Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Review

This bike rack works well once it is mounted.The description of the item did not mention that it needed to be mounted on the Thule roof rack adapter.I ordered only the bike rack.I hoped that the rack would mount directly to my Toyota Rav4's factory roof rack.I've since been looking at other factory roof racks, and have noticed that most of them have airplane wing-like bars which go from side to side.These bars are about three inches in width, and the hardware on the Big Mouth Bike Rack is set up to fit the Thule adapter, which has bars little more than an inch in width.Instead of ordering the adapter, I spent a day tooling my own mounting hardware.This gives the bike rack a much cleaner look, and sets the rack and bike closer to the roof, making it easier to load and unload.The second problem is that the end caps come off much too easily.Other than these problems, the rack works well, and is easy to load and unload.
