Is the frame made of metal, so I could strap it to my bike rack without it collapsing?

It's a very sturdy frame, but I would guess it's heavy-duty plastic rather than metal. I'm not sure how it would do being strapped to a bike.

No. clamp is hard plastic lined by rubber. You probably won't want a metal clamp anyway because that may cause damage to your frame.

It doesnt attach very well so whatever you're trying is probably correct. Also, just a heads up, I found with mine that if I kept folding it up and storing it again the framing gets moved and the frame will bend inwards instead of outwards in some spots.

Yes, but only if you mount it on the top of the frame so it's hanging down. It depends on how large the bike is as well.

Yes, it is actually a metal frame that supports the mesh piece. Without the frame you would need to have another means for attaching the mesh.

Yes...also please note; although this frame looks good, it is a bit weak, post connections to rail will bend under stress.

As long as the frame is assembled tight, it is no problem to move to stabilize but I would not want to pick it up and carry around for any big distance.

The metal frame seems to be very durable, but with that being said, I wouldn't put much weight on it. I've had mine for almost a year, for the money you won't find a better one.

The basket can be fastened tightly. In fact, it requires a moderate amount of hand strength to close it and fasten it with the hook.The basket might rattle if it were not mounted well onto the rack. See my recommendation to use cable clamps in lieu of the included mounting hardware.

I believe the metal frame is aluminum. It is a very sturdy and well made chair. It has a lock on the right side, so dont forget to lock or it will fold up on you.

Not at all. This rack can handle almost anything you can hang up. Won't sway and won't bend

No. I bought one of the metal frames and set it on that. Seems to me that box springs are an outdated concept.

Sure but the bike might be longer than the tire tray, check spec's. The carrier is built well, the basket is a little flimsy so I added supports under the basket which also helped eliminate the tilting / rocking back and forth. Very solid...

I have not experienced any straps loosening or any sign the carrier would fall off. One aspect that needs considering is that this carrier only holds the bike from the top tube and by very narrow straps. The first time I put it on the road I discovered that my bike would look like it was going to fly, holding only from the top is not enough! I stopped and used some bungee straps to hold the frame stable in place and stop the wheels from turning

If it is screwed in actual wood I feel like it would. Mine is screwed into a drywall with a big anchor and it's holding up very well with one bike on it.

Yes, you can use this as a bike rack. Do not clamp it down on any carbon-fiber tubes, however. Good luck.

No its metal, which kind of caused an issue for me the weight did not allow for it to stay up. Hope this helps.
