Does anyone out there know if the Thule ProRide 591 can take an Orange 5?

mine does, no probs. The clamp sits on the downtube just above the pivot.

As does mine, sits on the down tube just above the pivot. Clamp arm sits quite straight as opposed to my hartail which the arm sits a lot lower angle wise. so the front wheel over hangs at the front by a smidge but no prob as the centre of the wheel which ties in is well within the rack dimensions. (the orange sits quite forward on the rack rails, my hard tail sits further back on the rails)

Pic to give you an idea of it sitting forward on the rack a touch ( a picture is better than a 1000 words and all that)

if you want to avoid that just move the front rack/gutter assembly back a bit. I have done this on all 3 of my roof carriers as I often have a mate's Marin on the roof, which sits even further forward
