Product Information
Full details
The Thule 526010 Lockable Knob Set is designed for users of Thule rear-mounted bike carriers that feature frame holders. Its primary benefit is enabling you to securely lock your bikes to the carrier, providing added theft protection. A key consideration is that the toggle nuts are only effective when correctly attached to the holding arms and the arm itself is securely tightened.

FAQs
What is the Thule 526010 Lockable Knob set for?
This set includes two lockable knobs designed to secure bikes to compatible Thule rear-mounted bike carriers that have frame holders.
Will this work with any bike rack?
No, it is specifically designed for Thule rear-mounted bike carriers that feature frame holders. Compatibility with other brands or rack types is not guaranteed.
How do I know if my bike carrier is compatible?
Your Thule rear-mounted bike carrier must have frame holders that are designed to accept a locking mechanism like the one provided by the 526010 set.
Can I lock my bike wheels with this?
No, these lockable knobs are designed to secure the holding arm, which typically grips the bike's frame or down tube, not the wheels.
How many bikes can I secure with one set?
A set of two is typically intended for securing two locking points, which could be for one bike on a two-bike carrier, or one locking point per bike if your carrier supports it and you purchase additional sets.
What happens if my holding arm is not tightened?
The toggle nuts are only effective when attached to the holding arms and the holding arm is securely tightened. An untightened arm will not provide a secure locking point.
Is this a set of keys, or just knobs?
This product consists of lockable knobs that secure the holding arms. It is not a set of keys for separate cable or chain locks.
Troubleshooting
Knob does not lock securely
Ensure the holding arm is fully tightened around the bike frame. The toggle nut needs a secure point to engage with.
Knob seems loose
Verify that the toggle nut is correctly seated within the holding arm's locking mechanism. Re-tighten the holding arm and the knob.
Missing toggle nut
Check all packaging materials. If still missing, contact Thule customer support.
