such baskets sag over time.
I looked for baskets in oblong shapes around the household, to take photos, but I seems that I trashed them by now. My problem has been of carrying loads to and back from work. The long-term experience has been of the common commercial wire baskets needing some rigid platform from the bottom, preferably ultimately resting on the axles, to preventing the long-term sagging. In addition, the baskets need stronger, thicker wires in their structure, to keep shape, beyond the thin wire there to keep tiny items from falling out. Finally, it is good to put some lining into a basket to prevent grating action. A book cover can be destroyed by such a basket within 5 min ride.I’ve never seen that happen, and there are plenty in use here in Oxford, every other bike seems to have one.
Could you tell me where you got that back plate for the basket from? Do you have a link?

I have that one. I meant the one on the basket.
