L.T.G Posted November 9, 2009 Share Coming back from Van Gaalens on Sunday, I almost lost two bikes.a nut "mysteriously" disappeared of a bolt on my Thule Euroway. How the remaining part of the rack managed to hold up both bikes is a miracle! L.T.G2009-11-09 03:03:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman1834 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Oops, at least it wasnt your fault. I forgot to sucure the bikes to the rack and my wife's bike fell off. Lucky at very low speed. Ask the guy at the hardware store for a Nylon lock nut. It wont rattle off ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But according to the chap at my LBS, the Thule's come with a similar product on already?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted November 9, 2009 Share What's the red stuff on the threads, thread lock? But yeah, a nylock nut and a washer should work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
