best bike basket of all time? install & review of the Manivelle basket

[@nxross]

Can always rely on Gary for lofi chill vids in a world saturated with "influencers" shooting super hi-res vids cluttered with special effects and fancy production

[@garysprojects]

Hahah cheers my dude I just try to make the best of what I have (filmed on cracked screen iPhone 🤣🤣)

[@cesartagliari6459]

simplicity is the key!

[@norman2341]

Sooo true. Genosack videos are also very chill in their cuts but i guess thats not a secret

[@glennpettersson9002]

Perhaps the most useful modification you could make to any daily rider 👍

[@garysprojects]

Totally agree ! Front rack so handy

[@kenlang6672]

Giving Wald a run for the money. Don't worry about weight limits. Down in Guatemala they put a family of six on a bicycle and put a weeks worth of groceries in the basket!

[@garysprojects]

Hahah that’s right ! Weight = strength!!

[@Slime_on_a_rock]

I had always opt for used dish washing baskets or grill baskets, excellent DIY projects too. 😍🥰

[@garysprojects]

Nice !! That’s a good tip! I love making diy baskets / racks myself too (made a few how-to videos haha) , but yeah the manivelle is a good no fuss option

[@Slime_on_a_rock]

@@garysprojects Yeah I love your unique DIY, will definitely want to see more of these DIY hehe¬

[@garysprojects]

@JyonWong thx my dude i appreciate that !

[@coachjeff493]

We just love a good basket and even better a basket vid. All our bikes in japan have baskets and we just love em. Keep up the great content mate

[@garysprojects]

Awesome ! Yep super handy to have a basket on a bike for sure , no more sweaty back !

[@ashpunting]

I looked on the website, and it's got everything you need for travel. You can even get the basket bag no bad. 😊

[@garysprojects]

Ya they make a lot of cool stuff I like the stem bag 👍

[@Sekhmet6697]

I’ve read in the instructions of my basket (local brand from Argentina) that you’re not supposed to attach it to a quick release, but to use the axle or a fork eyelet. They may be exaggerating but thought I’d mention it anyway. Edit: it actually says so in the Wald website as well.

[@garysprojects]

Okay thank you ! I’ve made a rack that I’ve attached to qr before and had no problem after using it for months - so decided to do the same here. Of course I’m just one person so good to make your own judgement. If it becomes a problem I will get some spacers and connect them to the eyelet ! Cheers!

[@Sekhmet6697]

@@garysprojects Yeah, I don’t really see how it could damage the quick release, but it could have something to do with affecting the grip of the QR bolt and causing the wheel to slip out… which is far more scary 😨

[@garysprojects]

No issues so far but i can see what you’re saying. Will keep an eye out thanks !

[@fallenshallrise]

I run my Wald on the skewer and I've never had a problem. Still I bet Wald isn't trying to get sued for someone under tightening and dropping a front wheel. Same reason a lot of bikes come with those wheel retainer clips now.

[@andyc972]

Thanks Gary, Looks a great practical option !

[@garysprojects]

Cheers Andy! I agree, no fuss at all 👍

[@tracerxrider]

Solid baskets. I have one in black and one in silver. I didn’t get any of the hardware or struts. Nice setup.

[@garysprojects]

Yes! Super solid , the basket itself is quite sturdy. Happy with how it turned out , cheers !

[@HoboSlomo]

Hey there, imo it would be better to use the fork eyelets and just use some spacers to clear the fork, the qr skewer is not designed to carry load.

[@garysprojects]

Cheers mate ! I will switch it out if I have any issues or get around to getting some spacers/longer bolts

[@kwestak]

Love your videos! Going to Melbourne from Europe on Sunday, might see you somewhere maybe :)

Do these add on baskets work for every bike?

[@garysprojects]

for most bikes yes, as long as you have the eyelets

[@user-qw1ln7gb8b]

Hello! Can you tell me what kind of bar model and its parameters you use?

[@garysprojects]

Check out my 90s bar comparison video, has it all in there - cheers

[@user-qw1ln7gb8b]

[@Vtoq]

can you do a restoration on a 90s hybrid bike? i hear hybrid bikes are rare in australia

[@garysprojects]

There are so many hybrids here!! Maybe if I find a cool one, cheers !

[@the_nondrive_side]

this is probably the closest thing to perfection ever.. i've had the frame and stem and bars.. just never together. on these ones the trick is to route all the other cables in the other opening by the cantilever hanger point. makes for very close management even more important with a rack. same name IG I had posted a Mongoose Alta with the mts-101

[@garysprojects]

cheers mate! i think routing it through that hole might make it a bit tight on the brake and gear cables near the headset no? but ya if it works for you, good stuff👍

[@the_nondrive_side]

@@garysprojects I did indeed have to give it a nice large S curve I've done one with all of them routed there and one with just the rear brake routed there because three cables jammed through was a bit much. I had a NIshiki build with a 1x but took it apart CBBO failure.. routed 2 cables there

[@Will-cs3yb]

Awesome Vid!! Is it possible to use this basket with a carbon fork and V-brakes? (2002 Jamis Quest)

[@garysprojects]

Mmm interesting question , I’m not sure you will have to send the company a dm

[@Nick-lm9hg]

Great video. What chainset do you have on the bike?

[@garysprojects]

Crankset is cooks bros racing 👍cheers!

[@Hiasibua]

I hate that the background music is basically _the lick_ in loop. 😂

[@garysprojects]

sorry mate i'll try to pick a better one next time 😂

[@Hiasibua]

@@garysprojects I don't think it's gonna draw many people's attention away from the important bits. 😉 On your voiceover there's quite some quantisation noise, though. Maybe you could record your audio in a higher bitrate / send it through your editing workflow uncompressed. It's not terribly much, but more than what seems to be usual for the KZbins.

[@garysprojects]

@@Hiasibua oh that’s cool I just record on Adobe premiere pro (on my Mac)when I edit. I will see if I can figure out how to change the bit rate thanks 👍

[@Hiasibua]

@@garysprojects Nice! I can't even give you advice, even though I build TV studios 😅 But I don't operate them. So I can't pin down what might be the cause for this. Sorry. Greetings and good night from the other end of the world!

[@EvendimataE]

isnt the big front basket have bad effect on steering when loaded heavy? i thought rear mounted baskets are better...and front baskets are just the trend now

[@garysprojects]

You’re right , but one huge benefit of having a front basket is that you get to keep an eye the stuff and notice if anything flys off. Don’t worry about trends , use what works for you

[@EdwardChen0]

I have a front rack on my bike that I mostly stopped using because of how much it affected the steering. They make head tube mounted racks that seem like a better option, but probably only for smaller loads.

[@garysprojects]

@@EdwardChen0 Fair enough, gotta use what works for you ! Cheers

[@91722854]

how much load can the basket take given it's resting on the quick release axle?

[@garysprojects]

Rated for 10kg , I didn’t try too much than that , on my diy rack I could do 10 so I reckon this one could do way more if you really wanted to , feels super sturdy

[@91722854]

@@garysprojects cool, I've got a basil portland front rack and it's also rated for 10kg, also rated for 10kg, but not sure if it's on a QR skewer, happen to have a spare solid axle, will go about trying to swap it with the QR axle in the hub

[@garysprojects]

Okay sounds good ! Solid axle will be stronger for sure , l am lucky enough to have other (cargo) bikes if I wanna carry more stuff , so for me not too fussed with the QR

[@Donovangulya]

What do you film with Gary

[@garysprojects]

iPhone XS MAX

[@markifi]

it's nice but i don't know about "best". for that it at least would have to attach to the frame and not the fork

[@garysprojects]

Most baskets attach to the fork though ? What basket are you thinking about that attaches to the frame ?

[@markifi]

well i only saw patent drawings for this@@garysprojects it was a huge pvc pipe looking thing and large hose clamps holding two thick rods each side of the downtube, and it reached in front of the handlebar. well technically if this only exists in theory this could still be the "best basket of all time" but i mean there's still heaps of room for improvement. not necessarily thinking of hauling heavy loads, but being able to take a medium sized dog on the bike would need the basket not to turn with the bars. other than this, the brompton front rack, but that of course needs a special frame

[@garysprojects]

@@markifi ahhh I see , I think this is manivelle one is def the best one out right now (imo) since it can fit on most bikes and well designed (looks function etc) but ya each to their own

[@ronbarurot]

how much it cost shipping here in Australia?

[@garysprojects]

Mmm I’m not sure exactly but it’s 30-40 aud to ship something of similar size to France

Would be too close to the wheel no ?

[@oreocarlton3343]

@@garysprojects not if you bent it at an adequate angle but it depends on the fit, I think it might affect the warranty doe but that way you keep a wider canti yoke profile and have better brakes
