Buying Saris Bones 805 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack
BuyingSaris Bones 805 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack
Easy to use and it fits
I could not find a bike rack from either Yakima or Thule that would attach to my two cars. So, it was with a great deal of trepidation that I ordered the Saris sight unseen. The mounting instructions were easy to understand and the rack attachs firmly to either of my two cars. Being the lazy sort, I store it in the mounting position for one of them. When I need to use it, I simply position the straps and snug them up. The straps are well made and protect the attachment points.Movement of the front wheel is minimal, but a bungee cord securing it might be advisable for long or bumpy trips.
The practical and minimalist design of this rack is outstanding. I will tell anyone who seeks my advice on a bike rack to check out Saris before looking at any of the competition.
======================================================================
awesome
Well worth the extra money over simpler models. No scratches on the car. Stable, easy to set up. Should have bought this a long time ago.
======================================================================
It fit my Honda Prelude perfectly
I have a lightweight Fuji road bike and had no problems installing this rack on my 01 Honda Prelude. I do NOT have a spoiler. One reviewer stated that this rack will ruin my paint, but I must have a thousand coats of wax on my Lude and don’t expect any problems. NOTE: I took Anthony’s advice (the guy in NY with the BMW) and bought rubber tape at Lowe’s and wrapped the clips.
======================================================================
Awesome- sturdy, safe and easy to install
Easy to install- though initial set up may take about 20 minutes to set arm positions and figure out strap placement and length. Holds bikes secure with straps for (top tube and seat post) and allows ample adjustment possibilities to keep the bikes (and bike tires) away from the vehicle body/paint. If its rubbing- you probably don’t have the arm height adjusted right (as I found out). Fits both my 2000 Honda Prelude and 2007 Accord carrying a Bianchi road bike and a Gary Fischer MTB. I read a lot of reviews complaining about the the set screws being plastic and stripping. This brought up initial concerns about material and build quality. While I can see how it would be easy to think that these need to be gorilla tight- there is no reason to go crazy with them. The rack arms are designed so the rack does the work- the set screw just keeps the arm position from sliding around laterally. Just a little snug on the screws and a recheck every so often as you head down the road. Rack is made sturdy light weight plastic reinforced with aluminum where it counts. Well designed and easy to load. Folds up compact and stows easy in trunk (even in my tiny Prelude trunk)or in corner of the closet. Glad I spent a little bit more initially and got something that works with no headache- and if something happens there is a lifetime warranty from Saris on it. Solid rack.
======================================================================
Works great!
