Will it rust easily?

Don't think so....it looks like it is protected against rust. But, I've only had it for six months and it doesn't sit in the weather, so....I may not be the best judge.

The wire rack is powder coated and it's pretty durable. I've owned mine for almost 3 years and I don't have rust on it yet, but then again I keep my bikes indoors when im home. But to answer the question, no it will not rust easily, but it will rust eventually over time if you abuse it. I do use the rack alot and it has the strength to last and last.

I've had it for several months and no rust yet. There are 2 clips that attach it to the bike rack that may rust first at the bolts.

After a year of use carrying fruit and plants home from the local farm, there's not a speck of rust on either of mine. They are mounted on both sides of the rear wheel.

Jake there is a heavy painted or dipped finish on it. I would assume if that is not scratched it will be good for some time. I am in Key West with salt in the air, I will rinse the bike basket with fresh water if I get direct salt water spray on it. I have had it close to a month now. I have sprayed the whole bike with CRC which I highly recommend but do not spray areas like seat shaft, wheel rims, and handle bar. Jim

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

I only bought mine for indoor use. I do believe it would rust quickly, unless you use it in a gazebo so the elements don't get at it too quickly.

Yes. It's engraved so nothing to wash away. It's also stainless steel so it won't rust.

I have had no problem with rusting, just be sure to care for it properly after each use.

Probably it would rust as it is made of metal. No salt water here in the Midwest to test itMaybe you could paint it with a rust proof paint before using and be sure to rinse with freshwater after using

Stainless steel will not rust unless it some how gets impregnated by a carbon steel. So unless some how you scratch it with a cheaper metal then it will never rust.

It won't rust for at least 5-10 years because it is galvanized steel...we are loving ours! Definitely recommend it!

From my experience it doesn't rust easily as long as you don't store it with water on it keep some mineral oil with you to keep the blade water resistant mine is rust free and the coating does a fine job at keeping it that way to

As long as it stays on, yes. If it cracks off, t may not. Stainless is not suppose to rust at all. That's why its STAINLESS....

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.

It will lose its finish and rust. It is not made to be in the direct sunlight or get wet. If you had it covered by a porch or something where it would get indirect sunlight and not be impacted by the weather it would probably be fine.

Not an expert, but looking at it, it might resist rust for a time, but i think it would eventually rust. I think you need one of those solid core industrial types that could be painted over once signs of rust are noted. Sorry that's my best answer.

Nope! We have had ours for nearly three years now. It sits outside year round. We live in Ohio. No rust. The only thing that is less than perfect is the fit of the inner lid. It's not quite "true". Not a big issue. Good luck!

Never is a problem. It dries between uses--It doesn't rust if that is what you are afraid of.

I would not - it looks like it would rust easily if it is exposed to rain or a high amount of moisture.
