When I read your comment about it coming off I just had to go and hug my bikes and tell them it was going to be okay!  Still a beauty of a bike tho! Edited August 27, 2017 by hellocolour Caerus and BSG 2
Caerus Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Oh crap - what Thule was it and how did it fail? Thule VeloCompact 925 The circled knobs were tightened, and the bolt inside the knob was tightened with a allen key. They became loose somehow so the U-Shaped bar fell over with the bike. It did it twice For some reason that bar was not seating properly. The bike shop assembled and fitted it for me. I was probably stupid for not checking myself, lesson learnt. The bike shop did rectify the issue. Edited August 27, 2017 by Caerus

BenReaper Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Just ordered these ,was to cheap not toI also got to get another one of those bars. I've got one on my bike at the moment, but stupidly cut it down to 720mm when I originally fitted it as I thought that was all I needed. Now I seek at least an extra 20mm on each side.
