The tips above did not work.
Basically with the Thule EasyFold XT2 variation that I have, I need a 2" (50mm) tow ball with a 1" (25mm) shank and 73mm height so that I can lock the bike rack.
Unfortunately, its hard to find this 50mm x 25mm x 73mm tow ball. So I am still looking for one.
I'm surprised that I am having a hard time finding this actual specification in the UAE.
its frustrating as the manual didnt specifcy the 50mm x 25mm requirement. They only indicated 73mm height.
I found one in NZ
Thule Hi Rise 50mm Towball (evocycles.co.nz)
The ball slips into the mechanism but after it has been inserted, when i push the Thule lever to lock, it doesn't lock it.
So is this what you are saying, i need the rack to be completely upright for it to lock?
Hi,
I just bought a Thule XT2. I was trying to install it in my towbar but it wasn't locking.
Here are my specifications
1. Tow Bar Ball: 2 inches
2. Tow bar neck (below the ball): 1 1/4 inch
3. Thule XT2 Locking mechanism hole 1 inch
The way i am seeing it, the tow bar neck is bigger than the locking mechanism. So it wont lock properly. But I doubt that is the issue. I haven't resolved this yet.
What am i doing wrong / missing? There wasn't any instructions in the manual apart from the height of the ball to the neck should be 73mm.
