Hi ! This looks like a perfect fit / solution for me.
Could you let me know the size Fiamma you used for the longer top arm ? Eg is it a Fiamma Bike Block Pro 4, 3 or 2 ?

Hi, it is the Bike Block Pro 3 I use for the second bike, the ends are tight but they do rotate for you to get the correct angle. Bought from Towsure about £23.

Thanks so much for the advice. I have some on order. Now just wandering the best way to add a lock…

Looking forward to hear from this, I also have easyfold. Great rack, but only annoying thing about it are the clamps.

I’ve made another thread for the Rail.

Transporting the Trek Rail

Hi all, I was researching ways to safely transport the Trek Rail on my car whilst still protecting the carbon frame. I came across a thread about transporting the Specialized Turbo Levo so I thought I’d make one for the Rail too. I think I’ve settled on a nice solution which works with my Thule...

I like the look of this rack as it has the support bar in the middle so you don't have the arm weaving issue. Has anyone tried it? E-Rack 2 Pro - Tow Ball Mounted E Bike Rack

Looks similar to Inter Pack Spider 2E that I use. Far from Thule quality I got used to, but does the job.

Hey! I have a similar setup with Thule EasyFold. Turbo Levo 2022 is quite big, so it's good you're using second bike spot. For the front wheel issue, try to extend the straps, sometimes lowering the bike slightly helps too.

As a side note, you could try adding extra mounts or mix straps. Also, check if Thule has any accessories for bigger e-bikes. Look it up on their website.:)

I'm waiting for some deals to get the Epos. Is the loading ramp necessary? Do you have some of the other accessories?

Hi, Thule is very restrictive with supplying their dealers, including preferred sellers being supplied first / exclusively on new items. Bargains seem to be rare.

I have the old mens ramp because I managed to got stuck with pedal under number plate holder twice when lifting the bike onto the rack and nearly broke the holder. Simply stood to close to the rack
Since the telescopic arm is close to the wheel base you need to pay attention with the pedal that might hit the arm when pushing the bike onto the rack by ramp and pedal is in forward position.
Its foldable and easy to stow in the rack or just thrown in the trunk.
Like the rack it is overpriced but very helpful (to me).

Got also the repair holder but did try it just once for a test. It is not very stable in holding a ebike. Could use it for some maintenance at a parking lot but hey, I do that at home. Also overpriced, imho.

Interesting could be the cable lock but Thule is not offering single key system, like eg BMW does on their motorbikes for bike and their aftermarket boxes.

Quality wise Thule could improve on better/bigger keys and less akward lock handling.

Usually November brings some black week Friday/week/months discounts, so maybe some shops will have a discount.
From the accessories I would consider the cover bag (as the thing would be stored on my balcony) and that's about it. I thought about the lock, but the arms themselves have locks, so why bother?
