Using this Basil Miles trunk bag is a piece of cake. First, if you want to adjust the capacity, you can easily expand the top compartment to increase it from 9 litres to 36 litres. For your water bottle, put it in the extra insulated pocket to keep it at a good temperature. When you need to cool your food and drinks, place the cooling packs (sold separately) in the dedicated compartments.
If you're carrying a helmet, use the x - shaped elastic band in the extra compartment. Just fasten it over the helmet with the snap fasteners.
Attaching the bag to your bike is super easy. Use the pre - installed MIK adapter plate to click the bag onto your rack with MIK profiles or a MIK carrier plate. And when you reach your destination and want to take the bag inside, simply click it off.
Here are some things to keep in mind. Make sure the cooling packs are properly sealed before putting them in the compartments. Don't overload the bag beyond its 36 - litre capacity to avoid damage.
For maintenance, clean the bag regularly with a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the tarpaulin material. Let the bag dry completely before storing it. This will help keep your bag in good condition and ready for your next adventure.
