CURT Tray-Style Bike Rack Locking Knobs #18090

CURT Tray-Style Bike Rack Locking Knobs #18090

Original knob that comes on the  CURT tray-style racks #18086 and #18084 

This is the original set of knobs the rack comes with but can easily be replaced with locking ones.

These locking knobs #18090,  increase the security of your bicycle while attached to the rack. Two knobs and keys come with the kit. 

The Curt tray-style bike racks, both the #18086 and the #18084 can benefit with added security from using locking knobs #18090. (CURT tray-style hitch-mounted bike rack #18086, which holds up to four bikes or the CURT tray-style hitch-mounted bike rack #18084 which can hold up to two bicycles.)  The set of two locking knobs both use the same key. I have set up my #18086 using a locking knob on the tallest of the two supports that securely hold down the top tube of each bike. With the knobs being used like this, it will be more difficult for a would be thief to push the lower support upwards, high enough to take the smaller bike out, if that makes sense. The locking knobs easily replace the knobs that come on the rack to begin with. With the locking knob installed, simply turn in the key in the lock, after tightening it down. After locking the knob, the knob will still spin, both ways, yet will not loosen. I guess you could spin it all day, but the knob will not loosen up, until the key is inserted once again and the lock is unlocked.  The locking knobs come with two keys.  I like this set up because you don't have to carry a lock and cable and run it through the frame or wheels. The top tube of the bike is locked down, its not going anywhere. 

CapsuleCase

Having smaller items, dollar bills, debit cards I have found a way to keep them grouped together and protected while riding in my jersey pocket.  The Capsul Case is the answer. Not only debit cards and loose change but also my car key and fob. The latch on top keeps the CapsulCase closed. When the CapsulCase is in my cycling jersey pocket, I know my belongings are in one place. When I get home, I take the keys out and use it like a regular wallet, keeping bills and cards (drivers license, debit cards, etc.) inside. It weighs a super light 25 grams and can hold up to 12 plastic money cards and it could even be used to hold business cards. The two hinged, single piece of 100% polypropylene is extremely durable. The CapsulCase is not water proof, so items inside will get wet if submerged, but the case can get wet and still be fine. 

Holds my key (attached to key fob) a few plastic money cards and some paper money too. 

The CapsulCase is offered in seven different colors.
