CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro Winter Training Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this from the advice of a friend that is a pro cyclist.
Very quite and easy to set up! Having never used a trainer before I was a little apprehensive. The set-up took all of 2-5 minutes. Easy!
Much more of workout than I would have thought! I watch movies on the computer while spinning in the morning and weekends.
I feel that I got my money's worth!

Saris T-Bones 2-Bike Urban Hitch Rack & Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK... I haven't seen any reviews for this rack, so I thought I would write one and spare you all the hassle of owning it and going through what I went through...
Let me start off by saying that this is a really cool design, and it would def be a nice rack IF it worked as shown in the video, BUT it doesn't!! Every time the temp would get above the 80s my rack would NOT "slide" on and off the base. In fact, it was very hard to get on and off... and was often stuck for an extended period of time and I could not get into my trunk! Talk about a PAIN!! I actually had the company I ordered it from send out a new receiver part thinking mine was defective... It worked fine for about a week UNTIL the temp went up again. I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing the plastic expands in the heat???
If you buy this rack and you live anywhere that experiences a humid summer season be prepared to 'fight' with it to get it on and off. I'm talking full body weight leaning on it practically jumping up and down to get it on... and then not even being able to get it off. IT'S MORE OF A WORKOUT THAN RIDING THE BIKE!
I eventually returned it (fully assembled because I could not get it apart) for a new rack. BUMMER!!

Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this rack to haul my bike around. I drive a Cadillac CTS-v. The rack works as Saris markets. I have not hauled three bikes but have done two. No problems what so ever. The rack secures nicely to my trunk lid. The fit is a little awkward as the suction cup brace things don't fit well on the edge of my trunk lid BUT the rack still secures nicely - doesn't move around, doesn't damage the pain, doesn't bend or scratch the trunk lid.
One thing that was not mentioned in the instructions is the fact that the front wheel kind of swings (from the unrestricted turning of the bars and wheel) back and forth in the wind. I used a small bungee cord to tie the front wheel to the rack. This isn't a big deal and the wheel wasn't turning back and forth to much but I simply want everything solidly attached and not moving. Plus if for some reason my skewer decided to vibrate loose and let my $400 front wheel fall from the bike, the bungee will hold on to it. - probably a bit over protective on my part.
Overall this rack is nice. The locking straps work great and the key really does as advertised. They have plenty of torque with the ratchet system so be careful not to over tighten. The bike is very stable once strapped in. The straps themselves are VERY easy to secure and to release. Installing the rack on the car took a little effort the first time. Now it takes all of 30 seconds - 45 seconds if I lock the straps. Taking it off consists of giving the straps some slack and then simply removing the rack from the car. Literally it takes 15-30 seconds to remove it from the car. You can open the trunk with the rack on. You may have to assist it when you hit the "pop trunk button" but opening the trunk is no problem - obviously don't try to open the trunk with a bike on the rack.
Great rack overall. I would highly recommend this rack!

One of the annoyances with trunk-mounted racks has always been the straps. With the Saris Bones RS 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, the straps have been eliminated. In their place is a ratcheting system with rubber-coated clips and steel-belted bands for a quick, secure fit on a wide variety of vehicles, including sedans and minivans. In addition to eliminating clumsy, unreliable straps, this rack also eliminates the hassle of wrestling bikes onto a roof rack. The Bones RS is at the most convenient place possible--right in front of you, on the rear of your vehicle. The pivoting, anti-sway frame grips can be tilted for greater bike stability and the support arms can be moved closer together or further apart to fit just about any bike from road to mountain, adult to child.

Saris T-RAX Basic 5 Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Recevier) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this rack for 5 years and it is without doubt the strongest, most reliable and durable product I have ever used. Too bad the photo is the 2 bike version with the 1 and 1/4" hitch. It really doesn't do this rack justice.
I have the 2" - 5 bike version and I can honestly attest to carrying 5 bikes on it without any problems. If you have a womans bike with the low swooping step through bars, you WILL need the Saris top bar adapter. Get over it! There is no way to make it work without it. This is not a design flaw there is no way to accomadate these kind of bikes!
I have a carbon fiber road bike and it gently keeps it in place and with the 3rd vertical tie down it keeps all bikes from swinging. I have taken all of my friends and their bikes to various road rides and carried them trouble free and rock solid. I have 4 grandkids with bikes and carry them equally as well.
If you have a large group of bikes to carry......BUY THIS RACK! period. You won't be disappointed. The only con that I have with it is I had to buy a seperate anti rattle device so when the bikes were on the rack it would not wobble from side to side. Obviously a 2" receiver and a 2" rack are going to be slightly different sizes so they fit into one another. (See photos).
After that it is rock solid with up to 150 pounds of bikes. I leave it on all summer and only take it off to go through car washes. I bought a 15' security strap with a stainless steel master lock and attach it to the rack and hitch for use when I leave the bikes unattended....dinner/shopping and any other pit stops.
I am sure that the smaller versions of this rack are just as nice so don't hesitate to buy whichever one fits your needs. It may not be the prettiest rack around, but it does what it is supposed to do flawlessly. There is something to be said for things that work as advertised.

You can empty your garage in one fell swoop, and be on the trail before the dew has burned off with this 5 bike receiver hitch mount bike rack from Saris. Made from strong and lightweight 2-1/2-inch steel tubing, the T-RAX features a 2-inch receiver hitch mount engineered to accommodate up to five bikes of almost any size with a tongue weight of 300 pounds and a carrying capacity of 35 pounds per bike.
The HitchTite base connects easily to your hitch receiver, and allows the rack to be tilted for rear door access. The soft rubber hold-downs and pivoting anti-sways ensure that the rack doesn't make direct contact with the bike frame yet are adjustable so you can eliminate the wobble and pitch that can damage both of your vehicles. The ratcheting carrier arms with QuickTite knobs secure your bike in one smooth motion, and make it possible to fold them out of your way when they're not in use.

Saris Bones 801 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Google the reviews of this rack and be impressed. No worries about corrosion or rust. Very stable. I got the 3 bike rack even though I have 2 bikes just to make sure I had enough room between the bikes. Easy to install, but one caveat - make sure you do NOT tighten the locking knobs for each leg too tightly or you will strip them and they will be a little loose - not a huge problem, but for peace of mind you want them snug and not loose.
I can also say this for Saris - EXCELLENT customer service. I called to get some replacement knobs, and an extra stabilizer strap since my bike is an oddball and needed an extra length of strap to secure the seat-post tube. I was expecting (and had no problem with) paying for these items. Guess what? No charge - very nice and quick shipping.

Form and function collide with the Saris Bones three-bike trunk mount rack. Conceived by famed designer Fabio Pedrini, the Bones is more than just another rear-mounted rack. Rather, the gallery-worthy rack is a testament to style, design, convenience, and durability, with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from Bicycling Magazine. An efficient bike rack needs to be more than just a way to transport your bike from point A to point B. It needs to be easy to use, easy to install, and easy on two of your most prized possessions: your bike and your vehicle. Fortunately, the Bones meets the above conditions with room to spare, with ratchet straps that keep your bikes secured to the rack arms, exclusive anti-sways, and articulated rubber feet to protect the finish on your vehicle. As a result, nothing will get damaged in transport, including your nerves. In addition, the Bones is a breeze to install, with vinyl-coated hooks that strap securely to the car with spring buckles. And the arched design fits practically any vehicle, from sedans to minivans, and even most cars with spoilers.
Constructed from heavy-duty, 100-percent recyclable plastic, the Bones rack is the strongest and most environmentally friendly rack on the market. The injection-molded arms and legs will never rust, and are capable of supporting up to three bikes with ease. Plus, the arms separate the bikes on different levels to ensure that they won't rub or touch during transport. And because it's a trunk-mounted rack, your bikes are always accessible and easy to put in place. No overhead lifting, twisting, balancing, or hefting required, letting you save your energy for the actual ride. All Saris bike racks carry a lifetime warranty.
Note: The pink and purple cause-conscious racks let you support more than your bike, as $5 from the sale of each rack goes toward either breast cancer research (pink) or research into the cures for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma (purple).
