better than yakima, January 30, 2010

Bought a yakima first. What a piece of junk.
Bought the Thule what a nice rack.
Stable, Solid what you would expect for the money.
A lil play on the 2" reciever. But not going to go anywhere.

My Bikes Fell Off and Dragged Down the Highway, June 6, 2009

Do NOT trust the rubber straps to hold your bike on! I had 2 bikes both on the front of the rack as I was supposed to. I strapped them in very tight and put the blue cable around them for extra security. Plus, I had a bike lock wrapped around both of the frames. I wasn't on the highway for 10 minutes when one of the bikes popped off. Luckily it was strapped tightly to both the rack and the other bike so it dragged behind my car until I could get off the highway. I'm in the process of making a warranty claim to Thule so they can fix the damages to my bike. So far their claim rep has been nice but doesn't seem to think that they're going to pay for anything. My only shot is that there is a small fray in one of the rubber straps.

Overall, I actually really like the rack. The lesson that I learned is that I need to use lots of extra straps to make sure the bikes can't move AT ALL. Also, I wouldn't recommend using this rack with a car, even if you have a hitch. The weight of the bikes pushes the shocks down so the bikes bounce around a lot more.

Good Bike Rack, May 17, 2009

This rack works as advertised although with some (ladies) bikes it's a tight fit getting the bike frame on the rubber mountings. It was easy to install. The rack mounts far enough away from the car that on a Lexus SUV, you can still open the rear hatch without tilting the bike rack. Also, if you need a tailer hitch, take a look at U-Haul. They have custom hitches for many cars that simply bolt on (without having to remove anything from the car). Much cheaper than what local repair shops quoted to adapt a generic hitch.

Beautiful Product, April 18, 2009

Great product as advertised. My only disappointment is that you can't use a standard hitch pin or lock. This means you have to take it off when not in use and want to make sure it does not get stolen.

Great product, but..., November 16, 2008

Great product. However when usually I receive stuff from Amazon, they always arrive in perfect condition. Not this one, it was pretty scratched up and almost looked like used. Since this is heavy and lot of effort to return, decided to keep it.
