And you can’t get the wider wheel trays for the 591s
This would be the reason I’d swap a 591 for a 598 unless the 591 was broken.
You might maybe just to say get a 275plus wheel clamped in a 591 but you definitely won’t get a 4″ fatty strapped down, and as I’ve demonstrated in the past – if you swap out the standard strap for something longer and try to strap down a 4″ fatty that way, eventually you find a wind strong enough to turn the front wheel as the tray isn’t wide enough to support it – and then the bike probably goes over sideways. You *can* modify the existing trays with bits of plastic drainpipe and pop rivets, but now that you can buy ready made and warranted adapters for the 598 that you insurance will be ok with, is there really any point?
