A torque limiter accessory for rear mounted bike carriers with frame holders – replacing the standard knob.
The genius of the AcuTight Locking Knob lies in its precision-engineered functionality. It provides both a secure mount for your bicycle and an essential layer of protection against accidental damage from over-tightening. This makes it an indispensable upgrade for any Thule rear-mounted bike carrier, ensuring your investment is safe on the road, whether you´re heading to a local trail or embarking on a cross-country adventure. The ergonomic design ensures that using the knob is comfortable and effortless, even in challenging weather conditions.
Features:
* Integrated Torque Limiter: The Thule AcuTight knob has a built in torque limiter that “clicks” when optimal hold is reached indicating correct mounting. This audible feedback system completely removes the uncertainty of how tight is “tight enough.”
* Sensitive Frame Protection: The controlled torque going into the bike frame improves the protection for sensitive bike frames. It prevents crushing or stress damage, a common concern for owners of high-performance carbon, aluminum, and thin-walled steel bikes.
* Ergonomic Handling: Designed with ergonomic soft grips, the knob is comfortable and easy to turn, providing a secure hold for effortless tightening and loosening.
* Enhanced Security: The knob is lockable with the Thule One-Key system (lock NOT included). This allows you to secure your bike to the carrier, adding a powerful anti-theft deterrent for when you need to leave your vehicle unattended.
* Universal Thule Compatibility: The Thule AcuTight knob fits all Thule rear mounted bike carriers with frame holders, making it a versatile and essential upgrade for a wide range of Thule users.
