The Thule Peloton Fork Mount Bike Tray

Thule's 517 Peloton Fork Mount Bike Carrier For Roof Racks
    The Thule 517 Peloton Roof Rack Mounted Bike Carrier is one of the more popular bike racks sold by Thule. This bike tray features a hard plastic head unit with one finger skewer adjustment, and it's compatible with disc brakes and suspension forks. The rear wheel tray is a super stiff double wall design for maximum strength and stability, and the sleek black finish looks great on any vehicle. Security for the Peloton is is accomplished with one Thule lock core, which is within easy reach from either side of the tray. When locked, the fork of the bike is locked to the skewer and it prevents anyone from taking the Peloton off the bar rack as well. (Lock cylinders do have to be purchased separately however.) A hex-key wrench is provided and is the only tool needed for installation. The Peloton will work on round, square, and Thule aero bars. For the aero bars, a Thule Xadapt kit is needed. Before you install this bad boy, decide whether the rear wheel strap needs to be in front of the rear mounting hardware or behind it. It all depends on how far apart your bars are from each other. Also, if you have a hatchback or wagon, be careful when opening the door. On some roof racks the hatch may hit the end of the tray. If this happens to you, you may be able to move your roof rack forward, or try mounting the tray facing the backwards.
