Product Information
Full details
The AtranVelo DAILY AVS Basket is designed for cyclists who need a durable and convenient carrying solution for daily commutes and errands. Its primary benefit is the AtranVelo System (AVS) integration, allowing for quick attachment and removal of accessories. A potential consideration is that it relies on an adapter for traditional pannier racks, adding an extra step for some users.

FAQs
What does AVS stand for?
AVS stands for AtranVelo System, which is a mounting system designed by AtranVelo for quick and secure attachment of accessories like baskets and bags to bicycle racks.
Do I need a special rack for this basket?
If your bike has an AVS-compatible rack, no special adapter is needed. If you have a traditional pannier rack, you will need an AVS adapter, which is sold separately, to mount the basket.
How do I clean the basket?
You can clean the basket using a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the basket is dried after cleaning to prevent rust.
What are the dimensions of the 22-litre basket?
While exact external dimensions are not specified, the 22-litre capacity offers a medium-sized carrying volume suitable for daily essentials and moderate shopping.
Can this basket be used in the rain?
Yes, the basket is designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, it is recommended to dry the basket after exposure to rain to maintain its condition and prevent rust.
What is the weight of the basket?
The product information does not specify the exact weight of the basket. However, being made of steel, it is a robust but potentially heavier option compared to plastic or fabric alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Basket not securely attaching to rack
Ensure the AVS connectors on the basket and the rack (or adapter) are clean and free of debris. Verify that the basket is fully engaged by pushing down firmly until it clicks. If using an adapter, confirm it is correctly and securely mounted to the pannier rack.
Rattling noise during ride
Check that the basket is fully locked into place. If the issue persists, ensure there are no loose parts on the basket or the mounting system. For traditional racks with an adapter, double-check the adapter's mounting bolts.
Rust spots appearing on the basket
Light rust can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish. After cleaning, apply a thin coat of protectant or wax to prevent recurrence. Ensure the basket is dried thoroughly after washing or exposure to rain.
