Hard To Set Up But Super Secure

I bought this so I can bike more after work before I have to pick up my kids - trying to juggle being a working parent and staying in shape. It was pretty hard to assemble, I won’t lie. But several YouTube videos later (the instructions were all pictures, no words - not very helpful), it’s on and I love it. Some reviews have complained of wobble, I haven’t found that to be an issue at all! Doesn’t move at all even when I put 70 on the highway. Keeps my bike super secure and has really helped me exercise more :) I love the feature to tilt the bike rack and base down so I can still access my trunk easily, too. I would definitely recommend but plan to spend a few hours putting it together.

Great Upgrade From Older Thule Model

My original Thule lasted about 20+ years. The new one is a little heavier, but much more durable and easier to use. Love it.

Excellent Design, Still Needed Work To Install

I bought the two-bike rack to hold two E-road bikes (Trek Domane+, 32 lbs each). Fortunately, I had a couple of hitch extenders to choose the shortest one to clear the bumper. The harder problem was that the bikes conflicted such that the top tubes could not seat properly on the cradles. After lots of trial/error, I had to do something that was not in the manual. I removed the guide screws so that I could pull the frame cradles farther apart than the original 7" spacing. I got an extra inch or so, and now the bikes are completely free-hanging. I re-tapped the screw holes for just the outer cradles and it is all secure. I'm 1500 miles into a cross-country trip and it is working well. I like the anti-sway strap and hope that the ratchet straps are durable. I like the cable lock, but the key insertion is temperamental. Maybe a shot of WD-40? I just don't know why our bikes, with regular road bike geometry didn't fit. And unless I missed an easier solution, why did the design lock in at 7" spacing when the bars are long enough for wider? A response is appreciated.
