Developed for heavy bikes, such as eBikes. It's also a great option if you have a fat bike. Its full length wheel trays makes it equally suitable for smaller bikes too. It's got a greater distance than usual between each bike making loading easier, especially if you've got electric bikes or chunky downhill forks. The upright isn't quite as large as many tow bar racks. As a result there are some very large bikes that won't fit in this rack (e.g. some full-suspension eMTBs where you cannot attach the bike arm lower down on the bike because of the battery or suspension). It's a decent rack and has a foot operated tilt function accessed from the front of the bike carrier, near the lights - this is a major plus point. The tilt mechanism allows you to open the tailgate without removing the bikes, which will always be useful. The lockable bike holding arms can easily be repositioned, when unlocked, so you won't have the common problem of finding that one holding arm is in the wrong place for the last bike, and all bikes have to be taken off and the holding arm repositioned before loading the bikes again. The AcuTight tightening knobs have a built-in torque limiter so will click when the right tension is reached. The VeloSpace 939 is supplied largely pre-assembled, and is suitable for all types of tow ball. When you place the rack on the tow ball it stabilizes itself, allowing you to position it correctly before pushing down the handle. There's a range of useful accessories available to ensure you get the most out of your bike rack - shown below. These include an optional loading ramp to make loading and unloading much easier. A transportation wheel accessory can be attached to the rack making it easier to transport to and from the car. You can even add an easily accessible cargo box (BackSpace XT cargo box no. 938300) to convert this bike carrier into an all-round load carrier, a good option if your roof is already taken up with other gear.

Deciding which bike carriers to buy is not always easy, especially as you may not have had experience of using bike carriers before. We hope that our buying guides provide useful guidance about which bike carrier 'strategy' will be most appropriate for your circumstances, as well as highlighting the best features of particular models. We also have troubleshooting FAQs - for example, some customers struggle at first to fit four bikes onto a tow ball carrier, and wonder whether a different carrier would allow the bikes to be spaced wider apart. (It won't, but we have some good tips which make bike fitting much easier.) Our bike carriers Exchange Scheme covers roof mounting and tow ball mounting bike carriers only. Rear door mounting / strap on carriers are not included, and nor are roof bars. It allows you to exchange within 90 days of invoice date. Most exchanges are for roof mounting upgrades, or are tow ball carriers with very basic tilting systems being exchanged for easy to use sliding / tilting carriers. These are the rules of the bike carriers Exchange Scheme:

Bike carriers with 7 pin plugs Wheel support bike carriers which are supplied with 7 pin plugs usually only include rear lights, brake lights and indicator lights, which is why they are often called ‘3 function lights’. Unusually, Thule bike carriers with 7 pin plugs also include a fog light; this works when plugged into 7 pin electrics, but it does not work when plugged into 13 pin electrics via an adapter. Bike carriers with 13 pin plugs Bike carriers which are supplied with 13 pin plugs include a fog light and reversing light, as well as rear lights, brake lights and indicator lights – which is why they are often called ‘5 function lights’. If these are plugged into 13 pin electrics then all 5 functions will work. If they are plugged into 7 pin electrics via an adapter then the fog light should work, but the reversing light on the bike carrier will not work. Please note These notes assume that your tow bar electrics have been wired correctly! Tow bar wiring in the digital age is much more complicated than it used to be when everything was analogue. Our experience is that if you are having lighting problems, e.g. a fog light does not work in 7 pin tow bar electrics, the problem is much more likely to be caused by the wiring, not by a dud bulb in the bike carrier. |
