Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier

Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier
- This item was purchased, because I already have 1 Thule upright bike carrier and like it. It is an older style, but similar. The thing that I like about the upright roof carriers is that if someone hits your car from behind, your bikes are not destoyed too. Also, the upright ones are secure and "stay" there, and the front wheels do not have to be taken off and reconnected and brakes readjusted. A lot of bother if wanted to just take the bikes off and ride. I do have to have a little stool to reach my Jeep roof, but it is claspable and stores in my Thule carrier box. So, yes, the Thule box and 2 upright bike carriers fit on a Jeep Cherokee.

- The upright bike carrier that set the standard for bike carrying flexibility and ease of use


- The Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier sets the standard for bike carrying flexibility and ease of use. The 599XTR is an updated version of Thule's 599XT, but still requires the Xadapt2 to be used with an Aero bar.

The easy-to-mount Thule Big Mouth Upright has a convenient, rack-level bike clamping feature, and worry-free, automatic self-adjusting jaws for perfect bike clamping every time. The Thule Big Mouth accommodates bike frames up to 3.125-inches in diameter, fits both Thule and Yakima load bars, and features a dual-locking design that simultaneously locks the bike to the carrier and the carrier to the rack. This bicycle carrier system is constructed with a black anodized aluminum wheel tray that is built to last, and can be customized with 790 Tray skins. The 599XTR weighs 10.5 pounds in total, and is compatible with the Thule One-Key System (not included), and can be locked securely with a single lock cylinder.

 "Excellent product" 2009-09-03
By S. Guerra (New Orleans, LA)
The Thule bicycle fork mounts worked great. It was very easy to install, I simply screwed them down to the floor boards of a utility trailer using some dry wall screws and away we went. I drove from New Orleans to North Carolina and the bikes remained secure on the trailer the entire trip. They worked great.

 "Perfect for Transporting Bikes in CRV" 2009-05-26
By Penny Pincher (Glendale, AZ)
We have a Honda CRV and needed a way to transport bikes. Since the spare tire is mounted on the back of the vehicle it is harder to find a bike rack for it. We don't have a hitch, so it would be very costly to get one installed and then pay for a rack. We bought two sets of the fork mounts and installed them on a 2X6 piece of scrap wood (51 cents at Home Depot) which fits perfectly inside the back of the CRV. Problem solved for not much fuss or money!

 "Works Great" 2008-06-21
By Jaime R. Silva (Ft Worth, TX)
Ordered three to mount on two wood planks 4-feet long (2x12) and put in back of truck. Transporting three bikes is easy now. Planks offer a very stable mount for the bicycles. Placed two fork mounts on one plank and the third one in the center of the second plank. two bikes face forward and the other back.

 "affordable alternative to expensive bike rack" 2008-06-14
By John Zimmerlee (Marietta GA)
Make your own rack or just bolt this mount where you want your bike and clamp it down.



I used a piece of plywood, staggered two of these, and put in the back of a minivan. Both bikes are inside and stable.



This mount is superior to both Diamond brand models, and probably better than those from Hollywood and Pyramid. I like the heavy base and the position of the fork receiver centered over the base.

 "Excellent mount for carrying bikes" 2008-02-15
By Jaime Ritchie
The mount works fine, it holds the bikes firmly. I installed them over a carrying cart and over 100 Kmh the bikes kept firmly attached to it.

I strongly recommend the product

 "works well" 2009-08-17
By N. D. Green (Maryland)
This wheel carrier worked well to get the bike wheel out of our smallish car. It definitely worked better than an earlier model we previously tried. The wheel feels secure in the mount and does not spin around while you are driving. I would buy this product again- and I am picky.

 "User Review: Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapter for Strap/Hitch Carriers" 2009-07-11
By JWO (California)
I purchased two Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapters for Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack from the Amazon retailer, Rack Attack. PROS: 1) Because of the numerous different bicycle frame configurations, it will quickly become apparent to the strap/hitch carrier user that mounting the bicycles level is difficult. Attaching the Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapter ends to the bike's handle bar and seat stems will make this procedure much easier. For this application, the product seems well designed. CONS: 1) One of adapters I received from the Amazon retailer had rusted bolts while still inside the packaging! However, shortly after being exposed to the ouside environment during use, all the lock bolts on both adaptors quickly rusted. At the stated MSRP, stainless steel hardware would have been the fair and better choice. 2) The rubberized coating on the metal ends of the adaptors will ultimately tear or wear down due to use, UVA exposure, etc.. As a result, the exposed metal ends of the adaptors could damage the bike's finish. Take care to protect the rubberized coating during use and storage. In conclusion, it is my opinion that the Thule 982 Frame Adaptor is both a well designed and needed accessory for the strap/hitch carrier user.

 "Too big for kids bikes" 2009-07-09
By p bear (Chicago, IL)
I bought two of these because my kids bikes do not have a top bar. The product description says to attach it to the seatpost and headset but since the adapter is too long, I had to attach it to the seatpost and the handle bar. The bikes rest on the carrier at a steep angle, but it still works. Just be aware of this if you have small bikes.

 "easy to use, works great" 2009-07-07
By girls can tell (philadelphia, pa United States)
this simple attachment does exactly what's it's supposed to. it works well and fits my frame as it should.

 "Helpful tool for small bike" 2009-07-05
By Flaco (CHILE)
If your sons bike is not the standard adult and does not have the "typical" setup, you wont be able to carry it without this adapter. Easy to use, hide and it does its job.

 "Works Great!" 2009-06-17
By K. Payne (Janesville, WI USA)
It was a little hard to figure out how to use it initially, because it didn't come with any directions. But after I figured it out it worked great! The only thing is that you can't use the stablizing part of my bike hitch when you use it, but the bike didn't really blow around without that. I would recommend it to anyone!
