Review on Basil MIK Adapter Plate Black by Brett Kolpack

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MIK adapter plate under accessories

Works great on my bike with MIK rack. I was able to choose the bag I prefer and attach it to the bag fairly easily (I added a thin luan board to reinforce the bottom of the bag). Buying the bag and adapter plate separately was cheaper than buying a cheaper bag with the MIK adapter already installed. The only thing I don't like is that I can't put the key on my bike keychain and it fell out somewhere in my bag. Unfortunately, a large-tipped screwdriver is enough to remove the bag from the rack, eliminating the need for a spare key. I usually take the bag off and carry it to shops and the like when we're more than a few minutes away, so it's not a problem - and even if the bag was locked, someone could open it and take out contents. The lock basically fulfills its purpose of keeping the bag securely on the luggage rack while driving.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Not bad
