Hi all,

I’m looking for a roof-mounted carrier, of the type that the forks clamp into, rather than it clamping onto the downtube.

Any recommendations?
TIA

I have a Thule 561 which I have been very happy with, untill I got a bike with a qr15 fork, the adaptor (a simple tube) from thule costs £30 😯

Thanks, gab. I thought Thule may be the rack of choice (I have 591s at the moment) Just wondered what other choices there might be!

Thule 561 the only option at present

£30 for a piece of alu pipe for qr15 and i had to cut ot down to 100mm!

do you have bolt throughs or not

Thule 561 for me too.

doctornickriviera – do you have any of that pipe going spare as I could do with a bit – happy to pay for it 😉

Doctor nick – not bolt throughs, just plain old fashioned QRs

There is also an atera one on roofbox.co.uk. i also have other atera carriers and they are fine.

Valley Daddy, Yes I have 1cm of aluminium tube you can have for £3.50 seems fair!! 😆

doctornickriviera – I feel no love on that one 😥

Not feeling much love from THULE on this issue. I contacted their customer sercvices on the pricing of a piece of alu tube, but got the standard BS e-mail back. Fine i’ll take me custom elsewhere in the future.

I have 2 of the Thule roof cycle holders that clamp the forks up for grabs

Presumably all your forks are out of warranty?
