Damages the paint of your frame
I find it prickly to use and already after the first time using it, the paint on my new MTB was immediately damaged. Not recommended!
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Not suitable
All in all, too thick for the bike rack clamps. Using a soft cloth works better for me.

Don't hesitate if you want to buy the frame protector. Is well worth the money.
Used several times both for road bike and gravel bike. Should have bought frame protector much earlier so that damage on frame was prevented.

Protection costs money
The thing does what it is supposed to do, it protects the frame. This makes it feel safer and you have to pay for that. I doubt a cloth in between would have the same effect, it seems like a good-quality thing.

Worthless product
My first one star review on Mantel.com. What a lousy product. Bought two for my carbon bike to take it to our vacation spot. Came loose from the frame clamp twice during the trip and luckily the bike was attached to the wheel straps otherwise I could have written these off.

nonsensical thing...
nonsensical thing.... cloth or the like will also suffice. This thing slides once the tube is not round but oval.

Essential for protecting a carbon frame.
Seems well made, as you would expect from Thule. Good idea to protect a carbon frame from rubbing, scratching and compression.

Definitely a top solution
Absolutely a top solution for bikes with carbon frames. Seems an expensive solution but if you use it you will find out that it is well worth its money.

Excellent product
This small product is a brilliant idea. It’s much better to spend a few pounds on a carbon frame protector for a bike rack than it is to buy a new frame !!!

Ideal protection for carbon frame
This protector is easy to apply and offers your Thule clamp a lot of grip, much better and finer than the cloth I used to use for it. It also seems to distribute the pressure better. I can't verify that but have to take it for granted. Sounds logical. By the way, you never have to over-tighten the clamp anyway, a mistake many people make. Tightening it with care is sufficient. The most important thing is that the straps around the wheels are tight!
