Roof bike rack THULE ProRide 598B black Review

The perfect mounting: remove and install in a matter of seconds on the WingBar Evo crossbars! Strong and safe bicycle to ride. A child's bike with wheels that are 16 inches or smaller can be installed. My son, who rides what is most likely the world's tiniest bike with 16 wheels, was able to go on the mount almost precisely. Although the front wheel is currently resting on the stop in its most extreme position, the strap is in excellent working order.

The best mounts, hold the bike tightly. A big plus is the denamometric clamp of the paw of the bicycle frame and on the clamps of the side bar, which excludes theft of the bicycle. I drove 130 km / h, with a sharp acceleration - no problems. In general, I advise!

Attention and caution are both required when transporting a bicycle on a roof. When driving, you will see that the center of gravity has moved upward as a result of the shift. Increased windage is also something that can be observed. In the corners, there is a greater roll. You have to drive in such a manner as to minimize lateral loads and keep the car from rocking; however, the reliability of the complete structure is not unlimited. You have to drive in such a way. Below are some advantages…

So, in sequence. A year ago I purchased these mounts. Launched in the spring, summer, and fall of 2022. They enjoy a winter balcony nap. This spring I observed rust stains on bike racks and rivets, as well as white patches that would not wash away. Curtains caught in the lock larvae at 2 mounts. Soil and dampness eventually made their way in, dooming the project. However, I was unable to swap out my current larvae since changing them requires purchasing an entire new set, which would cost me…

These bike racks, as opposed to bike racks on tow bars, have their own advantages, therefore I'm already taking the second one for the second bike. Always keep bike carriers and bicycles clean. Not heavy, simple to pull out and put back, and quick. Comparables made by other manufacturers are by no means close! The 591 series might be purchased for less money; the only changes are that the wheels are mounted on the lodgements diagonally.)

Ownership experience - 1 season. I like everything very much. Simple, secure. The bike is easy to put on and secure. The maximum speed that I developed was 130 km / h with a bicycle. At the same time, there is no feeling that there is a load on the roof. There is no whistle or hum. Doesn't wobble when cornering or braking. I am very satisfied with the purchase. Now I want a second one on the other side)))

Opened the box, everything is beautifully packed, all sorts of rubber bands, keys, etc. I had to open the instructions, because I saw the mount for the first time, looked through it and everything became clear and easy. Excellent reliable fasteners for both the bike and the mount itself to the crossbars. According to the instructions, the maximum speed is up to 130 km / h, I rode 140 with two bicycles - everything is fine!

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…

Definitely reliable fastening, high-quality performance, you need to finish it. Lodgements say they steal and the stubs fly off / steal. It was possible to finish the device, but unfortunately I found out about it too late. One plug fell off. I did not find it for sale separately. Stealing from a neighbor is not about me. I read that you can put on a super-clear or rivet. I wanted to sell on ebay with a discount, but they sell new ones for 8.5. In the end, I ride as is.

We recently became owners of mounts 598. I will say right away that we chose between 591 and 598, after reading literally 1 article, the choice became obvious for us (I will not describe the improvements, more literate people have already done this). The trunk (crossbars) installed wing bar evo gum under the "crosses", which does not need to be cut, made our choice unequivocal. Before that, we used evroride 943 on the towbar - great, but because of the change of the car (they didn’t want to put
