Thule Low-Rider Pro – Truck Bed Bike Carrier

I am a MTB newbie (FOX ThirtyFour fork) but I believe only this new version works for a MTB with wider (110 or 115 mm) BOOST wheel hubs with thicker (15mm) diameter axle. You will need one set of the supplied plastic spacer inserts and use your existing threaded thru-axle – not the supplied quick release “skewer” which will be too short. I believe the older, still available or used, fork block will only work for road bikes (typically 9mm dia axle by 100mm wide fork drop-outs)? Just to be clear, this new version should work fine for road bikes. For now, i mounted the fork block to a bed-width long 2×6 and wrap front wheel in HF furniture blanket. Fits in covered 6.5 ft box; 5.5ft might be too tight – bike has to be closely in-line with the block & forks depending on angle of your headset. FWIW Insert a spacer (two business cards commonly suggested or disposable spacer from a bike shop) between the brake pads because squeezing brake lever can expand calipers and prevent re-insertion of the rotor – requiring pad removal to rectify. Enjoy the ride.
