Question:
What’s the best way to store this rack in the off-season? Can it stay in my shed through winter? I already bought it.

Expert Reply:
Yes indeed, Paul. Fold the Epos 3 bike rack # TH34FR44SR into its compact “suitcase” position and keep it indoors when possible. If you want to keep dust and moisture off the built-in wiring, the Thule storage bag # TH56XE is made for that - padded on all sides and cut out for the wheels so you can still roll it into tight spaces.
Do you have the street legal lighted version like this one? The bag’s padding really helps protect those lenses through winter.
