Securing My Front Wheel Of My Bike When Transporting It On A Thule Helium Pro 2 Hanging Bike Rack
Question:
2021 Tesla Model 3. First, I own a Kuat Transfer v2, and it interferes with the sensors on the rear of the vehicle. So, Im considering this rack. Ive owned this type of rack before and found securing the front wheel from floating all over the place is an issue. Is this rack different in that respect? I do like the weight of the rack, 18lbs.

The Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum, part # TH9042PRO, is a hanging bike rack that secures the bikes at three points, the front and rear end of the top tube and the seat tube. The front wheel and handlebars of the bike are not secure. You could secure the wheel to the mast of the Thule Helium with a strap to keep the wheels from spinning. Do keep in mind this hitch bike rack has a weight limit of 37.5 lbs per bike.
