abcdefg Posted February 16, 2015 Share Hi I just bought a Thule tow bar 2 bike rack. The funny thing is it doesn't fit on my tow bar. It seems the ball is too big where the rack can't close properly. I can't seem to find any similar issues or answers. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted February 16, 2015 Share What does this do? I have the non tilting rack. Is it where the push button release is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted February 17, 2015 Share Yes I understand I need to look for the know. But what does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted February 17, 2015 Share Yes I understand I need to look for the know. But what does it do?It adjusts the size of the clamp to accomodate different tow bar sizes. off the top of my head, clockwise is bigger. When moving mine between different tow bars, I rest the rack on the towbar and turn the knob slowly until it slips on. If after a few turns and it's still not right - turn it the other direction.

Dusty Posted February 17, 2015 Share It adjusts the clamp onto your ball thereby allowing for different sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieterJvR Posted February 17, 2015 Share Thanks a lot guys. But I cant seem to find it. where on the rack is it?These racks work a bit different than the platform ones, you have to move the horizontal clamp down bar (where the straps are connected) up or down on the rack itself - this will allow the bar to clamp a bigger or smaller tow ball. Move it up to allow for a bigger tow ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
