How Long is the Integrated Locking Cable on the Thule Apex XT 4
Question:
How long is the integrated locking cable? We will have to use at least one frame adapter and want to ensure the cable will be long enough to route through the frame, not just the adapters. Thanks!

The lock on the Thule Apex XT4 # TH9025XT is going to be approximately 36" long and runs from the mast of the rack to the front of one of the bars, where it is locked into place. I've seen these used with many adapter bars, but I can understand your concern that it won't be long enough to run under the frames of the bikes. For that reason you may want to instead use an extra long cable lock like the Malone LockUp Cable Lock # MPG357 which is 10 feet long and will allow you to secure all of the bikes on the rack together for an added layer of security.
