Will The Front Cargo Retro Bike Basket Work With 31.8mm Giant Connect Handlebars?

Question:

Hello etrailer team! Will this basket work on the front of my Giant Alight Road Bike? I cant quite tell from the description if it will fit around the handlebars. Ive attached a few pics of my bike. Thanks!

The Front Cargo Retro Bike Basket with Deluxe Quick Release Bracket # S90004 fits handlebars ranging from 22.2 mm, 25.4 mm, 28.6 mm, and 31.8 mm. In the photo you attached I see that the handlebars say 31.8mm, so as long as your bars are indeed 31.8mm then the basket will clamp around the bars just fine.

One last thing to keep in mind is that the mounting brackets are 2" apart so make sure your clamp in the center of your handlebars is not wider than 2". I attached a demonstration video to give you some more insight; you can see the mounting bracket measurement around the 2:35 mark in the video.
