Using this Basil Cento WSL Rear Basket is easy. First, connect it to your rear mount rack using the quick - connect attachment method. You can place various items in it, like groceries or a small backpack, as long as they don't exceed the 11 - lb weight limit. When using it, make sure the items are placed evenly to keep the bike balanced. For maintenance, wipe it down regularly with a damp cloth to keep it clean. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rusting. Avoid overloading the basket to maintain its shape and functionality.
