This review is from: Thule 593 Wheel-On Rooftop Bicycle Wheel Carrier (Sports)
I bought the 593 wheel-on rooftop carrier based mostly on reviews I read here on Amazon. While it is a quality unit that works well, I do wish the mounting screws/nuts were hidden once mounted, much like the Echelon bike carrier they make. This unit can easily be stolen as is. The other issue is the locking screw for the arms doesn't really LOCK it into either the vertical or horizontal (storage) position, it can still be pushed down/up with little force. Aside from these gripes, I really like the 593, I just hope it sticks around long enough for me to enjoy it!
