Hi just going to look at a Thule 9502 a bit later on gumtree. Just wondering on the max tyre width ? Will they take 2.35 Magic marys or 2.6 nobby nics ?
Many thanks

It’ll take a 2.35 ok but a 2.6 won’t fit in the plastic tyre holders. Do the tyre straps up tight and they should hold ok. Maybe.
I have a 9503 (just the three bike version) it will take the 2.35s but not the 2.6 from Schwalbe, will take the 2.5 from Maxxis, but mainly cos its not 2.5...
I found I was splitting wheel holders and having to buy new ones every 5/6 months, this was because my 29ers wheelbase is longer than the rack was built for, the front wheel then pivots where its strapped and cracks it, I got round this by buying another set of straps and placing a second one on the front wheel to reduce the pivot which means I now buy extra wheel holders maybe yearly. There only £5 a pop online though.
Friends have the buzzrack scorpion, has really wide tyre holders. Maybe see if any of those are available second hand, although heavier, I would say they are a better rack.
