C-Clamp Design Stability for Rooftop s
-------------------------------------------
The Criterium Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier is specially
designed to deliver a precise hold on your bike, and in doing so
providing a more stable ride for your vehicle during transport.
The Criterium comes nearly entirely assembled, fits all Thule
rack systems, as well as other round bars, is compatible with the
Thule Aero profile with an additional adapter (sold separately)
and most bikes with disc brakes. The key factors in the stability
that the Criterium provides is the combination of its sturdy
wheel tray which holds your bike wheels, the two cinchable wheel
straps that quickly secure the wheels to the tray and the
advanced central "frame-hold" support element which contains
patented C-Clamp technology at its tip.
C-Clamp technology clamps onto your frame at the turn of a knob.

provide even more stability.

Carrier sits at the end of a heavy-duty adjustable arm support
that is raised from an inline position along the edge of the
wheel tray and secured with a hex wrench at the angle that you
choose best positions the C-Clamp to access the bike frame. The
C-Clamp immobilizes your bike using an integrated dial that
gently grips and holds the bike frame to achieve superior
stability. To tighten the hold of the clamp simply rotate the
integrated knob at the base of the arm support. To release the
clamp's hold altogether press the release jaw button. Once the
support element for the C-Clamp is set in a semi-permanent
orientation for a specific bike or frame size, attaching or
removing a bike can easily be done very quickly. The Criterium
Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier comes assembled for use on the
passenger side, but can be reconfigured for use on the drivers
side. It is also compatible with the One-Key lock cylinder system
(sold separately), which locks the bike to carrier and carrier to
rack.

About Thule
-----------
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric
Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a
pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't
long before he added other practical items to the company's
portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on
car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin
family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979,
and it has continued to grow both ally and through
acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in
providing transport solutions for an active life.
