2 x Thule UpRide 599 bike carriers with locking roof bars

This superb bike carriers and bars package deal provides everything you need, including (where possible) locking roof bars. All you need to do is to click on "Add to basket and choose bars" to place your order; we'll then show you which roof bars are available. You'll pay more for aluminium than for steel, and you'll pay more for Atera or Yakima bars than you'll pay for CRUZ. The savings on buying the components individually are huge and, if the bars you choose don't come with locks as standard, we'll include them for free, so often the savings are even bigger than advertised. We're very confident that you won't find such good value anywhere else!

Thule’s UpRide 599 offers great protection for the bike frame and is also foolproof to load and secure. No part of the rack makes contact with the frame of your bike, making it ideal if you have a carbon or unusual shaped frame. It's versatile design will accommodate bikes from 20" to 29", wheelbases up to 1240mm and tyres up to 3" (or 5" with the optional fatbike adapter) and weighing up to 20kg.

It's quick and easy to install - no tools are required and everything is done close to rooftop level. Set the front arm to your wheel size then lift your bike onto the rack and secure the second arm. The rear wheel is then secured with a ratchet strap. You can use the integrated locking cable to lock you bike in the rack.

Other features:

• Takes wheels between 20” and 29”.
• The adjustable rear wheel holder takes a range of wheel sizes up to 3" wide (or up to 5" with the fat bike adapter - available separately).
• An integrated cable lock secures your bike to the rack while another lock secures the rack to your roof bars.
• Fits T-track aluminium roof bars with a 20mm channel (adapters available for other bars).
• The arms fold flat when you are not carrying a bike.
• 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.

Exchange scheme: Roof mounting bike carriers are part of our 90 day exchange scheme - please see the tab for more information about how this works with Package Deals. The bottom line is that if you aren't satisfied that the Thule UpRide fits the bill you can exchange it for an alternative roof mount, or a tow bar bike rack.

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?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". 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.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

Deciding which bike carriers to buy is not always easy, especially as you may not have had experience of using bike carriers before. We hope that our buying guides provide useful guidance about which bike carrier 'strategy' will be most appropriate for your circumstances, as well as highlighting the best features of particular models. We also have troubleshooting FAQs - for example, some customers struggle at first to fit four bikes onto a tow ball carrier, and wonder whether a different carrier would allow the bikes to be spaced wider apart. (It won't, but we have some good tips which make bike fitting much easier.)

Our bike carriers Exchange Scheme covers roof mounting and tow ball mounting bike carriers only. Rear door mounting / strap on carriers are not included, and nor are roof bars. It allows you to exchange within 90 days of invoice date. Most exchanges are for roof mounting upgrades, or are tow ball carriers with very basic tilting systems being exchanged for easy to use sliding / tilting carriers.

These are the rules of the bike carriers Exchange Scheme:

• You are allowed one exchange only.
• The original equipment must be in "as new" condition, subject only to fair wear and tear.
• The replacement items must be different models from the originals. Not just an alternative colour.
• The replacement items must not be part of a package deal or be from our Bargains section.
• Roof bars are never part of the Exchange Scheme.

This is how the exchange scheme works:

• We charge in full for the replacement items, including the appropriate carriage charge and a charge for any packaging needed for the return of the originals.
• We pay the return carriage costs.
• When the originals arrive back here we refund you for their invoice value, but you won't get back more than the invoice value of the replacements. In other words, if the replacements are cheaper than the originals we won't be giving you "extra cash back".

If you want to exchange bike carriers that were purchased as part of a package deal, the scheme works in exactly the same way. Please note that the roof bars in package deals will be invoiced at the full “Our Price” that was advertised at the time of order, with the bike carriers representing the difference between the package deal price and the roof bars, this difference being split equally between the number of bike carriers. You will see therefore that package deal bike carriers are often invoiced at a very substantial discount to the cost of buying these items on their own.

Please note: we can only collect items from mainland UK.
