Reviews over the

Thule VeloCompact 3 926

the carrier is handy in attaching to towbar and attaching the bikes, some puzzling how to place the bikes as the places are quite tight in terms of width. had expected 4th gutter and attachment to be present in box.

Pros & Cons

Used a few times, fine carrier. Bikes easy to fit. First mounting on the towbar was laborious, had to keep trying quietly for this, could also be due to the new towbar.

Pros & Cons

Used several times for triathlon

There's no doubt about it, the bike carrier and its components are robust and of good quality. And that's reflected in the weight. There's nothing on top of nothing. That makes the whole thing very secure, apart from the risk of incorrectly fitting the bikes and their hooking system, which can be a little complicated for the uninformed. Read the instructions carefully! For bikes with a thick frame, such as a VAE, it is very important to orientate the clamps and their tightening properly. The system is ingenious, but it may take the user a little time to adapt and understand. The notched straps are sometimes capricious when tightened and released. I particularly liked - the tightening system on the hitch - the integrated bike carrier locking system - the wheel-rest slide system to fit wide 29-inch wheelbases I'd particularly like to comment on - the clamp system, which doesn't adapt well to thick frames such as VAEs

I have now used the bike carrier once. In itself, it all feels okay, but the carrier is difficult to click onto the tow bar (Mantel was a great help, by the way). City bikes are also more difficult to attach, but I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it. The product does feel very solid, but it is not really compact.

Pros & Cons

Easy assembly and your bike securely on carrier. The bike carrier is only heavy 19 kg

Pros & Cons

Fine Thule bike carrier. Sits well on the tow bar and feels sturdy. Only downside: A little awkward when lugging it around. Ordering process went fine until I wanted to pay by credit card, which didn't work right away (got stuck). Only after a few times the payment went through. I will probably order here again, but hope the payment process runs better then.
