Using this Basil MIK pannier bag tube set is easy. First, make sure your bike has a MIK carrier plate. Then, take the two bag tubes from the set and attach them to the MIK carrier plate. It should fit snugly. Once the tubes are attached, you can hook your single pannier bags onto the bag bars on the tubes. When using, avoid overloading the panniers to prevent any damage to the tubes or the carrier plate. To maintain the set, clean it regularly with a damp cloth. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust or other damage. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them promptly to ensure safe use.
