Do You Sell a Hardware Kit for the Thule Big Mouth 599XT? What Roof Mounted Bike Rack do I Want?  

Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/10/2025

Question:

Hi, Im just wondering if you offer full mounting kits for any Thule racks - I couldnt see any on the site. Im looking at purchasing a Thule Big Mouth 599XT that does not include any mounting hardware at all, so Id need: 1500056214, 1500050578 x2, etc etc. Is there kits available that would save me buying everything individually? Thanks

Hello Calum,

I wish we did have such a kit, but unfortunately we do not. So all the parts would need to be purchased individually which can add up quickly if you need all the hardware, and some of the hardware has been discontinued like the T-bolt 853-2040-04.

With that being said, you might be better off buying a new rack so it has all the components.

The Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum # RRRBC050 would be a great choice. What I like about this rack is that it is a wheel mount making it safe to use with carbon fiber bikes.

If you wanted to stick with Thule, the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack - Frame Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum # TH598004 would be a great option as well.

What kind of bike do you have? What kind of deal were you going to get on the Big Mouth?

Hey Calum, how's it going with finding a solution for your bike rack? Did you decide to go with a new rack like the Rhino-Rack or the Thule ProRide XT, or are you still considering the Big Mouth? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others in a similar situation.
