Great roof rack, terrible instructions,

This review is from: Thule 594XT Sidearm Roof Mount Bike Rack (Sports)
This rack is lightweight, sturdy, and quick to load and unload. It holds the bike steady on twisting mountain roads and at highway speeds substantially in excess of the posted signs. I had to do a very unscheduled unload while attempting a low clearance In-n-Out Burger drive through this past weekend. There's nothing like trying to unload a roof rack while several cars in line behind me watch and laugh, but I had the bike off the roof in under 20 seconds.
Assembling the rack is another story. It is not intuitive and the instructions reminded me of another Scandanavian company--Ikea (this is not a good thing). Between attaching the Thule fairing and the bike rack, it took me about two hours. Of course, once assembled, it attaches and removes easily.

This review is from: Thule 594XT Sidearm Roof Mount Bike Rack (Sports)
This bike rack is awsome. It takes all the weight and distributes it evenly on the roof of the car, while other rear bike racks eventually will damage your car's suspension, (I speak from experience). It fits any bike, from little light weight roadies to serious full suspension downhill monsters! It does have a pretty good locking system however, like most bike/ski/snowboard racks, they are just a deterent. If somebody reallys wants your gear, they'll get it. Better to unload when parked overnight, or in sketchy locations. I have two of these babies and my fiance and I travel in style in our 89 Civic with our two bikes on the roof!! Here we come Whistler bike park!

This review is from: Thule 594XT Sidearm Roof Mount Bike Rack (Sports)
I own one sidearm attachment and two criterium attachments, all by Thule. I use the sidearm to hold my dual suspension 29er because due to the shape of the frame, the criterium does not hold as securely as I would like.
Overall I am more satisfied with the criterium, it weighs less, goes on and off the vehicle more easily, and looks better on the car. It is also easier to load the bike into the criterium. I would only suggest the sidearm to someone with a dual suspension bike or an unconventional frame shape, but if that's what you have, I would strongly recommend this product. If you have a road bike or a hardtail mountain bike, buy the criterium. I have read some reviews of the bike falling off on people, but if you take your time to ensure the bike is loaded properly, you won't have any issues. 2115|R1WY19O8ADFQOY;2115|R2B7W93DXG5PAS;2115|R1A2OITU8MTBO6;
