Pros: easy to fit
Cons: nothing really to say.
"Ordered the Thule Proride 591 with halfords online knowing it could be picked up at any branch. I did need to purchases a carrier for my roof rails and decided on the Thule product. The bike carrier was easy to fit and instructions were a doddle. Pictures speak a thousand words etc. A professional built product living up tp the name of Thule and of course looked great on my vehicle. The key locking mechanism was the icing on the cake as this offered a great level ov security and peace of mind. I could henestly say that i would recommend this carrier to anyone looking for a roof bike carrier solution."

"Easy to assemble and fit. Consider your height when purchasing as an adult bike sits very high on top of the vehicle. Quality is great, but you pay for it. I'd be concerned about leaving bike/vehicle unattended given the nature of the lock."

Pros: easy fitting, holds bike securely without damaging it
Cons: wouldn't trust the lock.
"Decent bike carrier. Holds the bike securely, easy to fit. I wouldn't expect the locks to provide much security against theft of the bike though. Bought mine when there was an extra 10% off.
Recommended.

"I bought this to take m step-daughter's extremely heavy "Mary Poppins" bike and it is superb. It's very easy to fit the bike (iimportant when it's such a heavy one and our car is a people mover so the roof is high) and it holds the bike securely."

"Fits most roof racks (i've used mine on 3 different brands) easy to use and keeps the bike nice and stable.
My only possible gripe is it is a little expensive, but it seems with fittings like this you get what you pay for."

"Very good bit of kit.
I've avoided roof bike carriers for years because i was worried about the stability on motorways and in the wind but I am mightily impressed with this one I dont even notice it. Its very easy to get the bike in position and the clamp is so easy.
I should have bought it years ago.
reservation process was very easy too. i would use it again.

"I'd used one of these before when taking my bike on a mates car so when I decided to get one for myself I knew which one I wanted to get.
The bike mounts very securely with a clamp to the frame down-tube and there are 2 straps that hold the wheels in place on the "tray".
Fitting it to my roofrack was much simpler than I thought it would be, but I'd recommend to cut an old bit of inner tube to sit between the clamp and the roof rack bar to prevent the bar from being scratched/marked and to make sure that there's a good grip between the clamps and the roof bars.
Loading the bike on is pretty straight forward, although if you're short of stature it may be handy to have someone to assist.
In terms of value, the Halfords price was pretty amazing and I was able to reserve online and pick it up an hour later.
I looked at rear mounted racks but decided that that roof option was better so I still had access to the boot of the car when the bikes were loaded."
