FAQs
Does this basket fit on any bicycle rack?
No, this basket is designed specifically for use with Topeak MTX compatible rear racks.
What is the weight limit for the basket?
The maximum load capacity for this basket is 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg).
Is the basket waterproof?
The basket is constructed from welded metal wire, which is weather-resistant but not waterproof; items inside will be exposed to rain.
Can I leave the basket on my bike when parked?
Yes, but because it is quick-release, it is recommended to detach it if you are leaving your bike unattended in public areas for an extended period.
How do I carry the basket once removed?
The basket features a convenient swing-up carry handle that allows it to function like a handheld shopping basket.
Troubleshooting
Basket does not click into place
Check the MTX track for debris or dirt and ensure the Fixer 6 button is not stuck in the depressed position.
Basket feels loose on the rack
Inspect the rack surface and the basket base rails for signs of wear; ensure the unit is pushed fully forward until locked.
Difficulty removing the basket
Ensure you are fully pressing the release button and pulling the basket backward evenly to avoid binding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the basket, align the base rails of the unit with the track grooves on any compatible Topeak MTX rear rack. Slide the basket forward until you hear a distinct click, confirming the Fixer 6 mechanism is engaged. To remove, depress the release button and slide the unit backward.
Compatibility note: This product is strictly designed for use with Topeak MTX racks. Ensure your rack is rated for the total weight of your load plus the basket weight. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, clean the metal wire periodically with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris, and inspect the locking latch for any obstruction to ensure the button mechanism functions smoothly.
