Using the Topeak Tetrarack M2 is easy. First, find a suitable spot on your MTB. It can be attached to full - suspension seat stays or hardtail MTBs without rack eyelets. Use the hook and loop strap mounting system to cinch it down tight on your bike to keep it stable. For Topeak TrunkBags, just slide them along the QuickTrack® system until they lock in place. You can release them with a simple push of a button. If you have KLICKfix® / RackTime® Snapit or Vario system bags, they'll work with this rack too. Remember, don't use this rack on carbon forks and seat stays. Also, it won't work with front or rear - mounted V - Brake type systems. To maintain it, keep it clean by wiping it down after each use. Check the mounting straps regularly to make sure they're tight and in good condition.
