This is an awesome bike carrier-fit my 2010 Honda Civic just great! I am totally sold on Thule bike carriers-I had one on my 1997 Civic, so I knew I was getting a high quality product. Very easy to use and set up. Thanks for the recommendation, quick shipping, and great value!!

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Excellent rack at a reasonable price.
I bought a hitch receiver, bike rack, and an anti-rattle hitch lock from eTrailer. They arrived on time and were exactly as advertised. I watched their video on mounting the hitch receiver and it installed easily. I highly recommend the anti-rattle hitch lock.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Box was missing two set screws. Had to go to hardware store and buy them. Otherwise seems good. More stable than my previous bike rack.
We really enjoy the bike rack; it is so much more stable than the one I had previously. I am much more comfortable driving with this bike rack because I feel much safer; I know the bikes will stay in place until my destination. I would encourage anybody to buy this product.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Easy to use well made
Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
The rack instruction were fairly simple, the pictures helped a lot. It took 2 try's to get everything lined up so the bike would fit. At first I had the front of the tire tray and the front of the rack lined up and my bike didn't fit, so after taking it all apart and moving everything forward everything lined up nice. It does say that it fits tires up to 3" I'm running 2.5" tires and it dosent fit in the tray completely. That's really my only complaint!
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I chose the Chinook mainly because it came with locks for the hooks to keep the bikes secure, and a lock for the hitch pin to keep the rack itself secure. I also like that it has ratcheting top tube hooks, rather than hooks that secure with knobs. Assembling the rack was straightforward and took maybe 20 minutes. I did it with the rack off the car. I installed a trailer hitch on my 2009 Civic Si sedan (this was not NEARLY as easy as assembling the rack!) and hooked up the Chinook. It's fairly heavy, but appears to be about the same weight as most other platform style racks - even lighter than some of the higher end ones. It slid right into the receiver. The hitch pin/lock is easy to use. I loaded my XL 29" hardtail mountain bike and my wife's M comfort/step through bike onto the rack - the sliding trays were easy to move with the bike off the rack and I used a rubber mallet to fine tune their positions with some gentle taps once the bikes were on. One of my concerns was that the hook wouldn't go low enough for my wife's bike. I put the low hook on first and had it facing the outside as that's where my wife's bike was. The hook went down plenty far to secure the comfort bike. I did put small towels between the bikes and the hooks, as the "padding" on the hooks isn't very soft. The bikes didn't interfere with each other and they didn't touch the car. I was even able to open the trunk with the bikes on the rack in the upright position. The rack can tilt away from the car which would probably be helpful for cars with larger trunk lids. We set off for the trail. The rack did bounce around a bit while driving down the road (probably due to the low load rating for the hitch for the Civic more than the rack itself) but everything held tight and got the bikes to the trail with no issues. Unloading and reloading at the trail was quick and easy. Overall, I am very happy with this rack! It does everything I wanted a rack to do at a very affordable price.
So far, not good. The product arrived with the 2” hitch adapter already on, and so tightly on that I cannot remove it with the tools that I own.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting
The quality of the bike rack was excellent, but I was unable to use it because I couldn't open and close my trunk (Honda Accord 2012) when the bike rack was closed. It may have worked if I had a different trailer hitch, but I didn't want to spend the extra money on a new trailer hitch. Unfortunately, I will need to return the bike rack.

Thule Sprint Roof Bike Racks Review - 2009 Honda Civic
Today on our 2009 Honda Civic, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Sprint. This is a roof rack mounted fork clamp style bike rack. It's part number is TH528. We've got the Thule Rapid Traverse Roof Rack System that we've already installed on the Civic, so we'll begin our test fit by placing the rack right up onto our crossbars. As we do this, we want to make sure that the black rubber coated metal straps on each clamp go around the underside of our bars and that the top of our clamps are sitting right on top of the crossbars. We'll then bring those metal coated straps, or the rubber coated metal straps rather, around the underside, fit them into the indentations and then tighten the black levers here on the rear. For the initial tightening process, having them straight out is going to be the quickest way to take up the slack and then you'll cam them over into a lever position to give you a little more torque. With the front nice and secure, we'll move to the rear and essentially we're going to repeat that exact same process.

Here at the front, we're going to bring a U-bolt around the underside of the crossbar and fit up through the head of the carrier and then we'll thread on two wing nuts. We're just going to do these loosely for now to give us a little bit of room to position our rack, we're going to put a second U-bolt through the other side here and we just want to have a little bit of play so we can move it forward and back if we need to. All right, take our wing nuts thread them on this U-bolt as well. I've taken a quick look underneath the rack here just to make sure that our U-bolts are spaced about the same and everything looks square. We'll go ahead and tighten all four of them down. All right with the front secure, let's move to the rear.

Here at the front, we'll have the two outside portions of our clamp on the front side and the one middle portion of our clamp will be on the back side of our crossbar. Bring that down and over. You can let the rack sit there in the middle and tighten it, it will automatically center, but to make it a little easier on us, I like to pull back on it, so that the front portion of the clamps are right up against that bar. We'll then tighten down the black T handle, bringing the rear portion of our clamp up to meet our bar and then tighten that right down. With our front secure, we can now move here to the rear.
