abcdefg Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 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?

Any suggestions?There's a knob/dial thing that you turn to adjust it .it just under the push down lever thing .
abcdefg Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 What does this do? I have the non tilting rack. Is it where the push button release is?
Meentb Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Look for the riffled knob Uni mentioned. Works a charm
Oxter Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 What's the riffles knod uni?"Uni" is the first hubber who commented on your question. So Meentb is basically saying, look for the riffled knob.
Guest notmyname Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Round and round and round and round and round and Uni and Google and Uni.
abcdefg Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Yes I understand I need to look for the know. But what does it do?
Uni Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 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 Posted February 17, 2015 It adjusts the clamp onto your ball thereby allowing for different sizes

abcdefg Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks a lot guys. But I cant seem to find it. where on the rack is it?
PieterJvR Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 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
PieterJvR Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 And a picture of where to adjust the clamp down bar
