You know I got a bike, so I need to be able to move it around from hill to hill. Let's go through the installation process of the UpRide so we can get to and from the hill with ease.
Hello to all. Nice practical video, thanks. This type bike holder-(Upride-599 with weel adapter Thule-5991) is also good to use for travel with your fat-bike. Realy strong bike holder! 😎👍
Frank! Glad we're on the same page. Absolutely love mine. Have been using them for over 4500km now and they're still in great shape! Oh and so are my bikes!
Great video by the way! So to have both racks facing the same way on the car you have to unscrew the wheel cage and flip it around right? I think that’s worth mentioning. Both the racks look way more cool facing the same way.
Thank you J D, you got it. To have both facing forward that rotation is needed. And to have both facing forward makes for easier on and off as well as looks better. Also I didn't find much of a difference in terms of efficiency. I drove 1000km with them the same way and 1000km with them opposite.
I have this same set up but I wanted to ask, you know those weird metal half loops that the Uprides come with? I couldn't figure them out man or is that even necessary
Hey Paul, the half loops would be used if you wanted to go under the bars instead of in them with the T-screw. So if someone had square bars or the rounded bars that don't have the T-track. Hope you like em, I'm loving mine!
Hey there Lloyd, that's a very good question I just went through documents and have not found a mention on spacing. Mine are pretty close are 30 in/ 76.5 cm apart and have been just dandy
Thank you! The UpRide (599000) and the bars are the aero bars which are no longer available but the most similar ones available now are the Wingbar Evos (711100)

Hey buddy did you end up recording how to install the Thule upride on the left side with the bike facing forward rather than backwards
Hey, I'm sorry it's been so long. I'll record, edit and post tonight
@@TheRouge All good no rush! I was just curious haha. I’ll keep an eye out for it!
Are you able to open your rear hatch without the back of it touching your spoiler?
I can, even with the bike on it. I'll make a shorter video going through that soon.

What is the distance between your racks? Is there a requirement/special instructions for thule upride?
Hey there Lloyd, that's a very good question I just went through documents and have not found a mention on spacing.
Mine are pretty close are 30 in/ 76.5 cm apart and have been just dandy
Great tutorial! What kind of mount is that?

@@TheRouge I appreciate you sharing the information and will check out that winbar evos model. Have a great day!
@@Fayz-1 not a problem! Hope you have a great day as well!
Can it fit on city crash roof racks from vw
Hey there Damon, they should with the square bar adapter. Assuming the shape of your bars are close to the aluminum bar by Thule I don't see why not.
Can you leave the rack there when you don't have bike on?
Yea you for sure can, one of the latches is lockable too.
@@TheRouge Any concerns with arms flying up or moving around when driving without a bike. They don't seem to lock when stowed away.
@@spinfunky they have been stable for me. On the city roads and the highway. Will be doing an actual review shortly.
@@TheRouge thanks for a reply. And you drive with it empty ?
@@spinfunky no problem! And yes I do, did just shy of 200 km this weekend with it empty and resting down. Was cruising at highway speeds.
