Thule Roadway 5 Bike Folding Bike Rack Review - etrailer.com

www.etrailer.comVideos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information. Today we are going to show you part number TH915 from Thule. What we have here is a folding 5 bike carrier for 2 inch trailer hitches. This is their Roadway model. We will go ahead and install it on our 2 inch receiver hitch and show you the features of this. We will go ahead and show you how this works. Line up the hole. And instead of a hitch pin, it does come with this bolt that you just thread it into the bike rack. Once you tighten the bolt down it acts as an anti sway device also. It makes a permanent connection to the hitch. Alright, this lower latch that you saw before lets you tilt the bike rack, so if it is on the back of your SUV, you can get back to the inside of your vehicle. To get the bicycle rack ready to accept the bikes, you need to pull on this latch up here, and pull the arms up into position, and it is ready to haul your bikes. Alright we will go ahead and throw on our bike now and show you how it works. It is pretty simple, just lay it on the cradles and then take your straps and pull them tight over your bike. Same thing with your one in the back, you can pull it over and there you have it. Your bike is secured and you can do that with 4 more bikes. Next we will show you the cradles on here which are really nice. You can rotate them left or right as you need for the bike and also you can scoot them back and forth ...

Yakima Versus Thule - World Cup Rack Match

!±8± Yakima Versus Thule - World Cup Rack Match

Is it ironic or by design that the two most popular roof rack manufactures - Yakima racks and Thule racks - come from two very similar cities on opposite sides of the world? Sharing extremely northern coordinates, foul weather, manufacturer-based economies and a dense population of outdoorsy recreationalists, Beaverton, Oregon and Malmö, Sweden are vying for the prize of the roof rack capitol of the world.

At first glance, this grudge match seems a little lopsided. With over three-hundred thousand permanent residents, Malmö out sizes tiny Beaverton by nearly three people to one. Their manufacture infrastructure is steeped in the ancient arts of ship building and concrete production, and they boast a primeval city charter that dates back to the 13th century. With credentials like these, Malmö certainly has the goods to crank out all the roof racks, bike racks and cargo boxes the recreational market can sustain.

But, never count plucky little Beaverton, Oregon out. Located in the United States' Pacific northwest, the new worlds' final frontier, Beaverton's population is made up of the descendants of frontiersmen, explorers, pioneers and on-the-lamb criminals seeking solace and a remote place to hide. Founded in 1893, Beaverton is barely a hundred years old, but its colorful history makes it one of Oregon's most legendary cities. Home to Linux, the legendary open-source operating system (ironically written by a Swedish speaking Finn who relocated to Beaverton) and footwear giant Nike, Beaverton also has what it takes to satiate the world's thirst for high-quality recreation gear in the form of roof racks and bike racks.

After much research and investigation, we conclude that the build quality and product offerings between Yakima and Thule are quite similar. In fact, to muddle the issue even further, most of their accessories work with the others' gear! So basically, since we can't decide between Yakima racks and Thule racks based on product offerings, all that's left to do is decide which city, Malmö or Beaverton, you most identify with.

So what's it gonna be? Brilliant Beaverton with its shoe factories, computer nerds, coffee achievers, and 4 seasons of rain, sleet and snow? Or, magnificent Malmö with its ship yards, post industrialists, glüg guzzlers, and 4 seasons of rain, sleet and snow? Well, this is one hot-button issue that is obviously too complex for this author's expertise or this article's depth, so the simple answer: the world and the outdoor recreational population may never know!

Hang2 Hitch Accessory Storage Rack Review - etrailer.com

www.etrailer.com Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information. Today we are going to show you part number 912H2, the Hang2 by Boone Outdoor Hardware. What we have here is a wall mounted trailer hitch accessories storage rack. Basically this is a nice little deal that you can bolt to the inside of your garage wall, or any wall, for that matter. And you can use it to organize your bicycle rack, cargo carriers, the Boone tailgate tables, drawbars or other hitch gear. It maximizes a lot of storage in just a little bit of space. We will go ahead and add a couple of accessories onto it and show you how valuable this part is. First off, we will start with a regular Class III receiver. Simply slide it on and then this pin holds it in place, and then this little safety pin will keep it from falling off. Now one accessory is out of the way and we will add our bicycle rack onto it. Slide it into place and and install your clip. The Hang2 does come stocked with two 5/8 hitch pins. If you do have a Thule or Yakima rack, you will need a different type of pin for that, and you would need to see part number 90H2S. And there you have it for the Hang2 by Boone Outdoor Hardware, part number 912H2.
