Using the Topeak TetraRack M2 Rear is a breeze. First, make sure your bike's seatstays have a diameter larger than 15mm and a width between 95 - 125mm. Also, check that there are no obstacles on the seatstays and front forks. Then, use the hook and loop straps to attach the rack to the seatstays. Adjust the rack using the strut slots so that the top plate is level. You can easily attach Topeak TrunkBags or other compatible bags. Just slide them onto the QuickTrack® system and lock them in place with a button press. When it comes to the rear reflector, use the provided clamp to attach it. As for the tail light, you can mount it using the tail light mount. Important things to note: Don't use this rack on carbon forks, seat stays, or carbon frames. Also, don't exceed the maximum weight capacity of 12kg / 26lb. And remember, it won't work with front or rear mounted V - Brake type systems. For maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it down regularly. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust, especially on the aluminum parts. Check the straps and connections from time to time to make sure they're secure.
