Caratteristiche principali:

  • Vestibilità versatile: Designed to accommodate various bike frame geometries.
  • Facile regolazione: Features an adjustable design with no loose parts, simplifying installation and removal.
  • Contact Prevention: Utilizes a rubber spacer to create separation between potential contact points.
  • Fissaggio sicuro: Includes a sturdy strap to secure bikes together, further preventing movement and contact.
  • Uso multiuso: Suitable for transportation, parking, and storage scenarios.

Istruzioni di installazione

Follow these steps to properly install the Thule Bike Protector to ensure maximum protection for your bicycles.

  1. Identify Contact Points: Before placing bikes on a rack or in storage, identify areas where bike frames, handlebars, pedals, or other components might come into contact with each other.
  2. Position the Protector: Place the rubber spacer component of the Thule Bike Protector between the identified contact points. Ensure the spacer is firmly seated to create a buffer.
  3. Fissare con la cinghia: Wrap the integrated sturdy strap around the bike frames or components that need to be held together. Pull the strap taut and secure it to prevent movement. The strap should be tight enough to hold the bikes firmly but not so tight as to damage components.
  4. Verifica posizionamento: Once installed, gently shake the bikes to confirm that the protector is effectively separating them and that the strap is holding them securely. Adjust as necessary.
