Questions on THULE bike rack on the A6 ----m
How is it, any problems with the instalation or on the long run, is it looking OK on A6 "curvy" roof (asking cuz of the roof shape on the A6 and the straight rails on the rack - never seen it on sedan only avant's ), also how stable it is and how fast is it permited to drive with it ?
PS: does anyone have the Thule "BIG MOUTH 599XT" model - is it possible for that clamp to damage the bake frame when clamping down ? ....(my is Cannondale Scalpel 1000 with big on diameter frame so have not idea if that clamp can make some dent or something --- any ideas ?
--( yeah did check the archives already but no help for that part. Q.'s)
Thanks v. much in advance =) HAPPY AUDING OOOO

Re: Questions on THULE bike rack on the A6 ----m
Once you get the correct fit kit, the foot pegs should fit relatively well to the roof. Just remember not to over tighten the railings cause that might result in severe damage to the roof.
Well, i wouldnt advice driving at too high a speed though, for obvious reasons. I use the big mouth as well for my 99 litespeed tsali. It has a titanium down tube so I never worry about damaging the frame. Otherwise I doubt you will damage the frame unless you overtighten the Catch. Go to the Thule website for the correct fitment guide.hope this helps you
