Thank you mate appreciate it

A nice and clear 'how to' review, thanks for this. I've been thinking about picking up a used one of these for a while now but wasn't totally sure on just how secure they were when attached and indeed, how to attach them! Good job on the presentation.

I am not a native English speaker, so I had to make full attention to your accent but besides that: it is a very clear instruction video. Thank you ! I hope your wrist healed in the meantime.

Hi Charlie, did you get any side to side swaying of the Thule rack unit when mounted on the ball? I've just installed one, and I dont see a means to prevent the sway. Not sure if it's supposed to allow for that, and whether it presents any problem. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for clear video. The bike rack looks slanted or is it just because the driveway is on a slope? Thanks again!

@CharlieRidesMTB

Thanks mate. To be fair I think I clamped it on a bit wonky but that can be easily fixed by just making sure it’s straight haha

very helpful video. i setup however at the end the tail lights don't work when i switch on the indicators (i.e. for both left and right indicator only the left indicator works). do you think it is a problem with the 7 pin? i have 7 pin in both the car and the 927 model.

@CharlieRidesMTB

3 жыл бұрын

Hmmm I’m not great with electrics, but I’m guessing that would be the cause. Have you tried it on another car?

There is only 19 cm spacing between the bikes on the Thule 925. Competing carriers typically have 25 cm. How does the 925 do when mounting 2 bikes side by side ? Do the bikes touch each other ? Any tricks to stop that happening ?

@CharlieRidesMTB

I have mounted 2 170mm enduro bikes on here, one of the bikes even had a 29er front wheel, and they were fine. Just face them opposite ways and make sure the pedals don’t touch and you’re fine

Any idea if you can carry 2 x 29" MTB on the 2 bike Thuli carrier. Many people say its onlt good for 2 road bikes

good！

How can I trust that it locks on to the ball head well enough? How does the whole thing not tilt down due to forces?

@CharlieRidesMTB

You can adjust how tight it clamps on. Also, tow bars are designed to not allow these fittings to move past a certain point

Thanks great review, … thinking of buying this. Is yours still going well? I have a medium Specialises MTB hard tail with 29” wheels. The specs say it should fit, 🤞

Hey! Great review! Do you think its safe for carbon frame? I'll mount road bike and not sure where to clamp it. Downtube seems bigger/stronger than top tube. What would you pick? Top tube or downtube?

@CharlieRidesMTB

3 жыл бұрын

The carbon won’t crack under the pressure of the clamp, so I’d clamp it at the top tube as it will give the bike more stability. The clamps have soft rubber inside so it can’t scratch the carbon either. It’s completely safe for carbon id say!

Hi! I just bought the same model and it's all tight up but it rattles a bit! From left to right, maybe 1cm up and down... If I tighten it a bit more I can't attach it any more to the car. Is it normal maybe?

Don’t tighten it so much, do one click at a time until it’s fine

@CharlieRidesMTB

Definitely not normal. By the way, it is quite hard to push down when it’s the right size, do it until it feels like it won’t go on, then push the lever down very hard

does this lock onto any tow ball or is there a specific ball required?

I’m not sure. You can adjust the size of the ball it locks onto so I assume so

If your e-bike is 25kg, then remove the battery and it will be like 21,5 - so no problem to place there two like these. I had same issue with my Haibike ALLMTN 3.5 :)

@@CharlieRidesMTB Yes - do. I have been in touch with Thule directly. Believe it or not, you can actually get an allen key and remove the U shaped bar, and walk away with the bikes. It's not easy - as once the handwheels have been screwed in place, they are awkward to access - but it is doable. Good eh? 🤷‍♂️
