TU598B - Thule 598 ProRide bike carrier black - RETURNED

£129.95
RRP:
Code: RETU598B

Thule have managed to improve on their best-selling 591 bike carrier with the new 598. It's very well designed and easy to use.


The Thule ProRide 598 is a very well thought out, well made bike rack. It's quick and easy to install, easy to use, and looks great.

What makes this a 5 star product:

  • The frame holder will stay in whatever position you place it in, so you can position it before lifting the bike onto the roof.
  • The shape of the aluminium bottom tray isn't just designed to look good. Assuming that you are parked on the flat, or facing slightly downhill, the bike will roll forwards into the jaws of the frame holder, i.e. less strain, better safety.
  • The plastic wheel holders have an edge to them so you're less likely to overlift, i.e. dump the bike beyond the bike carrier and onto the car roof.
  • Diagonal, quick-release wheel straps hold your bike securely.
  • When the bike frame is resting in the frame holder you'll support it with one hand and use the other to turn the tensioning knob which is probably at shoulder level. This has a one way ratchet, i.e. the frame holder will click shut one notch at a time, click, click, click. You'll hear a big click when the frame holder is tight enough. This is what Thule call their "torque limiter dial".
  • You release the frame holder with a push button; it releases entirely, making it easier to take the bike off.
  • It comes complete with 20mm x 20mm adapters for aluminium T-track section bars, suitable for all the aluminium bars we sell. If you have square (32 x 22mm) bars or other aerobar types, e.g. BMW, then you need adapters (shown below).

Other important info:

  • Fits T-track aluminium roof bars with a 20mm channel (adapters available for other bars).
  • Fits bikes with down tubes from 22mm to 80mm diameter (up to 80 x 100mm for oval frames).
  • Fits wheels up to 3" (adapters available for 3-5" tyres).
  • Maximum bike weight: 20kg
  • There's no official guidance from Thule but we have used this rack with bikes as large as 29ers.
  • Weight: 4.2kg
  • Each 598 has two One Key System locks - one locks the carrier to the roof bars, the other locks the bike to the carrier.
  • It's easy to change from left to right hand mounting to load you bike from either side of the car.
  • It's TÜV approved and meets the "City Crash Test" criteria.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
