Title: Large Basket for Rad Rack on the mission?
Post by: synthesizerman on September 23, 2021, 09:15:08 PM
Has anyone put this on the rad mission rear rack? basket seems to have holes for either orientation, but it looks like it might not fit longways front to back. Anyone try this?

They aren't in stock right now at Rad? does anyone had a good alternative that works well with the rad mission rear rack?

I want something I can toss my backpack in and throw a bungie cord over the top.

I have a Radmission and this basket.  When you have it oriented length-wise it extends to just beneath the saddle and just barely past the rear wheel.  It works but the only caveat is that you can't lower the seat all the way before it hits the basket.

You can always go for the classic look.

Great! Now if they were only in stock!

So, I got one. It's bigger than I expected it to be from the pictures. I guess I should have looked at the measurements.

It fits long ways front to back, but I found I had to shift the seat forward to keep the back of my legs from bumping into it while I'm pedaling. I've got it set up ok now, but I'm not sure its really what I need. I might trade it out for the front rack.
