the basket to the rack according to the rack’s attachment points—use the appropriate clamps, bolts or straps supplied with your rack if needed. Place items inside the basket ensuring weight is distributed evenly and avoid overloading beyond the rack or bicycle manufacturer’s load limits. For smaller or loose items, use a bag or liner to prevent items from falling through the basket.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check mounting hardware and the condition of the coating; tighten fastenings after the first few rides and inspect periodically to maintain secure attachment and prevent corrosion. For safe riding, keep heavier items low and centered and secure loose items to avoid shifting during turns.
