Just what I needed at just the right price

When we recently bought a new bike for my wife, I was disappointed to find it difficult to hang the bike on the 3-bicycle trailer hitch rack we had for our SUV. The slanted cross bar on her ladies bike just wouldn't allow the bike to be properly set and tightened into place in that rack no matter how I tried. This great little item takes only seconds to attach to the bike and makes use of our existing bike rack a cinch. The only thing you need to know and I learned from reading other reviews, is to attach and detach the end with the inner extension tube first so that you don't risk getting your hand pinched in the spring loaded retraction device. Once you get that little detail down, this item is a terrific solution to what was previously a sticky problem. Highly recommend it and I may buy more of them for other family members' bikes.

Works like a charm

We ordered two of these for our ladies Schwinn beach cruisers. They work perfectly and now we can load our bikes on the rack and not have them hanging at weird angles. The shipping was SUPER fast. Ordered on Sunday, arrived Tuesday - using the FREE super saver shipping option! I like the cable that connects the cross pin to the bar - keeps you from losing the pin. This bar might be a bit too large for a kid's bike, so be sure to check that out first.

Great product, great price

The design is simple and that usually responds to relaibility. It provides a secure fit. We have folding bicycles for which we were prepared to have difficulties because of their conformation. No problem. Very pleased and would highly recommend this product. Very competitively priced.

Great Mount Rack for the money...

I use this rack on a 2000 VW beetle with a spoiler. Figuring out how to use it was easy, the only thing is that on the beetle you can only hook the bottom strap to the bottom lip of the trunk forcing you to mount the rack a bit high. Mounting the rack high puts it at a high angle and the bike closest to the car will touch the back window with a peddle. I just wrap that peddle with a small towel and secure it with a small bungee. Another small gripe is that rack wobbles a little no matter how tight the straps. I am not sure if this is due to the shape of the car or the fact that there are only three straps. Could be both I guess. I would also recommend the cross-bar adapter if you have a women's bike or any other irregular framed bike. It really makes a difference on the stability of the rack. Overall good rack for getting around town with two bikes.

WORKED FOR ME

I WAS SCARED THIS RACK WOULD NOT FIT MY CAR OR THE BIKES I WANTED TO PUT ON IT, BUT IT DID. I HAVE A MOUNTAIN BIKE AND MY SON HAS A STREET BIKE BOTH FIT GREAT. IM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT.

Worked from California to South Carolina

This was pretty easy to figure out and mount on the back of my 2001 Volvo s80

I drove from California to South Carolina and it worked great.

I did only have 1 bike on it though, and I wove the bike lock through the tires and to the rack to help secure the bike more.

great rack, bad fitment list

i own a scion tc hatchback. The top straps have to be somewhat long to secure this bike rack CORRECTLY to my vehicle. The straps are TO SHORT, making the rack fit with the holding bars to high in the air, or no leaving anogh strap left over to tie the necessary knot at the adjustment clips. Yet my car is on the fitment list. but overall well built rack, please imoprove your list

1. Injection -molded arms and legs are the strongest on the market
2. Built with 100% recyclable, non-rusting materials
3. Ratcheting anti-sway straps secure and stabilize bikes.
4. Arc-based design fits over most spoilers, and separates bikes on different levels

Editorial Review :

4-1/2 stars (out of 5), Bicycling Magazine. A Saris Bones rear rack is one of the few things in life that's both hard working and drop-dead gorgeous. Created by renowned italian designer Fabio Pedrini. The Bones rack gives you more than a stylish alternative to roof racks. It's a stable, secure ride. A system that mounts quickly to almost any vehicle make and model, from sedans to mini-vans-even when there's a rear spoiler involved. And that let's you save your energy for the road or trail.

easy to use, fits my hatchback!

This rack is so easy to mount onto the car. I have a small hatchback and it's very secure on the back. I would definitely recommend it!

Saris Bones 2 bike rack

I own a 328i BMW and was initially hesitant to mount this rack (or any trunk-mounted rack for that matter) on the car for fear of marring the painted surface of the trunk. I noticed the "feet" of the nylon ribbon securing tapes were made of painted metal. This was obviously a no no. So I placed rubber electrician's tape on each foot and appeared to have solved that problem. The rack seems sturdy enough and has no inherent design problems although it was tricky setting it up initially to fit my particular application. Once I marked the rack with the supplied tape stickers and my own magic marker mark points on the shafts, I now have a rack which I can put up and take down with the "memory" of each leg location already in place. Ir holds both my and my girlfriend's bike securely. I have no reservations recommending this rack once you figure out how to finagle the legs to your own app and mark the shafts to remember where they go for future use. I like the fact that it it won't rust, is priced competitively, and basically looks cool. Get the rubber tape for the legs, a large cable lock, and you are on your way.

Gets the job done

Purchased this rack after much research, been using it for a year so far to get my bikes around. The screws that hold the arms in place once adjusted are made of a really cheap soft plastic and stripped out within the first month. The arms are also too thick to fit inside of the frame of my GT Force, I had to buy a seperate bar that connects stem to seatpost to make it fit on this. So check you full suspension to see if it will have room for these support bars before buying. Upgraded to a Thule metal rack recently.

Works great!

PROS:
Takes 5 minutes to install or remove
Fine in all weather
Looks cool
Sturdy


CONS:
Front tire is permitted limited movement (using a $2 bungee cord to secure it works well)
No way to secure the bike or carrier with a lock for security

Probably the best trunk-mount unit available

I've used plenty of different bike carriers, including a few other trunk-/back-mounted units. This one is notably different in design and overall quality from any other I've seen. It mounts very easily and securely (to a Scion model xA, in this case), and is just dead-solid on the car with two heavy bikes on-board. I just made a trip of over 1,200 miles (Portland to San Francisco and back), in windy conditions, with this rack, and it performed perfectly. I never had to stop to tighten or re-adjust the rack at all. One nice touch is that (at least in my case) the rear gate of the vehicle can be accessed with the rack attached (although not with the bikes on, obviously). There are only three items of caution I'd note: 1) If you're transporting nice bikes and care to protect their finish, you'll want to use foam pipe insulation sections to protect the top and seat tubes. 2) The fit-up is tight for two bicycles--it may be tough or impossible to fit two bikes with wide handlebars and/or racks. 3) Like any trunk-mount unit, there is no accommodation (that I can tell) for security, so do not plan on leaving the car out of sight, with the bikes on, for any length of time. I used a cable to lock the bikes to the rack, and this worked well-enough as a simple deterrent to leave the vehicle unattended for rest-stops and such, but wouldn't stop a determined thief, obviously.

Editorial Review :

Thule Lock Cylinders are arguably the most important part of your rack, that is, the part that keeps all your gear safe and secure on the rack. Thule Lock Cylinders are designed in one size to fit many Thule rack parts, so if a situation necessitates new locks, you can buy one package of Lock Cylinders and lock your entire rack with a single key.

just fine

worked perfectly on my thule criterium roof rack. took 5 minutes to install two of them, one that locks the bike rack down to the roof rack and one that locks the arm that holds the bike in place. They seem quite easy to pick, but at least they give me some piece of mind when i have to leave my car unattended.

Overpackers Rejoice!

Have owned a Thule roof rack for years and always attached it to our Jeep's existing roof rack. However, we sold the jeep last summer and were disappointed to learn that our new car's roof rack did not come with the cross bars. We purchased the Thule cross bars, foot pack, and locks and loaded up our car for the Jersey shore. Worked like a charm. Installation was easy; the biggest issue was moving the feet in tandom to get everything even (the existing bars were curved to contour the car). In a nutshell: my husband didn't work too long at the installation and any complaining was minimal (if any) so, for us, that is a success story! Upon our return from vacation, I wondered if the locks were really necessary given how weighted down the Thule was with luggage; however, better safe than sorry and it was nice not having to worry about one more thing that could go wrong! Worth the money.

It works!

When everything came, I read the instructions, called my sister, went to her home. We took all the parts out of the boxes, read the instructions, followed them and I have a Hullivator on my car. We tried her kayak, which is the same as mine, and it worked.
I have taken the top off until I'm going to put the boat on.
It is a great "shoulder saver".

Quality product

These locks easly fit into your Thule rack. Installation takes seconds. You have to love Thule quality.

work great and stand up well to wear

I have six of these on my rack system and they have stood up well to many seasons of year-round wear. Don't lose the blank "change" key that comes with them or you will have difficulty removing the cylinder if you change equipment. (You can always push in the last tumbler with a screwdriver to remove if you already have access to the inside of the lock.)

These allow you to easily lock your stuff to your rack and your rack to your car.

Great rack

I bought this bike for my 2 mountain bikes and it has exceeded my expectations. It is sturdy and mounting the bikes takes seconds. I have owned strap down racks in the past, and I got tired of strapping down the bikes and either removing the tires or bungee cording them prevent spinning while driving. The Swagman prevents all of that. I also like how it folds down to allow my Rav 4 door to open. It shipped quickly with no issues.

Great value!!

I bought this bike rack for my fiance for Christmas and had to research and make a decision without his input. I was nervous I would choose the wrong thing but he seems to really love this one. At first he was a little wary of the fact that the bike's wheels rest on the bottom of the rack, but then after the first use he realized it was helpful because it keeps them from spinning while driving. It folds up to be very small and fits easily in a closet when not in use. He is very happy with this rack!
