User questions & answers

Question:	Does the hold women’s bike without middle bar
Answer:	It's listed as 27.25 oz's
Question:	is there a protective cover that works well with this style rack (2 bikes
Answer:	It's not really a straightforward answer. The correct length depends on a couple of things: Sit Inside or Sit On top Kayak. Is your paddling style going to be shallow or deeper? I recall when I first started paddling I Googled for the information for which length would be correct for me. That would be my recommendation. Try https://www.bendingbranches.com/sizing/kayak-paddle or https://paddling.com/learn/kayak-paddle-length-how-to-pick-the-right-size/
Question:	Can rack be locked to vehicle
Answer:	I have the trophy charcoal color, so can't really answer your question for sure. But, I'm pretty sure that no matter which color you choose, both blades of the paddle will match each other. You won't get one blade that is citrus and the other blade blue with a white star. They will both be the same. Also, don't expect the blades to be brightly colored on both sides. The blades are semi-transparent, so on front they are nice and colorful, but on he back side, they are more muted with the colors from the front showing through to the back. They are really nice paddle and once you try them on the water, you'll be glad you bought them.
Question:	Does this fit Honda Odyssey van
Answer:	It is 4mm.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work for a 2.5 inch hitch that has a 2.5 to 2 inch converter
Answer:	Hi Timm. The Harmony Sea Passage paddle blade is not long and thin like the Artic Passage was, the Sea Passage is shorter and wider and capable of being used with a slightly more aggressive angle of entry as well as casual low angle paddling. The precise blade dimensions of the Sea Passage are 17" long by 7" wide.

Question:	Can this fold up on a wrangler with a spare tire
Answer:	Yes it does. Good paddle for the price
Question:	What is the difference in the thule t2 pro and this the thule t2 pro xt other than color options
Answer:	Not sure what you call hand grips. There are rubbers that prevents water from getting you all wet on the paddles. You just hold the paddle with your hands and paddle behind the rubber part.

Thule's Prologue Bike Mount provides an affordable and safe way to transport your bike to trailheads close by and further afield so you can save your extra cash for your next two-wheeled toy.

Thule kept aerodynamics in mind when designing the carrier, aiming to minimize drag as much as possible, and made it compatible with bikes with up to a 48-inch wheelbase. If you're running Plus tires on your bike, you'll want to swap them out for something 2. 6in or narrower to use the Prologue, but disc brakes and different suspension combinations, as long as they're using a standard 9mm axle, can all be accommodated.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this fit most mountain bikes? Or do you need adapter
Answer:	I believe that the lock barrels are all the same size. The tumbler in the lock is set by the key number on the tumbler
Question:	hi, where are these made in? thanks
Answer:	I believe that all the lock dimensions are universal, the lock number just distinguishes the key required. If thats true than theoretically you could purchase any Thule lock and replace it as long as it come with the key.
Question:	Whats the difference between the prologue and prologue xt
Answer:	Your rack came with 2 keys, one is your normal use key that you use to lock and unlock the lock. The other key was a master key, that removes the lock cylinder. Hopefully you still have it!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this frame adapter cross-bar lock in place to a specified length? Yes, it can telescope to find a length, but can it lock to that length
Answer:	Thanks for checking with Thule. Yes, if you use the 982XT Thule Frame adapter, will work. The bars are positioned close enough together to fit the juvenile or kids bikes.
Question:	The gate does not sit flush with the collar when supporting the seat end of the bike by about an 1/8". Is the frame adapter still working properly
Answer:	I will attempt an answer. The insertion into the hitch allows a latch mechanism to go into the security hole on the hitch. Then you use the knob dial to tighten the bike rack into the two inch hitch. Once it is very tight, the dial itself has a key lock which once locked makes the dial turn freely without loosening the hitch, thereby making it secure. It seems adequate to me, though obviously a dedicated thief with a hacksaw could cut the latch bar itself.
Question:	Will it work with sixthreezero evryjourney women's bike
Answer:	The updated cradle and strap design should make those parts last much longer.
Question:	how large are the seat post clamp?my wife"s bike seat post is 3/4" or 1" diameter
Answer:	This rack is a suspension rack - so there would be no measurement needed for wheels.
