Review on Roof bike rack THULE ProRide 598B black by Adam Konowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Excellent mount. Very comfortable and soft holder for the frame with a "new" mount. Already passing by someone or in the wind to the left, it is believed that the bike will not fly out. Flip from left to right side with instructions and one screwdriver: a matter of 2 minutes for the first time and a few seconds later. At the same time, nothing sticks out forward, unlike the previous model - it is aerodynamic. On the highway gave 120 - can not be heard. No lead, no mounts. Living creatures are stuffed between the front fastener and the arc, which is logical. But it is easily taken out by the "Karcher", especially if you made a hole in the arc gasket, and did not screw the arc onto the aluminum. I’m attaching a photo with a small bike on “16. Having a little shaking with wheel fasteners for the convenience of tightening (and with due imagination you can drive them to your heart’s content). I had to fasten such a small bike to the frame by pulling up the lock and leading it forward . I think that on "12 and" 14 they will already get up with problems, especially if there is an upper cross member on the frame. But it will still be difficult to achieve 90 degrees. This is me to the fact that someone asked if the child would get up on the bike at "20. Easy =)))

Pros
  • Lightweight, convenient - versatile, easy to install and replace the mounting side. There are nice elastic bands for pressing the wheel rim to the mount. The porous rubber band gently wraps around the bike frame. Suitable for mounting bikes with "fat" wheels.
Cons
  • When removing / fixing, the plastic will sooner or later push through at the corners of the mounts. Easily removable parts for wheels and plugs. You can take it off just passing by . When it's idle in the yard, you have to shoot everything in the trunk (I'm talking about plastic things). It would be cool to add a lock for each clamp, because. the same thing - to twist 2 out of three is a matter of a minute. Especially if you are the owner of the same . xD
