DIY Lockdown Fix-it Project | How to Fix Schwinn Brand Bike Basket | Bel...



My Schwinn Brand Bicycle front mounted basket has gotten a ton of use and has had the weight limit put to the test many times. It's been a good basket, hauled many things, survived and accident, been left in the rain and left in the glaring sun. It got abused so much so that it rusted a little and broke.
I couldn't see tossing it out over some normal aging, so it seemed like a good idea just to repair it. I used some Belzona, which is a two part epoxy to patch it up. I gave it overnight to dry and then painted it the next day.

DIY BELL Brand Bicycle Headlight and Taillight-Assembly, Installation, a...




This taillight and headlight installation was fairly straightforward, however, there were a couple of things that got me momentarily hung up. The very first one was how to to get the batteries in the headlamp. Well there is a button underneath the light right at the point where the strap meets the light casing itself. Press this button and the clear portion of the headlight will detach from the black body. This will allow you to install your three AA batteries. The headlight has three light functions. A dimmer beam, brighter beam, and a strobe blinking function. It's a very nice light and provides an illuminated road or trail in front of you during non-daylight riding opportunities. Very happy with the lighting it provides.

The taillight battery installation is a piece of cake. The casing between the red plastic portion comes apart from the black plastic body portion with relative ease in a prying motion. It does take two hands. This is good b/c you don't want it coming apart on you out on the road. The only hang up with installing this was that if you decide to place it anywhere else besides on you seat post, it's bulkiness can be a little cumbersome as far as ease of fit goes. I decided to place this just below the seat post in the back on the frame portion of the bike. This light has two functions, blinking function and a solid red light. Works well. Here's a super cheap kit just like it.



For the price of these two lights (as a kit) it wasn't a bad buy. There are better and lighter lights out there for bikes, but for the price, ease of installation, and standard AA battery usage, these work very well for non-professional bike riders such as myself.
