The Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps are designed as extra-long replacement straps for transporting very large fat bikes on compatible Thule bike carriers, specifically the Thule EasyFold and Thule EasyFold XT models. These straps ensure secure attachment of fat bike wheels during transport.
Product Overview
This image displays the two black Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps. Each strap features a ribbed surface for grip and a buckle mechanism at one end for secure fastening. These straps are longer than standard wheel straps to accommodate the wider tires of fat bikes.
- Material: Synthetic Rubber
- Ruvara: Nhema
- Huwandu: 2 straps per package
- Kuenderana: Designed for Thule EasyFold and Thule EasyFold XT bike carriers.
Installation Instructions
- Prepare the Bike Carrier: Ensure your Thule EasyFold or EasyFold XT bike carrier is properly mounted to your vehicle's hitch receiver and is in the upright, ready-to-load position.
- Remove Existing Straps (if applicable): If replacing shorter straps, carefully unthread and remove them from the wheel trays of your bike carrier.
- Insert New Straps: Thread the Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps through the designated slots on the wheel trays of your bike carrier. Ensure the ribbed side of the strap, which provides grip, is facing inward towards the wheel.
- Nzvimbo yebhasikoro: Place your fat bike onto the carrier, ensuring its wheels rest securely in the wheel trays.
- Chengetedza Mavhiri: Wrap each XXL strap around the fat bike tire. Thread the end of the strap through the buckle mechanism and pull it firmly to tighten. The strap should be snug against the tire, preventing any movement.
- Verify Security: After fastening both wheel straps, gently shake the bike to confirm it is securely held in place and there is no excessive movement.
Operating Instruction
Once installed, the Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps operate by a simple ratcheting and release mechanism. To secure a wheel, thread the strap through the buckle and pull until tight. To release, press the lever on the buckle and pull the strap free.
- Always ensure straps are clean and free of debris before use to maintain optimal grip and function.
- Do not overtighten the straps to avoid damage to the bike tire or wheel. Tighten only until the wheel is firmly secured.
- Regularly check strap tension during long journeys.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps.
- Kuchenesa: Clean straps with mild soap and water after use, especially if exposed to dirt, mud, or road salt. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
- Kuongorora: Periodically inspect straps for signs of wear, cuts, tears, or damage to the buckle mechanism. Replace any damaged straps immediately.
- Kuchengeta: Store straps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
