    Small Parts That Make a Big Difference

    Wheel straps and frame adapters solve two of the most common rack headaches. Saris and Thule wheel straps keep tires from swaying during transport, while a frame adapter, like the Thule Frame Adapter, lets a hanging-style rack carry a bike with a sloped or step-through frame. For hitch racks that extend past your rear bumper, a light and license plate kit, such as the Thule Light and License Plate Kit or Saris MHS Lighting Kit, keeps your plate visible and your brake lights working so other drivers can see you.

    Key Features to Look For

    • Wheel Security Saris Wheel Straps and Thule XXL Fatbike Wheel Straps keep tires from shifting side to side while you drive.

    • Frame Compatibility A frame adapter, like the Thule Frame Adapter, lets hanging-style racks carry bikes with sloped top tubes or step-through frames.

    • Visibility and Lighting Light kits such as the Thule Epos Lamp Kit or Kuat ION Light Kit keep your license plate and brake lights visible when a rack blocks your rear bumper.

    • Locking Hardware A Thule Snug-Tite Hitch Rack Lock or Kuat Transfer Cable Lock adds theft protection to a hitch-mounted setup.
