M-Wave Seatpost Clamp with Rack Mounts

Product Information

Thule Insta Gater Pro is compatible with 20-29″ wheels and bike tires that are up to 5″ wide. The installation is easy and doesn’t require tools or drilling. Changes in vehicle design are making it less viable to carry cargo on the roof, too. Many SUVs have surprisingly low maximum roof load limits, as do cars with multiple sunroofs, which are becoming popular. And long gone are the days when gutters, or raised roof rails, meant that a set of roof bars would fit most vehicles. Now, when you change your car, a new set of model-specific bars is almost always required. The heavy-duty vinyl cover on the 3/4″ foam pad also means it can withstand bad weather conditions pretty well. You secure the bike to the tailgate pad by tying the adjustable hook and loop straps around the bike frame.

For most of us, our local bike shop will always come to the rescue for major repairs that require specialty tools or mechanic skills beyond our knowledge. But it doesn’t hurt to learn a few simple fixes or even to service your own bike to prevent small problems from becoming bigger (and more expensive) ones. And by working on your own bike, you not only save time and money, you also become more familiar with it and get to know how it works. style>
