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 it handle the heavy electric bikes
Answer:	Sorry, don’t know about canoe paddles.
Question:	I understand that this is for a 2" hitch. No question there. However what isn't clear of if this add-on fit with attaching to the t2 pro xt 1.5" base
Answer:	Yes! That's the short answer. The longer answer is that while you can use this paddle float with a greenland style paddle, the float may tend to slip off the end of the paddle since here isn't much of a swell in the paddle blade to hold the float on. I believe it's worth a try. I haven't actually use a paddle float with a Greenland style paddle, but I think that it might work better than some of us expect.
Question:	Does this add on work with the t2 pro? the non xt one
Answer:	It depends on how much you way. A lite person can self rescue with enough volume in one chamber but a heavy person would probably need both chambers inflated to assist in the self rescue.
Question:	In nov. 2016, i purchased the thule 9034 t2 pro on amazon. will this two bike add on work with it? if not, which thule add-on will
Answer:	This is not the small diameter. Not sure if I can get an accurate measurement without a micrometer. But its like a regular paddle--just bent for wrist comfort.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the pin size
Answer:	Don't know but make sure you are inserting into a 2" hitch..... think they are all the same size.
Question:	how do you put a womens bike on this rack
Answer:	Our bike rack is black.
Question:	What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack? I've never used a hitch rack before
Answer:	the lowest point at the back of the rack is 4.75 inches higher than the bottom of the tube that goes into the car hitch
Question:	What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms
Answer:	None of our racks are approved for use on a trailer mounted receiver hitch. Any trailer or trailered vehicle (including 5th wheel type) has a slight side to side motion that's very low frequency (1 to 1-1/2 times per second) that fatigues the steel from which the racks are manufactured. The fatigue first happens at a molecular level, but eventually (several thousands of cycles later) a visible crack will appear. Once the crack has formed, it will enlarge, finally to the point where the rack drops off the vehicle and the rack (and bikes) impact the roadway. This is also a dangerous situation for whoever may be following the trailer on the highway. We have seen 100+ incidents where the consumers/end user has not taken this advice and suffered disastrous results. I've even had phone calls from consumers who said they read that advice (do not use on a trailer) and ignored it, only to discover a tragic end result. So . . . don't do it. If you insist on doing it regardless of the above, please use some other companies’ rack.

About Allen Sports

Richard Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle-related products on the market. Allen, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first-ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding) was refined on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.

Today, the family-owned company owns more than three dozen patents, operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this withstand toppling over by a toddler who likes to topple things over? Planning to use it for 1 road bike
Answer:	it fit up to mountain bike size tires any larger thule sells an adapter
Question:	Is there an alternative/creative way you can tighten the rack arms to the vertical posts without marring the paint and creating indentations? This seems like a pretty poor design for $150.00. I see a lot of folks have indicated that the screws mar and remove the paint and leave indentations in the rack? Could you screw
Answer:	YES!
Question:	Are there any cover which fits bikes mounted on the rack or to cover rack with bikes together
Answer:	I have this rack and 27" wheels and it works fine. It is very adjustable and will take most any size wheel.
Question:	Is it truly "free standing?" All the pics show it up against a wall. I'd like to place it free standing (away from any walls) in my garage
Answer:	You will need to get the Thule locks sold separately. But there is one to lock to the roof rack and one to lock the arm holding the bike.
