Using the Topeak Tetrarack R2 is easy. First, find the seat stays on your road, cross, hybrid, or touring bike. Attach the rack to the seat stays using the hook and loop strap mounting system and make sure it's tightened well to keep the load stable. If you want to use a Topeak TrunkBag, slide it onto the rack using the QuickTrack® system and lock it in place with a push of a button. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the tightness of the straps and the functionality of the QuickTrack® system. Clean the rack with a mild soap and water to keep it in good condition. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the rack. Also, don't overload the rack beyond its recommended capacity to ensure safety and performance.
