Pyramid Bicycle Monostay Adapter Review

Pyramid Bicycle Monostay Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The flat bracket that goes around the back of the monostay and attaches to the rack is made of such a soft metal that as I screwed the bolts into the horseshoe shaped piece it simply bent and could not be made completely tight. When I attach something to my bike I like to think that it's going to stay put and not wiggle around. I gave it two stars because it's probably okay for light loads.

Heininger 4252 HitchMate 48" X 20" Cargo Stretch Web and Bag with 12 Hook Review

Heininger  4252 HitchMate 48 X 20 Cargo Stretch Web and Bag with 12 Hook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Heininger 4252 HitchMate Cargo Stretch Web measures 48 inches by 20 inches and is specifically designed to secure objects loaded into the Heininger 4011 HitchMate Mounted Cargo Carrier, using 12 plastic hooks. The elastic Stretch Web will keep things stable in the carrier while they are being transported.
I received the Stretch Web alone as a gift, but I still find it useful in securing bulky items loaded on top of my station wagon. The plastic hooks cannot be used here because they don't fit my car's roof rails. Instead, I use various lengths of bungee cords with hooks on both ends to pull and tighten the Stretch Web edges against the rails. This arrangement works well to keep things up on the roof secure, much better than using bungee cords alone.

SportRack A1122SP Backrider 2 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier Review

I ordered this product "new". The box had been beat up, opened and resealed poorly. The parts bag and instructions were missing. I called Thule (the manufacturer) and they made it good, even though it wasn't their fault. 5 stars for Thule and this rack, no stars for either Amazon or UPS.

Yakima LittleJoe 3 Bike Carrier Review

I would NOT recommend this bike rack - awkward, flimsy and worst of all, it really isn't safe. I think it's ok for one bike, which is what I use it for most of the time, but I used it for two this weekend, and one of the bikes came off while I was driving down the interstate. There is nothing more terrifying than seeing your bike bounce down the highway!! We ended up tying the bike with some extra rope for the rest of the trip so it didn't happen again. Don't risk it! Buy a better rack!

I show a couple pix and mention this adaptor on following product page...
Sunlite Bicycle Welded Spring Rear Rack, (Black)
Very easy to install and worked great on my hybrid that had no predrilled holes for rack stay arms. It's rubber coated. I sometimes attach a basket and carry groceries on my rack and have had no problems with anything coming loose and I ride on rough terrain quite often.

Bell CarGo Rear Rack Review

Bell CarGo Rear Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The rack is not as pictured. I bought it because my bike did not have the brackets to screw a rack to the frame. Although the picture shows clamps for attaching both the top and the bottom of the rack to the bike frame, the rack only has clamps for the top of the rack. I had to fashion my own clamps out of insulated p-clamps (in the electrical department at the hardware store). Also the rack is screwed together rather than welded which makes it less sturdy than most racks. Get a welded rack at Performance bikes for about the same price ($15 when they are on sale).

Keep your gear stashed behind you with a rear rack by Bell, whether you're trekking, traveling, commuting, or need the extra storage for trips from the grocery story. Especially great for pannier bags, this lightweight alloy rack will not rust. It includes adapter clamps to fit your bike.

Thule 9001 Raceway Rear Mounted Bike Rack Review

Thule 9001 Raceway Rear Mounted Bike Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nicely designed product, but execution on our sample was poor. Beyond the typo in the instructions for our car, the quality of the item is not up to Thule standards. The right lower retaining strap mechanism is very stiff and the range of cable that we can use is limited. We can use it, but the stiff mechanism makes it more difficult to mount than it should be. And it won't be useable for those vehicles that require a shorter or longr amount of cable. Given the condition of the box and the instructions, I suspect that the supplier sent us one that had been returned to them. If we had purchased this in a local store, we would demand an exchange. Given the fact we bought this through mail order, we feel greatly disadvantaged.

Bell Ride 'N Haul Rear Bike Rack Review

Bell Ride 'N Haul Rear Bike Rack
Average Reviews:

This works about as advertised but there is a tolerance problem. The hole that the seat post goes through is designed too small. First you have to figure out a way to pry this open a small amount. This isn't very easy since it isn't designed to bend much. Took a while to do this but then it seems to work reasonably well.

Thule 911XT Passage 3 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier Review

Thule 911XT Passage 3 Bike Trunk Mount Carrier
Average Reviews:

I've owned this bike rack for approximately a month now and I am very happy with my purchase. Thule is a great product and I'm very happy that I purchased this bike rack. It's very easy to install and fits practically all makes and models of cars. The manual did not recommend the bike rack for my boyfriend's 2001 Ford Taurus, but it fit fine and we were comfortable with traveling with the bike rack on his car. We only checked to see if the car would fit my car before we purchased the bike rack, but everything worked out fine. I really like the material, sturdyness, and overall quality of this product.
I've read that someone or a few people weren't able to fit three bikes on this rack. We have 2 adult bikes and 1 children's bicycle and all three of the bikes fit fine. We've also traveled with 3 adult bikes and the fit was good as well. Just make sure you read the instructions and tips that come with the bike rack and you should have no problems.
