...safely and securely. The Thule 575 is a perfect example of a product which does exactly what it's supposed to do, with very little fuss, and for incredibly reasonable value.

...are then secured by straps around the cradle which 'ratchet' into place with a hard pull. Different width down tubes are easily accommodated with the lever on the clamp able to be placed in two different positions, and turning it clockwise or anti-clockwise to screw in the gap narrower or wider.

He drove for Ferrari at the time, and the fact that he won, helped launch a business that spread all over the world immediately. Ferrari actually started fitting these wheels as standard!
