Recommendation for a 50mm Ball to Use with European Thule Bike Rack
Question:
I have a Thule Easyfold XT 933 bike rack. It’s new from Europe. I’m having a hard time finding out what size ball it takes. I think it’s 50mm. I know the European trailer hitches use a 50mm ball hitch. Do you know if this will work? Thanks for the help.

Expert Reply:
The 50mm ball size is probably the most common across the pond so I am certain your European EasyFold fits that size. The US version, # TH903202, just fits into a 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitch receiver so the 50mm ball doesn't come up much. For a 50mm ball I recommend # 63912 since it costs a little less than the Brophy but you could use # EH53C-C as well.
