Thule 599XTR Product reviews
Thule 599XTR Review by Jason W. Fudge (San Diego, Ca)
I've had this on my car now for about a year. It's little stiff now to open/close. I usually have to grab the clamp part and open it myself. Take it, in the last year I've traveled about 30,000 miles on my car and rarley wash it, so that might be the case too. I also have a 29er and it fits it just right.
It's nice to be the guy that has his bike off the car the first before the ride and on the car first afterwards. I'm not a big fan of the racks where you have to take off a tire.
Thule 599XTR Review by The Thompsons (Colorado)
Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier If you are considering buying this Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Rack, as I did... be aware that this bike rack DOES have a place for ONE lock cylinder that locks the "arm" onto your bike frame when it is mounted in the rack, if you would like a bit more security from thieves. You can buy a pack of locks which all use a single set of keys, depending on if you are buying/using more than one rack (as I am). The lock cylinders that you can buy separately are available in the following:
Sold in the following sets:
* 2 Pack (Thule 512)
* 4 Pack (Thule 544)
* 6 Pack (Thule 596)
* 8 Pack (Thule 588)
* 10 Pack (Thule 510)
* All lock packs come with two keys
"You can choose how many locks you need and have one key for all of your carriers! When purchasing lock cores for your vehicle, it's best to forward think about what other types of Thule accessories you may wish to purchase in the future, so that you can have all of your Thule core lock accessories keyed alike."
Thule 599XTR Review by McBrew
Warning: If you have the Thule Aero load bars or VW factory roof bars (the thick, aluminum ones), you will NEED the Thule Xadapt2 kit to attach this bike rack to your car. You'll want to order the kit when you order your Bigmouth rack, because you won't be able to find the Xadapt2 locally -- trust me!
I wanted a good quality rack, but didn't want to spend more than my bikes cost on them. I read enough reviews that I was sold on the Bigmouth. I really didn't want a fork mount, because I drive a subcompact car, and didn't want to have to carry the front wheels inside the car. I had a hitch-mount bike rack, but it was pretty cheap, and the bikes and car were getting scratched as they moved. Also, I frequently tow a small trailer, and I couldn't use the hitch rack and tow at the same time.
Once I got the Xadapt2 kits to allow me to attach the racks to by Aero roof bars, they went on easily. It is actually easier to get the bikes on and off of the roof rack than it was on the hitch rack. Mainly because I dodn't need to use bungees and straps to try to secure them.
The bikes seem very secure up there. The Bigmouth clamp makes it easy, because it is spring loaded and "wants" to grab the bike frame. Once it grabs the bike, you can let go and the bike will stay upright. Just pull down and close the clamp lever, then tighten the wheel straps. Super quick and easy!
