Instalación
The Thule 52590 Wheelstrap Attachment is a replacement or accessory part designed for compatible Thule VeloCompact bike carriers. Ensure your carrier model is compatible before proceeding.
- Locate the existing wheel tray on your Thule VeloCompact bike carrier where the left wheelstrap is to be installed or replaced.
- If replacing an old strap, carefully remove the old wheelstrap from its mounting points.
- Position the new Thule 52590 Wheelstrap Attachment. Ensure the buckle mechanism is oriented correctly for easy access and proper function.
- Secure the attachment by sliding it into the designated slots or fastening it according to your specific VeloCompact carrier model's instructions. Ensure a secure fit without any looseness.
- Test the strap's functionality by inserting and tightening it to confirm the ratchet mechanism engages correctly.
Operación
Follow these steps to properly secure a bicycle wheel using the Thule 52590 Wheelstrap Attachment:
