Wheel Mount Roof Thule Bike Rack Recommendation for 29 inch Diameter Trailer Wheel

Published 11/16/2017

Question:

First like to say thank you for this service you provide.Question is, I already have the sidearm 594 and have been able to fit all my bikes on it all the way to a 27.5x2.4 wheels and tires, I now own a 29in wheel MTB and was wondering if i can use what I have and just replace the arm to accommodate the bigger wheel size.Thanks foe your help

It would be time for a new bike rack as there's no way to adapt a Thule Sidearm to fit a larger wheel diameter that what it was designed for. We have the Thule ProRide part # TH598004 which can fit wheel diameters that are up to 29 inches and is very similar to the Sidearm so this would be the best option.
