Thule 593 Wheel-On Rooftop Bicycle Wheel Carrier Review

Thule 593 Wheel-On Rooftop Bicycle Wheel CarrierThis wheel carrier worked well to get the bike wheel out of our smallish car. It definitely worked better than an earlier model we previously tried. The wheel feels secure in the mount and does not spin around while you are driving. I would buy this product again- and I am picky.

Surco BT300 Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack, Up To 3 Bike Capacity Review

Surco BT300 Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack, Up To 3 Bike CapacityI just completed a 500 mile trip to Maine with three bikes on this rack.It was attached to my CR-V.We encountered all types of road surfaces from high speed highway to dirt roads and the rack preformed very well.The bikes (two mountian and one kids) were held firm and without any sway or wobble.To mount and dismount the rack was a piece of cake.The only thing I had to do was purchase a conversion tube for my daughter's bike as it is of the modern kids style that has a large frame tube.

Hollywood Racks SR1 Spare Tire Rack 2-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack Review

Hollywood Racks SR1 Spare Tire Rack 2-Bike Spare Tire Mount RackWe purchased this rack for use on a Chevy Tracker & Jeep Liberty. We wanted something that would be able to slip on/off without alot of tools and be able to be mounted on either SUV that we own without alot of hassle.
Both spare tires have covers and we wanted something that did not require mounting to one of the bolts holding on the spare tire.
This rack has been used several times in the last month and works great.
Another review on here stated they received the rack with just plain arms for sitting the bike on. Ours did come with the plastic cradles and rubber straps shown in the present picture of the rack and which are the newer model. (part# SR1-SA2)
The rack has remained tight on the spare tire ever since the original mounting. The only cons we noticed and this was mentioned on another review was that we did notice a small amount of rust after only a few days on the tightening bolts threads. Other than this, the rack has performed as expected and we would recommend this rack for anyone who has multiple vehicles with outside spare tires and might want to change the rack to the either vehicle without alot of hassle.
