Description
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.

Pros: Upright mount.
No need to remove front wheel.
Hold bike securely.
Works with most bike sizes, from 20" wheels to 29" wheels.

Cons: Not as aerodynamic as fork mount trays.

Recommendation: Several of my friends have fork mount trays and I found it very annoying having to remove my front tire all the time.

I decided to get these instead and I LOVE them. I can load or unload a bike in seconds, and they are very secure when loaded. (I have carried bikes with these from Colorado to Maine and back and to Utah and back several times)

Stop removing your front wheel. Get these and you won't regret it!
