Hey Bruce!

Each bike rack ramp, like the Thule Foldable Loading Ramp # TH43VA you referenced, has a unique way to connect to the bike racks it was built for. This ramp is made to fit with the Thule EasyFold XT and the Epos so it will only work with them.

If you can tell me what bike rack you have I can see if there is a ramp made for it, or see if there is an alternative rack and ramp available that has the same features as what you currently have.

Hi Jon, I have a Hollywood Sport Rider SE hitch mount rack. Otherwise I'm thinking I could modify the Thule folding ramp. I like the fold up aspect of it. Thanks

@BruceG In that case you might consider going with the Loading Ramp for Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack # IN52RR instead because it has hooks on the end that I think you'll have an easier time getting to work with the Sport Rider SE than the way the Thule ramp connects. I haven't tested it out, but it looks like it would work better.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
