I purchased Thule Helium 970 in July of 2009. I like the bike carrier because it is light and very convenient for every day use.
I just unsure about the rack anti - theft protection. You can't lock the receiver pin like on previous Thule models. And in locked position the Thule Stinger Swinger hitch knob will spin freely but you could easy release the hitch rotating the tighten bolt using a fine plumbing pliers at the open bolt space next to the knob.
I think the stinger assembly needs better anti - theft protection or Thule should design a lockable receiver pin for the model.

It's a niece product, light and easy to operate. My lock jammed when i was on the road and I was unable to use my bikes. Called Customer service and the only advise the guy gave me, was to find a locksmith or cut the "security cable". Then he requested to send pictures of the broken cable so he can ship a replacement one. I ended up disassembling the carrier and taken apart the cable when I got home.
Other than that, I'll recommend the Helium carrier even the support pads ended up scratching the bike's frames.
