Which Thule roof bike rack for Specialized Pitch ?

jason23

Hey Peeps, Can anyone advise?

Mind boggling amount of choice with all this Thule roof rack shit, its giving me a headache.

I need a mount for a hardtail and for a specialised Pitch full sus.

Will be using Aero bars.

Like the look of whisper bars but who can afford them?

591 are good, Hold the bike nice and firmly and look nice. Well as nice as a bike rack can.

591 ok for sull sus diameters ?
Is it easy to mount and dismount to aerobars?

Thanks

Radioactiveman

yes and yes

good and good. Just wondering if I could fit Mont Blank bike carriers to my Aero bars.

I need three bike carriers so I might mix and match cheap er ones with more expensive.

Crazy prices but the 591's are quality kit. Seems incredible they hold the bikes as rigidly as they do, nice design.

Hows the Cotic Soul by the way? Nice bikes, do you recommend?

Yeah they are super good with holding the bike (I have 2 of them), was travelling along the A11 other day and a car with a 591 on came flying past me, must have been doing 80+ and the bike wasn't moving an inch in the wind or when he was changing direction.

Quite amazing to watch them in action as you cant see them when they're on top of your motor

Really like my soul, had a whyte 46 before and I dont regret going back to a hardtail

RIdes amazingly and I can keep up with my riding buddies on their 5s, enduros etc. Hard work on the usual hardtail enemies such as roots, techy climbs and flat but bumpy/rocky pedaly bits. But to be honest I love it, feel so much more connected to the trails.
