Saris Bones 805 2 Bike Trunk Mount Rack

Thank you

This fits my Mazda CX-7 perfectly. It holds my bike Electra Townie securely. I use the Saris cross bar substitute to make it more level. I chose this one do it could be used on family and friends vehicles too. I use extra tie straps to keep the wheels from turning and bikes tight together, but the built in straps always stay tight and are easy to use.Make sure the first time you ser this up for your car is in daylight. There is a bit of trial and error involved.

I haven’t mounted 2 bikes on it but with one it seems sturdyThe setup is quite easy after you do it once or twice.The straps are labeled so you know with straps go where on your trunk.The only suggestion I have is to somehow adhere rubber to the underside of the hooks so that there’s less risk of scratching the paint on the cars. I haven’t noticed any scratches but I have an older car so I’m not too worried.I recommend purchasing a strap for your front wheel to go around the main structure bar to keep wheel from turning and spinning while driving!

Compré el soporte de 3 bicicletas para usarla con 2 grandes y evitar que se rayen entre sí, entran sin problema dos bicicletas grandes y una pequeña.La calidad de los materiales es buena y el armado es fácil, espero que sea resistente, sobre todo en las correas que son las que soportan todo el peso.Los broches que amarran a las bicicletas son grandes, eso permite que bicis con tubos grandes en los marcos entren sin problema y queden bien aseguradas(a diferencia de otros racks).Para las bicis que uso, (Trek Marlin) No fue necesario comprar tubos adicionales para poderla montar al rack.Mi única queja es que las correas no quedan puestas correctamente sobre el rack, quedan mal puestas y no hay manera de ponerlas correctamente ya que el peso las vence.Completamente recomendado.

This bike rack was relatively easy to put together. It feels fairly sturdy, although with only one base arm on the top of the trunk (tripod stability), I did notice with my first use that the rack did shift slightly when driving extensive distances. For some reason, the clasp part of the anchor straps on one side of the rack were practically inside the frame; and on the other side, they were about 4"-6" away from the frame, which made it much easier to adjust the straps on one side of the rack versus the other.Main complaint about this rack: as it is designed to have the lower arms sit on the bumper, not the back wall of the trunk lid, it makes it a challenge to open the trunk, because you must line everything up just-so in order to close the trunk. I used it for long-distance bike hauling, which meant when I wanted to get something out of the trunk, I had to readjust the rack every time I needed to open the trunk, making sure the feet lined up so they would not get in the way of closing the trunk, and that all the straps were still in place. As I was on the road for four days, and did not want to leave my bike unattended on my car overnight (despite security strap into trunk), I had to open my trunk each night to put the security strap anchor back inside the trunk, so this was not something to not fret about. (Also, historically, I have simply left my bike rack on my car for long periods of time, and this trunk open/close issue means I'll only keep the rack on the car when I actually need it.)On this rack, as with previous bike racks I've owned, I do wish there was a bit of rubber on the clasps to help make the straps feel more secure once everything is tightened up. Minor complaint.Ease of use once assembled/in place: feel like it is pretty easy to get bikes onto this rack. Second bike was a little bit of a challenge to get it on, but I think that was more due to how the frames of the two bikes aligned more than a flaw of the rack design. I do wish the strap on the lower part of the rack, meant to secure the vertical bar of the bike frame, was perhaps two inches longer.There are holes at the end of the straps that you can loop a lock through (or a thin cable wire lock). They're more theft-deterrent than theft-preventative, as they're plastic, so a determined bike thief could cut through them, I think.Overall, compared to my previous rack, I like this one quite a bit. Feels sturdy. Straps drive me a bit nuts, but honestly, I have yet to have a bike rack where the straps aren't aggravating in one form or another. Easy to remove rack from car.

gran artuculo de calidad estoy muy satisfecho
