Thule Big Mouth Bike Mount

 Brand : Thule
Item : THU0006
“Your bike ain't goin' nowhere!” says the Thule Big Mouth bike rack. The Big Mouth's titular Big Mouth is a clamp that securely grabs your bike's frame to hold it in place without you having to remove the front wheel. With this secure bike carrier, all you do is put your wheels in the track, tighten the straps and attach the clamp arm. The Big Mouth self adjusts for whatever bike frame you happen to be carrying, and its dual locking system locks the rack to your car and the bike to the rack, so unless they have a cutting torch or the key, nobody's getting your bike.

Thule Big Mouth Bike Mount



BIG Mouth Causes Little Trouble
The Big Mouth Bike Mount works well. You have to maneuver the bike a bit to get the mouth to close properly on the down tube of your bike. At first, I was a bit concerned about how securely my bike was being held by the Big Mouth. But after a little experimentation, I found the position that works best for my bike to fit securely in the Big Mouth. Before taking any long trips with your bike mounted in the rack, I recommend you do some trial runs. It is possible to not have the bike as secure as it could be. If I could change one thing with this rack it would be to make the clamping arm a bit longer so the mouth piece that actually clamps on to the down tube of the bike sits more securely on the bike.


end caps
Good caps. Only complaint- they should come with the bars, you pay 50$ for bars , you would think Thule could throw in some end caps.


Dont think so
Not a very secure feeling. I have had my rack for almost a year. The "claw" is very loose and will slide a couple inches down the frame (I have a Cannondale F600). The bike sways left and right as go around corners and over speed bumps. Going to get a new "more secure" rack very soon.


Solid
This bike rack gets the job done. At first it can be tricky to get the bike in the rack, but I quickly developed an effective method. Sometimes I have to pinch the clamp to get it tight around the bike frame but once it's on, it seems pretty stable. The whole rack is just super solid, as are all Thule products I have used.


Super Easy
I found this rack very easy to install. The only note is that you need a ruler/tape measure and an allen key. The allen key comes with the rack, a ruler doesn't. My bike gets on and off easily and feels secure. The rack is also easy to take off the car for when you aren't using it. I assume that if you have locks then it wouldn't be, but I don't have locks. Yet.
