Using this Thule rack is super easy. First, decide whether you want to mount it on the front or rear of your bike. The mounting system is very accessible, so just follow the simple steps to attach it securely. When you're not using it, you can quickly remove it. For a comfortable ride, adjust the deck and rails to get the best heel clearance. Remember, this rack can handle tyres up to 29 x 2.5” wide. When loading your items, make sure they're evenly distributed to keep the rack balanced. The rubberized grips are there to prevent the rack from sliding, but check them regularly to ensure they're in good condition. To maintain the rack, clean it with a mild soap and water after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the rack or the rubber grips. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust or other damage.
