Thule 593 Wheel-On
Sturdy construction. Great way to get that muddy tire out of your trunk. The only downside is your wheel is not locked to the carrier and the carrier isn't locked to the roofrack. Just something to consider if you are going to be leaving your car unattended with your bike/wheel attached for an extended period of time. For me, it's a non-issue. Inexpensive solution to help keep your car interior from getting filthy.

Carries the wheel fine, but needs a lock!
The Wheel-On carrier is a helpful purchase if you don't like throwing a muddy bicycle wheel in your car after a couple hours on trails. It fits my 29 inch wheel well and it doesn't spin while driving. It fits on my Aeroblade rack fine, and appears to have a fairly universal clamping system. The big problem as others have noted is the complete lack of any locking ability. It uses a basic clamp with wing nuts to fit around the bar so the carrier itself would take all of 30 seconds to steal. The wheel also cannot be locked to the carrier aside from tightening down the quick release mechanism. The only option is to use a cable lock looped through the spokes and around your rack which looks a bit cheesy. It works, but a factory fit lock would be a nice change.
Good, but flawed
I bought the 593 wheel-on rooftop carrier based mostly on reviews I read here on Amazon. While it is a quality unit that works well, I do wish the mounting screws/nuts were hidden once mounted, much like the Echelon bike carrier they make. This unit can easily be stolen as is. The other issue is the locking screw for the arms doesn't really LOCK it into either the vertical or horizontal (storage) position, it can still be pushed down/up with little force. Aside from these gripes, I really like the 593, I just hope it sticks around long enough for me to enjoy it!
