First Post: Pannier/ water bottle recommendations for Cross Current S.

[Bruce Arnold]

The manufacturer's website doesn't give a weight limit for the baskets. They are plenty sturdy. If you know the rating for your rack, go with that.

How much weight can each basket hold ?

I have not found a direct answer to that online. You might ask the makers,

But it is a steel basket and it is flexible and sturdy at the same time.

...They probably will hold the jugs you are asking about. IIRC a liter of water weighs around 2 pounds so you will have 16# in each basket, no issue for the 535...

Panier is great as was my first week. 12 mile each way, great fun, no real issues.

I have a sunlite basket on my CSS rack. Will that pannier still fit if a basket is mounted? I'm looking for a pannier with a secure fit that won't break the bank.

This is the basket: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Sorry for the delay, i rode this morning and confirmed that the pannier has to go on the top bar of the rack. I cant tell from the basket link if it will be compatible or not.

I put my pannier, market pannier from Banjo Bros, on the lower rack. The hooks we're almost too small for the bigger one. Needed hose clamps to keep it in place though.

OK, thanks for the input. I'm going to keep on the lookout as my situation is somewhat unique. The top loading panniers, or ones that sit high in general, won't work with a basket. Right now I have a 15 year old one zip tied on because the pannier bounced off, cracked my rack, and almost broke spokes. The bungee attachment method won't cut it on an electric.
