thehoof Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 To restart the discussion... Interested in thoughts about Proride 598 vs Proride 591 vs a more generic option (https://boatssa.com/product/single-bike-roof-carrier-mtg/) Costs for 2 are R5k vs R4k vs R3500.... Torn as costs are a real concern.
MajG Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 How many proride racks you looking to buy? My cousin was selling proride for R1800 in great condition
thehoof Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 How many proride racks you looking to buy? My cousin was selling proride for R1800 in great conditionOnly need one, but 2 makes the transportation of 4 family bikes easier. Which Proride?
MajG Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 The 591 I have a 591 and 598 on my car, personally no considerable difference. 598 has the angle mounted wheel strap, seems to ground bike wheels abit better. The main clamp onto frame has the torque limiter to prevent over tightening, great if you have carbon frames but definitely not a must have. I had thule free ride before, was just as good and sturdy too at much less of a price tag

thehoof Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 To feed back... ended up taking a grinder to the standard Thule "bolts" in order to get them into the various rails.. Properly secure, and looks the business!

Chadvdw67 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I would be careful with lower bridges as well, my racks are just over the bed of my bakkie and I can't go through drive thru's when my bike is on the back
Long Wheel Base Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 How do you get it up there?I don't have a canopy and have my racks just above my load bed and low trees, certain underground parking lots are NO GO. Even my own garage!!!!! I have to fit and remove with the bakkie out the garage.
