How is Thule compared to BnB? I went to a shop and the price of Thule load bar rm1,100 and Proride 591 Thule bike carrier rm700 so altogether rm1800 as compared to BnB rm700 for both.

About Thule (taken from website):
The Thule Brand


The Thule brand was established in Sweden in 1942. Thule is a premium brand used globally for a wide assortment of products with a focus on solving the problem of how to bring equipment with you when using a car (roof racks, bike and water sport carriers, roof boxes). There are also other product areas such as accessories for recreational vehicles, trailers for active life (horses, boats, etc), snow chains and luggage.

Thule is the largest brand in the Thule Group.



With its origins in Sweden, Thule is now a truly global brand

In 1942, Thule was founded by the Thulin family, when Erik Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a Pike Trap that he designed and began selling to the fisherman of Scandinavia. It wasn’t long before he added other practical things to his company’s portfolio. Business boomed, gaining profitably year after year.

By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate its business on car-related products, and before long the first roof rack was born. New product categories were added in the 1970s and new markets were opened worldwide (e.g. US, Japan).

The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979. It continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions (trailers and rooftop box manufacturing), and Thule has been in growth mode ever since. New markets have been opened, product categories have been launched and several companies have joined.

In 2004, the Thule Group acquired Italian snow chain manufacturer König. An ensuing close collaboration resulted in a series of Thule branded snow chains for passenger cars. A year later, in 2005, RV Accessories company Omnistor was added to the Thule Group portfolio and integrated with Thule.

By acquiring towing systems company Brink in 2006, Thule Group added yet another product range to its portfolio. This integration has resulted in a series of towbars and bike carrier solutions.

Since 2007, Case Logic has been part of Thule Group. As a consequence of the collaboration between Thule and business area Carry Solutions, a range of Thule branded luggage, bags and cases was launched in 2010.

Have you bought the downhill bike?

Post the picture for us to 'cuci mata'


I rode the bike (Trance) to Bukit Cerakah recently. Really enjoy it. Thanks.


I also rode it around Shah Alam, but becoz I was not experience in riding bicycle/motorcycle, it was really dangerous. It seems that I have to stop road riding at busy streets.

Another thing is that I dont understand the adjustment of the fork. On the right there are two types of adjustments, the blue lever and the red button. How to use them?
