The Thule Sidarm Upright Bike Carrier

The Thule 594 Sidearm

    If you’re looking for a top quality upright mount, look no further than the Thule 594 Side Arm Upright Bicycle Carrier. A perfect match for odd frame styles or carbon-fiber frames, the SideArm adjusts to clamp on to the front tire in front of the fork on the bike. This rugged rack will accommodate any wheel size from 20-29", and loading a bike can take as little as 30 seconds.
    The SideArm comes pre-assembled for passenger side mounting, but the SideArm instructions give full details on reversing the mechanism for mounting on the driver's side. The only tricky part of mounting the SideArm to your roof rack is getting some of the carriage bolts through the baseplate on the side where the arm is located. Just follow the instructions on removing the baseplate, inserting the bolts, and reinstalling the base plate, and you'll do fine. The SideArm includes all the hardware you need to mount it on round or square bars. For mounting on Thule aero bars or a Thule Xsporter, a Thule Xadapt kit is needed. Two lock cylinders are required if you want added security. (One lock secures the SideArm to your roof rack, the other locks the bike to the SideArm.) Still have questions about the SideArm? Do you already have a SideArm but you're having trouble installing it? Give us a ring at 1-800-272-5362 and let us share our expertise with you.
