This smart bike carrier is a pleasure to use and takes up to 4 bikes (with the 4th bike adapter listed below). It's easy to lift it onto the tow ball and then push down the single lever to lock it into place. Minimal adjustment may be required first time out to get a firm grip on the tow ball. Tilting is an easy one person operation using a foot pedal positioned at the front of the carrier. The VeloCompact should fit all tow balls. To fit this carrier you need a clear 65mm between the centre of the tow ball and the bumper. Please check this measurement before ordering. It makes sense when using this carrier to place a safety strap around all the bikes and the bike holder support frame. Why? The bike holders sometimes only grip around the top (or bottom) and sides of the bike frame, especially on irregular shaped frames, so there's the potential for the bike holder to jump off or fall off the frame, e.g when travelling over bumpy roads or speed bumps. We're therefore providing a free strap with each carrier - one strap per carrier! As well as providing peace of mind the strap will also help to minimise vibration.

Made in Poland. The Thule plastic-headed premium keys we sell are genuine Thule spare parts, compatible with Thule roof bars, roof boxes, bike racks, and all other accessories which are part of Thule’s One Key System. These keys have an ergonomically-shaped plastic head, larger than a flat steel key and easier to grip and turn, especially in wet conditions, or when wearing gloves. Keys are numbered from 1 to 250. We refer to all these keys as premium keys, as opposed to steel keys, to keep things simple. The keys numbered from N001 to N200 inclusive are sometimes referred to as Comfort keys, and the keys from N201 to N250 are sometimes called Premium keys. The shape of the plastic handle is different for each range - as shown in the images. Select your Thule key number from the dropdown. What to do if you have lost your Thule keys If you have lost your keys – which every year happens to huge numbers of our customers! – then your options are either Easy or Difficult. Easy: If the lock number of your Thule product is stamped on the face of the barrel, order the keys. Easy: If the lock number is NOT stamped on the face of the barrel, and all relevant Thule products are unlocked, you need to order a Master Key, used for removing unlocked lock barrels. At the same time you should also order however many replacement lock barrels you need, and at least two replacement keys. Difficult: If the lock number is NOT stamped on the face of the barrel, and any of your relevant Thule products are LOCKED, you have a significant problem. There are 50 key options. You can buy 50 different keys from us, numbers 201 to 250 inclusive, or you can visit your nearest Thule reseller who, so we are informed, keeps a full set of keys. See here [link to be added soon] for a list of Thule resellers who might be able to help, organised by postcode, phone numbers included. If you buy 50 keys from us then you will want to return 49 of them and buy at least one spare key. No problem, we will refund these at the price you paid for them, less a charge of £25 as a contribution to the labour costs of entering 49 returned keys into our accounting system and putting 49 keys back into their individual storage boxes. The cost and risks of returning the keys to us are yours – we recommend that you use a signed-for delivery service. Note that we have a database where our customers can record their key numbers and look them up later; see roofbox.co.uk/keysafe. Here are some other ideas for keeping control of keys and a record of key numbers:
The latest generation of Thule products does not have the lock number recorded anywhere on the lock barrels; somebody evidently decided that this is a good idea!

Manufactured to Thule’s exacting standards, they provide long-lasting reliability and peace of mind.
