Here it is, some specification for Kettler Rear Bicycle Basket.

I have had my Basket for a few weeks. I have had no issue with it. I rarely take it off, it wonderful for carrying everything.
I bought this a year ago and the part that connects the attachments to the basket came apart. I really didn't use it for very heavy items and rarely used it. I am going to try to find someone to fix it.
I really like the basket. I'll probably need to put something across the top to keep things in, but it works well and stays put.
I have this type of rear basket mounted on a "beam" type rear rack (the kind that attaches to your seat post and has no downward stays) and it looks really really cool and I am amazed at what I've carried home in it (like 30 pounds). But one thing I had not thought of is the center of gravity issue. With the typical rear baskets that hang down from the rack you have a low center of gravity and that's good but when you carry a heavy load in this type of basket sitting up high atop your rack you better be fit and have a very good sense of balance because it can easily throw you off balance. Once I get rolling it's okay but I have my saddle up too high to keep my feet on the ground when starting and that moment there when I'm pushing off to get started and up into my saddle I have to work hard to stay balanced and I believe it's because of the load being up high. Just something to consider.
This is a great basket. It fits well on the bike rack, holds a lot, and is easy to get on and off. My one quibble is that the handle fell off within the first 5 rides (and while I was biking). They might want to figure out a better handle system because it is a useful feature. Or perhaps mine got a bit too shaken up in shipping. But other than that it's been a fantastic basket and I'm very happy with it.

I hope you may be interested in these items as well.
