Thule FreeRide 532
Thule FreeRide 532 is cheaper and good enough. Fixing the bicycle is quick. On the other side - initial setup of carrier is quite long - you have to set the strips for binding wheels. If you combine Bicycle Carrier with box at one moment, it can be quite difficult to find good position for roof bars..
Oct 2, 2011 / TesterThule ProRide 591 is more comfortable
Thule ProRide 591 is more expensive but is more comfortable. Fixing the bicycle is easier - you don't have to manipulate with bicycle at one hand and carrier tubes at the second.. Locking is rapid - does not care of type of your bicycle frame tubes. Big advantage 591 is mounted in special channels on the top of Roof Bars. It spares the space needed and 4 carriers at one car is not problem. I see only one disadvantage - thiefs love this carrier..

I have used Thule FreeRide 532 several times during last year. I found one disadvantage - it is quite difficult find optimal position of Roof Bars if you want combine Bicycle with Box.. It seems ProRide 591 is better choice for it.

also 4 carries with 532 possible
I checked it today - also with Thule FreeRide 532 4 carries mounted are possible
