Using the Topeak Tetrarack M1 is easy. First, find a suitable spot on your MTB's suspension or rigid fork. Use the hook and loop strap mounting system to attach the rack tightly to your bike. Make sure it's secure to keep your load stable. When using Topeak TrunkBags, slide them onto the QuickTrack® system and lock them in place with a simple button push. For other compatible bags like KLICKfix® / RackTime® Snapit 1.0 or Vario system bags, follow their specific attachment instructions. As for maintenance, regularly check the straps and the rack's connections for any signs of wear or looseness. Clean the rack with a mild soap and water to keep it in good condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
