The Thule 517 - Peloton fork mount bike rack is Thule's number one best selling fork mount.  More riders in the peloton trust the Peloton to get their bike to a ride than any other Thule bike mount.  It's popular for good reasons, it's tough, streamline and dependable.  Not content to use a traditional quick release lever, Thule engineers set out to create a fork clamping design which is easier to adjust, more streamline and strong.  Thule succeeded with the Peloton, it has a user friendly adjustment dial under the clamping head.  The head is sleek and aerodynamic with no skewer protruding or dangling out to the side. 

The head unit is tough glass reinforced nylon construction.  The head unit extends backward and narrows to accommodate forks with disk brake calipers.  The clamping mechanism works on all standard fork types including those with wide collars found on some mountain bike forks.  Some forks may require adapters such as those with through axles.  The head of the Peloton is lockable and is part of Thule's Same Key System, lock cylinders are sold separately.  When the head is locked, the bike's forks are locked to the carrier and the carrier is locked to the cross bar for overall security, don't forget to lock the roof rack too. 

The rear wheel tray on the Peloton is stiff extruded aluminum which is black finished to resist corrosion.  The rear wheel is held tight in the tray with an easy to use ratcheting strap that holds narrow road bike tires as well as mountain bike tires up to 2.3 inches wide.  The hardware included with the Peloton will attach to the T-slot of the Thule AeroBlade on both the front and rear bar.
