Saris Bones 801 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Decide Now

This is a good bike rack, and for the most part solid. Not rock solid though. Here are some things I came across. First it said that it was not available for my 2000 Maxima SE if it has the spoiler. Almost all Maximas have the spoiler. I had already ordered it, so I contacted someone from where I bought it. They said its ok, you can open it and try it out first. I tried and it worked, it isn’t exactly how I would have liked it, but close enough. Problem is the top straps are setup so the buckles lay on the spoiler (prob why they said no spoiler), so I wrapped some foam around them to solve the problem. Also, I noticed one of the thumb locks to tighten one of the arms isn’t really tightening that well any more. Seems that if those were stainless the problem would be solved. I might have to try that, not exactly sure how it goes in, and what it goes into. Yes, you have to keep the feet clean or they will scratch. Also, I noticed the arms aren’t very good at handling kids bikes. My boys both have 20″, but the frames are a little non conventional, so they fit on the first and last positions, leaving the center one to give some room between them (the cranks get in the way of each other). It looks like we are not going to get all of our bikes on at one time, like I hoped. Also, for more “solidity” I bungee the front wheel of me RockHopper to the rack so it doesn’t sway (and it still sways a little bit).Buy Saris Bones 801 3 Bike Trunk Mount Rack Lowest Price, Order Now!
