FAQs
What is the weight capacity of this basket?
While the exact weight capacity is not specified, it is recommended to avoid overloading the basket to ensure safe handling and prevent damage to the basket or your bicycle. Distribute weight evenly and consider the total load.
How do I clean the Dunlop bike basket?
Clean the basket with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
Will this basket fit on my e-bike handlebars?
The basket should fit on most standard e-bike handlebars, provided there is adequate clearance for the hooks and it does not interfere with any controls or displays.
Is the basket waterproof?
The metal construction itself is not inherently waterproof and can rust if exposed to moisture for extended periods. It is best to keep contents dry or use waterproof liners.
Can this basket be removed easily?
Yes, the basket is designed for easy attachment and removal using its metal hook system.
What are the dimensions of the basket?
The basket has a capacity of 20 liters. Specific external dimensions are not provided but are designed to be functional for typical shopping needs.
Troubleshooting
Basket is wobbly or insecure
Re-adjust the metal hooks for a tighter fit. Ensure there are no obstructions on the handlebar preventing a flush connection. Check if your handlebars are too wide or too narrow for the hook spacing.
Difficulty attaching hooks
Ensure the hooks are properly aligned with the handlebar. If encountering resistance, check for any cables or accessories on the handlebar that might be in the way. Gentle wiggling might help seat the hooks.
Basket rattles when empty
This is normal for metal baskets. You can place a small cloth or padding inside the basket when it's empty to reduce noise.
Rust appears on the metal
Clean the affected area with a mild rust remover. Apply a thin layer of clear coat or lubricant to the area to prevent further rusting. Ensure the basket is kept dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To set up the Dunlop bike basket, locate the metal hooks on the rear of the basket. Align these hooks with the handlebars of your bicycle. Depending on your handlebar design, you may need to adjust the angle of the hooks for a secure fit. Ensure the hooks are firmly seated and the basket does not wobble excessively. Test the attachment by gently pushing and pulling the basket before loading it.
Compatibility: This basket is designed to attach to the handlebars of most standard bicycles. Ensure your handlebars have sufficient clearance and are not obstructed by brake levers, shifters, or cables that would prevent a secure attachment. It is compatible with thicker handlebar grips or accessory mounts.
Care: Clean the basket regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the metal finish. For rust spots that may develop over time, you can use a mild rust remover and then apply a protective coating or sealant. Ensure the basket is dry before storing it to prevent corrosion.
