 "bike rack" 2009-09-09
By Bill Payton (Sioux Falls, SD.)
This is a quality bike rack. It holds my bikes securely. It does take a few minutes to get everything adjusted though.

the hooks hold the bike in place but they are a little hard to release. There is a locking accessory that cost extra but with my water bottles I don't think I could use it. I like the way it folds up on the car.

Once adjusted for the bikes and after a few times of loading them up it only takes about 3 min. to put them on the rack.

I like it.

 "Awesome!" 2009-08-17
By Jim Marlow (Niagara Falls, ON Canada)
Originally was going to order the Thule rack for the roof of my vehicle, but after speaking with several people, decided to go with the hitch mount. The hitch works great, the bikes are easy to load onto the rack and they are very stable. The hitch also folds neatly out of the way when the bikes aren't on the rack.

 "Great rack solution for sedan" 2009-07-10
By Mel the biker (CA, USA)
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.

 "I love this bike rack" 2009-07-02
By Sergey G. Ivanchenkov (Jacksonville, FL)
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.

 "buy some lithium white grease to go with it " 2009-07-01
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.

Postscript to our original review. We purchased and applied the lithium white grease, and it has improved the operation greatly. It would be a great idea to ship the product with a small can of it,or at least include a note about it in the instructions, to avoid the frustration we went through. Lots of people don't bother to call the manufacturer, they just return the product.It works much better now. System wouldn't let me change the star rating on it though!

 "Great value rack adapter" 2007-10-23
By James (Columbus, OH)
Installed this adaptor on a Subaru Legacy Outback wagon with factory installed rack. Adaptor fits well and holds our Thule bike rack securely. We've taken several long distance trips with this without any problems. Great option for someone who already has a rack and simply wants to use it on a vehicle with a factory installed rack. Highly recommended.

 "Very Versatile" 2007-05-17
By T. Miller (Indiana)
I just bought this item and was not sure what to expect. First of all, be advised that this is an adapter only that will allow you to mount racks to a factory installed roof rack. The Thule adapter attaches on to most factory roof racks be sure to check the fit guide for compatibility at www.thule.com. I used this adapter to add a pair of Yakima Raptor bike racks to my roof. Yes it worked with Yakima. The only adjustment I had make was to use a hacksaw to saw off some plastic components on the inside edges of the Yakima rack that fold in and out. I assume these were meant to be cut off because they folded back and forth. Leaving them on allows you to mount to a rounded bar and cutting them off adapts them to this bar which is rectangular in shape. In less than 1 hour everything was complete. This item is very afforadable, versatile, and easy to install.

 "Well built, strudy and a good value." 2009-08-01
By O.B. (CO)
I bought this for my 2004 Specialized Big Hit. It is basically a 40 lbs downhill bike with a frame that doesn't mount to traditional racks. Received the adapter within about 3 days of ordering it. It has an all steel construction, including the clamps. There is a spring inside so it retracts and keeps a snug fit. The clamps lock in place so they won't accidentally open. I've got a Yakima big horn 4, fits great. Would highly recommend.

 "GREAT TOOL - Wish I'd Seen This One First!" 2009-06-03
By L. Furrow (VIRGINIA)
GREAT telescoping, adjustable length "crossbar" for the bike that doesn't have one. Women's bikes and kids bikes many times cannot be placed on a standard bike carrier if they are not equipped with a crossbar, or if the crossbar is too low or too short. This is great! The locking carabiner-type opening on BOTH ends makes this much easier AND safer than other brands.



MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER BRAND:

I just wish I would have seen this bike frame adapter before I bought the "other one." My first experience was poorly designed Allen Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor that has a "safety" cable attached. On the first use, the cable slipped out of its clamp and when I checked it, the main clamp holding it together would push open with little pressure. I could have lost my brand new bike on the first outing!



When I opened the box for my NEW SpareHand Bike Frame Adaptor, it only took 3 seconds to recognize the superior workmanship and design.



DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

 "Very Cool" 2009-02-22
By Austin
This bike frame adapter is awesome & priced right. It has a spring in the body so when u pull it apart to attach to your handle bar stem & seat post it retracts for a tight fit, great feature. It also has rubber on both ends to reduce slipping & scratching of your bike.



i own a Yamika one too & this one is wayyyy better. The Yamika one has no internal body spring so as you drive over bumps or what not it slides apart & becomes loose on your bike rack.



Great deal, most in stores are $35 or more & this is a great deal for $21 !
