4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Rack, May 4, 2008

This review is from: Thule 961XT Speedway 2-Bike Trunk Rack (Sports)
I’ve used this bike rack for over 10,000 miles across the U.S., on two sedans and one SUV. It’s always been secure and rock solid (tried only one bike) at every speed I’ve driven, ranging from highways to gravel roads in all weather. It is an effective bike carrier and I do recommend it. There are some minor pitfalls though.
The mounting is tricky, with any car. It took me 40 minutes the first time, now I can do it in 15, ensuring everything’s good. The documentation isn’t terribly clear either because the actual mounting is a nonlinear process. You’ll need to factor the rack mounting into your “getting ready” time. Tying up excess length on the straps is troublesome; you’ll probably be rolling them up and taping them together. So you’ll need tape with this rack. Last, its two screwknobs are easily lost and the product could have well been designed with a better mechanism for adjusting the rack to fit other cars. These are minor though, and the rack does carry a bike quite well. Things to note about trunk racks in general: 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful:
4.0 out of 5 stars Works great for the price, May 22, 2007
This review is from: Thule 961XT Speedway 2-Bike Trunk Rack (Sports)
I have no real complaints. The rack is sturdy and seems very well-built. I’m definitely happy with the purchase. The only slightly annoying this is that there’s no built-in way to secure the extra slack in the straps once you’ve tightened everything down, so you either need to secure them yourself (i.e. rubber bands or something similar) or they’ll flap around while you drive. I’m going to try to buy some velcro straps to serve this purpose, but a built-in solution would have been nice. Overall though, I’m happy with the purchase. It provides a very reasonably priced solution. I wouldn’t suggest getting any cheaper model than this one though unless it’s for very short drives. The anti-sway clips on this one serve an important purpose and I don’t believe the cheaper models offer this. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
