 Love this rack August 21, 2010
Jeff
This rack works beautifully. I have owned other Yakima roof rack products, and this particular rack stands up to the quality I would expect from Yakima.
I chose this design over the top tube clamp type of receiver hitch rack because the top tubes on my bikes are far from straight. This really makes them difficult to mount on the clamp type rack models. If you ever see an SUV riding down the street with a bike tire pointed towards the sky, you will see what I mean. I mounted this rack on a four-door saloon, so that scenario will look even more hideous. As you probably know from the product description, the way the rack secures the bike is by the front tire. So the bike sits very level regardless of the shape of your frame. That said, your tire has to be able to hold air at the recommended pressure for your particular tire in order to keep everything tight.
I will warn: The rack is pretty heavy, so taking the rack on and off the car can be a challenge if you think 50 pounds is too much to carry. Saris sells something called Thelma that about half the weight (and a little cheaper) if weight is a concern. In my mind, the extra weight gives me a little more assurance that the rack and bike will stay put at speed in the stiff breeze that is flowing over my trunk lid. It does wiggle a little bit back there as you drive, and that made me nervous for about the first 30 miles thinking I did something wrong but got over that feeling quickly.
Mounting your bike takes less than a minute. It is so easy it is almost scary. Before you grab your bike, fold the Pivot arm and wheel tray away from the center of the rack and release the rear wheel strap. Grab your bike, place the front wheel in the wheel tray, lift the pivot arm and ratchet it down on top of your front tire. Secure the back wheel with the wheel strap and off you go. You can use the included lock to secure your bike to the rack, and rack to the car, if you expect to make stops or leave the bikes unattended for a length of time. I have only locked one bike up so far so I am not sure the supplied 6 feet of cable would be sufficient to lock two bikes and the rack to the car. The cable lock is not going to keep a determined thief from stealing your bike, but it will keep the passer by from lifting it off for a joy ride.
I have done at least 500 miles with a bike on the back of my car so far and have not experienced a single problem to date. The rack keeps the bikes far enough away that you don't have to worry about scratching the car. Likewise, the rack does not touch the frame of the bike so no damage there either. Oh! The bottle opener works too.
 the design is look good but my car honda crv installed it and bike put it on,my truck door can not open after. June 5, 2010
