Customer Rating: Good start, but not perfect By beach bum This bike rack is a good start, but they have some design work to do to make it great. The brackets that secure the bike are so difficult to slide that even strong men have trouble getting them to slide. Thule's explanation is that they want them firm so they don't move on their own. We joke that we don't need to lock the bikes because people will give up before they get the bikes off. Also, if you are mounting it on an SUV, we found that because of the car's height, you still need to lift the bike a decent height, so you might want to consider one of the more traditional bike racks. Also, Thule's customer service left something to be desired...he recommended that I see a "5 star dealer" but wouldn't even look up the closest one to me. They suggested I try lithium white grease, so we will see if that is an improvement. Once it is on, it's ok, but know that it could be better designed. Customer Rating: I love this bike rack By Sergey G. Ivanchenkov "surge001" I had purchased another bike rack first and found it to be useless. After a few weeks of frustration I chose to buy this one and absolutely loved it. It is sturdy, does not block the view in the rear view mirror when folded up, the bikes are mounted reliably, easy to fold up and down, easy to mount and dismount bikes, it looks very good in both positions - what else can you wish in a bike rack? So far I hadn't have anything to be grouchy about even a bit. I love my new rack and I recommend everyone to get it if interested. Customer Rating: Great rack solution for sedan By Mel the biker My vehicle is a 1999 Nissan Maxima sedan, equipped with a Kurt 1-1/4" hitch receiver. Due to the toung weight limit of the hitch receiver, the choice of bike racks is also limited. Thanks God, the THULE 990 is a great solution for me. Originally, I doubt the capability of an 1-1/4" hitch to bear heavy loads (rack + bikes). After I installed THULE 990 and loaded two bikes, I was so glad that I chose a correct rack. The play was very very small, no matter my car was stopped, on local roads or on the freeway. The rack provides three points to contact to each bike. It is an excellent way to carry bikes. No need to worry about that the bikes would scratch my car or scratch each other. For the rack itself, the height is pretty easy for me to load bikes. I do not have to lift my bikes too much. Also the rack provides sufficient clearance to access rear trunk and let trunk lid open without any interferences. For entering/exiting my drive way, THULE 990 provides sufficient vertical clearance so that I could drive in/out drive way without further awareness. For local road driving, all I need to be aware are the speed bumps. Just drive nice and slowly. Otherwise, the bikes/rack are rock-solid. For freeway driving, I drove my vehicle at 70mph and the bikes/rack were pretty stable. I could not feel any play or vibration. But the aerodynamic drag is a little bit noticeable. By the way the test drive on freeway was about 20 miles one-way, 40 miles total. The integrated lock heads are also a great advantage. No need to use additional ugly and bulky locking cables. The two locks on the locking handles are easy to use and efficient. The STL2 hitch lock is also easy to use and very tight fitted. With THULE 990, I could virtually extend my bicycle rides to anywhere my vehicle could reach. The THULE 990 is really a great bike rack. Customer Rating: Perfect Fit for my Honda Accord By Christopher Dunevant I really love the this bike rack. I have received quite a few compliments over it. I had a hitch installed on my Accord and it is a perfect fit. I have plenty of trunk access with bikes mounted. It is just another well made Thule product. I recommend that you also purchase the "Thule Snug Tite 2 Lock" as this is not a $50.00 K-mart special...I also purchased the optional post locks which helps to prevent theft of your bikes while mounted on the rack. 1-4 of 4
