Availability of Fat Tire Adatper for Thule Bike Mouth Bike Rack
Question:
Hey guys, will this part work with a Thule Big Mouth big carrier? Thanks

Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Thule regarding your Big Mouth Roof Bike Rack and he said that the Fat Bike Adapter # TH599100 that you referenced will not fit the carrier. The tray on the Big Mouth is a completely different style than what is on the UpRide Carrier, which is what this adapter is designed to fit. The adapter is not compatible with the Big Mouth Rack.
Unfortunately, there is not a fat tire adapter available that will work on the Big Mouth Rack. In order to secure a bike with fat tires your only option will be to go with a different carrier.
The Thule ProRide Roof Bike Rack # TH598004-FB is a really nice option that can handle fat bike tires that are up to 5 inches wide. Its padded clamp features a torque limiter that will hold your bike securely without the fear of over-tightening.
