Customer Reviews

Worth the extra money
I was skeptical. How effective could these actually be? But for the price I figured "why not give them a try?"

Worth the extra $20 or so. Although there was little to no sway with the Thule rack in the first place (I love my Thule rack - the 912), these keep the bikes extra firm and in their place when you're on backroads. But, I think most importantly, these cages keep the bikes from banging into each other and causing unnecessary frame dings.

Cons:
A little bit of a hassle to put on and take off - maybe 5 minutes extra to secure two bikes.

Also, you have to throw them in your car rather than leave them on the rack - too easy to steal so why risk it.

I like them - I recommend as long as they're less than $20.

Works -- but EATS PAINT
We bought a couple of these for our Thule rack. While they do indeed work, they also chew up the paint on the seat tube pretty badly (for non-experts in bike frame anatomy, the seat tube is the vertical part of the bike frame below the seat post). I wish someone had mentioned this to me before I started using mine -- my wife and I chewed through paint and decals on both of our road bikes and mountain bikes before we realized the cause. I would recommend placing some sort of soft but clingy barrier between this accessory and your frame (for example some Grip Liner - 12" x 4' Black Cushioned Shelf Liner by Contact Brand)

Works much better than expected
I had a problem with the front of my mountain bike coming out of the cradle with my 937 rack. I figured it couldn't hurt to buy one of these.

If you follow the directions exactly and make sure the part is firm then it works like it's suppose to. The front of my bike quit moving around.

I've got a hard tail so it works. The part is designed to ride up against the seat tube right where it meets the top tube so if you have a full suspension bike this may or may not work for you depending on the rear suspension design.
