MIK-Ready Trunk Bag?

[bikeroc]

Hi,
I just got a Specialized Turbo Vado that comes with a MIK rack. Seems like compatible bags are limited to Basil unless I want to buy an additional adaptor and plate. I'd rather get one that is MIK- ready. Any recommendations? Thank you

Good choice. Per MIK trunk bags, just search via Google or direct to MIK-Click.com

I did that and there are only two options. One is currently unavailable and the other doesn't have the greatest reviews. The only brand is Basil

I took the mount off my Topeak MTX bag and installed this MIK adapter plate:

Took about 20 minutes to do the Topeak with just basic tools. I suppose the adapter would work on other bags as well.

$30 for the adapter was cheaper than buying a new Basil bag.

The key is the MIK adapter plate. I have purchased several and put them on a trunk, a bicycle basket, a plastic storage bin, and a milk crate. it provides flexibility depending upon what I need to carry.

Agreed. The adapter plate is the key. I use a basket and panniers that we just click in to place. Usually I leave the basket on her step through model in case I take the puppies for a ride I don’t kick them in the head getting my leg over my high bar.

Bontrager(Trek) sells MIK bags. They are high priced though.
