Thule 535SKR ThruRide Skewer Accessory Kit 9mm ThruRide Skewer Accessory Kit

I had broken off the key on my Thule bike rack skewer and was not able to get the broken key section out of the lock. The skewer still worked but I would not be able to lock the bike on the rack. So, I ordered a new skewer from Amazon vendor Outland USA. The skewer arrived shortly after. It was in an original sealed Thule package and was an exact replacement for the original skewer.

Work perfectly! Much better than the previous design. Allows for one hand operation.

All photos on thule website and and dealer that sells this part advertise it shown with a sleeve that you need to make this work with the thule thru ride. I have purchased this part twice now thinking maybe the first one was just missing the sleeve and had to return both. anything you search online says you need this part but without the sleeve the rest of the part is useless. Now i have a thule thru ride rack that I cannot fix a quick release bike set up to can anyone give me advice this is getting irritating dealers and thule are scratching there head not knowing what to do . Even on youtube when you search this part it is shown with a sleeve on it this is absolutely ridiculous,

Easy to install and lock.

These skewers worked great!

By far a horrible design, but you need it. I used to own a Yakima bike rack that had locks for the fork mounts but it was integrated with the mount. When it isn't gripping a fork, you can literally pull it apart and take it off, just wish it had full integration with the mount.

Easy to install and use. Like most bike rack systems for cars, $40 is a lot of money for something that is really very simple and frankly should come standard with a $200+ rack system.

Very well constructed

The key to the lock in not included!, never a reply for seller to try fixing problem. It a cost a litlle but it is useless
