  1. I'm looking for a plug and play bike rack for my Audi A1. I was told that Thule don't make a rack for my car. I really don't want to put a tow bar on my car just for my bike and also can't fit my 29" bike in the car even with the seats down. Any one got a solution? or anyone with an A1 got a bike rack that worked for them?
  2. My 6Fattie's wheels don't fit in the grooves of my Thule bike rack. The wheel rests on top of the "wheel holder" (don't know what to call it) so isn't flush as can been seen here. I can rest it on the "wheel holder" but that's not safe and I've cracked one already. These racks were made in a time when there weren't that many plus size wheeled bikes around. I have one of these side view any suggestions of what to do or what anyone with a similar problem has done to so sort it out?

  4. Hi guys, Looking for some advice, I have a Chevrolet Utility (2013) with no tonneau cover on at the moment. I am looking at options for carrying 2 bikes on the back of a Chev Utility (1 MTB bike & 1 Road bike), that will allow for the bikes to be locked onto the carrier as well. that is not too costly. I was looking at the option below, from Thule, but not sure what other options are available & looking for some advice. Thule Bed Rider 822XTR http://www.thule.com...22xtr-_-1689832 I would possibly want to add on a tonneau cover on later on, but not sure about it. Thanks in advance,
  5. (I hope I don't get in trouble for my play on words ) How tight should a clamp be tightened on a bike rack? I realize not all brands are the same, but I'm paranoid about (well,....many things )my bike falling off during transit, so I tighten the clamp quite a bit. Should the knob just be turned until it grabs the bike "comfortably" or is it ok for it to have a rather firm grip on the bike? I also use a piece of folded rubber matting like you'd use in a boot or a car to avoid the frame being scuffed by the clamp. I've got a Thule Euroway

  7. Thule's Touring range of roof boxes is available in five sizes and two colour options to fit every need. The full range comes loaded with features and have been shaped with minimal wind resistance and noise in mind. The Touring S (or 100) is the smallest in the range, but can still swallow a healthy 330L of luggage. That translates into three standard sized bags and one oversized bag that was designed to fit inside the nose of the roof box. Click here to view the article

  11. hi! i found a post about this, but from 2009... desperately need advice. the Thule roofrack on the back of a bakkie, is it a custom job, and where can it be done? is it a schlep to remove and is it stabe enough? Thanks
  12. Hey guys, I am based in Cape Town. I have recently bought a second hand Thule ClipOn 9103 bike carrier. The hooks on the top and the bottom are metal, but have been coated with a very thin ayer of rubber obviously during a heating process, which is still not sufficient for protecting the bodywork of your car. Does anyone know where one can find a strong adhesive rubber tape where you could line the inside of these hooks with tape to prevent any damage, as well as providing cushioning? Please see below a picture of the bike carrier as well as the tape I am looking for:
  13. I am absolutely exasperated by the service I have (not) received in attempting to locate spares for my Northwave Aerlite MTB shoes and Thule bike carrier, ant trying to buy a Giant Trance! My tale of woe starts some months ago when my Thule carrier decided to dismantle itself on a road in the Cederberg. One "click-lock" knob later and my bike was hanging behind my car! Was advised that the agents for Thule resided in Olympic Cycles so I contacted them and was told the parts were on order but that I would be contacted when they arrived in a couple of days. No calls of course but I followed up as I realized they may be busy. Then the runaround started.......no the parts were missing from the order etc but they would arrive soon. Some weeks later I again followed up. No parts. Now getting pissed off dismantling bike to travel. So I placed an actual order. Needless to say 3 months down the line still waiting for the f@$#ers to actually come up with the parts! So I have a little accident and break the micro ratchet strap on my NorthWave shoes. Ok shoes cost 3k so I'm kinda keen to replace a R50 part (available on Amazon,but not to SA) so I go to Trail and Tar where they were purchased and after begging to be served they agree to contact the agents to locate spares (did ask for agent details but not forthcoming but fair enough they are running a business). Obviously it would be too much to ask to actually get a call back from a Cape Town business so a week later I decide to go to Cycle Lab to have a look at a Giant Trance (yes apparently they are the agents now) and am pleased to learn that they also sell NorthWave and they will contact the agents for the spare part. Two weeks later and I am still riding with insulation tape to keep my shoe on! Oh and just for information CycleLab did not have a single Giant in stock but I could buy one from the catalogue!! (Jesus wept!) But wait.......Google is your friend........Hullabaloo is the importer.....so a quick email ( followed by another 2 weeks later after no response) and I am settling into a winter holding pattern with taped up shoes, a non-folding bike rack and an aging 26' Silverback begging to be replaced. So in order of priority I am imploring the Hubber community for suggestions as to where I can get parts for NorthWave shoes, Thule carrier spares and finally a Giant retailer that actually carries stock!!
  14. Bought a Thule Euroway G2 yesterday, and the number plate section seems to trouble me a bit. How do you fit the number plate nicely so it don't fall off. Its got 2 hooks you slide it in a t the bottom, but the top has none. Should you just double side tape the plate or is there a better way? Any advice much appreciated!

  16. Hello Hubbers, I need some help please. I bought a second-hand Thule ClipOn 9104 a couple days ago to attach to the back of my Toyota Auris (2010 or 2011 model I think). Although it says on the Thule website that the bike rack should be compatible with my car, I’ve been having trouble with getting it to fit properly. Basically, the rear spoiler (stock part) is being pulled down a centimetre or two by the 2 metal hooks at the top when I lower the handles to tighten the rack. I’m worried that the carrier will damage the spoiler or even snap it off completely. I’ve tried bending the hooks as much as possible but that hasn’t helped. Has anyone else had problems with this? If so, has it damaged your car or have you done anything to fix it? I would even consider taking the rear spoiler off as a last resort (if that’s even possible!). Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading. These are the hooks I'm referring to:
  17. Anybody use one of these? I'm getting a bit fed up carrying stuff on my back. The Topeak and Thule solutions look quite neat. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/topeak-beam-rack-mtx-e-type/rp-prod39084 http://www.thule.com/en/za/products/luggage-and-bags/bike-bags-and-racks/racks/thule-pack-n-pedal-tour-rack-_-pp_100016 I go to Europe a lot and see all manner of racks but these seem the neatest to me. Opinions, ideas etc would be appreciated. Cheers.
  18. So about 6 months ago I took the plunge and bought a tow bar and a Thule 914 2 bike rack. As you all know these racks aren't cheap, but thought at least I wont go wrong with a Thule.. Well this weekend I attempted to Load a second bike for the first time.... I could not for the life of me get 2 MTB's on my bike rack designed to hold 2 bikes... at lease not without them both getting scratched to $#$%#^ Am I being a moron? is there a trick to this? or should I have bought a 3 bike version ??
  19. Howzit guys. I'm in the market for a thule towbar mounted stand on carrier. Either the euroway or euroride. I will only ever carry 2 bikes max. Should I get the 2 bike or the 3 bike. I've heard stories of people saying it's better to load 2 bikes on a 3 bike carrier. Any advice and experiences would be appreciated.
  20. I hope that i am posting in the correct place but was curious to find out from those of you who frequently transport your bikes by plane, which would be a better option: Thule 699 roundtrip box or BikeSafe box? I have a BMC RM01 and really do not want my bike to be damaged due to negligent airline staff so any advice in this regard would be appreciated.
  21. So the fact that I got no bonus :thumbdown: , means that I can't afford the Thule rack I had planned to buy myself for Xmas. Does anyone know if the Thule dealer out by Clearwater mall rents out racks at all?
  22. In December 2013 I bought a Thule frame adaptor bar model 982 so that I could fit my new duel-sus bike onto my Saris Bones rack. It cost me R290. Yesterday, at the same shop, the same piece of metal/steel is now R450. In other words, it has increased in price by around 50%, in less than a year. (there is also a flimsy looking model, the 981, for R350) Now I know the interest rate fluctuates and I understand price increases, but this is a little bloody ridiculous, IMHO. Any other suggestions for this gadget? Been told that Sportsmans Warehouse has something similar but of course would rather spend the money and know that my bike is not going to fall off the car...
  23. Hi all, A long while ago I bought a 2ndhand Toyota RAV4 (2005 model) which, by design, have a spare wheel mounted on the back (booth) door. It also had a customised tow bar (in form of it being welded with additional steel bars to make it longer to reach beyond the spare wheel). I have that tow bar removed and sold because I never needed one. My MTB was transported mostly in the back, with back seats removed or folded flat. However, over time I got tired of loading / unloading the bike plus I now must share space with the "boss (wife)" in terms of additional baggage in booth. So, I want to transport my MTB outside the SUV. So, my options are as follows: (a) definitely NO tow bar again, because it will cause me lot of grief in terms of it being at a low angle underneath the SUV as well as requiring welding to extend its reach, meaning it will be closer to ground, as well as hitting speed bumps, etc (which did happened a lot with the original tow bar before I had it removed). Also, a Thule Euro bike rack mounted on a tow bar will prevent me from opening the 5th door / accessing the boot, unless I remove bikes from tow bar rack before I can open the door. (b) roof racks are not an option, ever, due to height of SUV involved, as well as the messy issues of MTB (bugs, dirt, etc) as well as garage issues. Which lefts me with a "rack-on-spare wheel" option which also sounds like a more sensible option because it is easy to get access to the booth with bikes hanging off the wheel. But my problem is that the Thule "Spare Me" rack does not fit the RAV4 spare wheel design. What else are my options? Can anyone give me some advice, please? Thanks in advance.
  24. ok firstly i am having some issues with the tow bar - trying to get that resolved with the dealership, but something else i noticed on the thule carrier. see here the arms that hold the bike and the wheel wells don't line up straight as I would expect it to - so in order for the clamp to attach to either seatpost or top bar of my bike - the bike has to lean quite a bit - which add to the lean on the towbar results in a rather precarious looking situation ideas?
  25. while wondering around in woodmead over the weekend I saw there's a thule shop there. Do they sell directly to the public? if so anyone bought from them? is there any benefit going there direct i.e better pricing or is it better to try wheel / deal somewhere.
