Review by GLRowe
I bought this Thule rack for carrying out tandem bike. Used it for the first time driving from northern CA to Vancouver WA for the start of an 8-day Columbia River bike tour. While other people were struggling to dismount tandems from cars in front of the downtown hotel, we got our bike off in just a few minutes. The only downside is that the height of the rack puts the captain's handlebars so high that the bike can't be mounted into the truckbed in the garage w/o the handlebars hitting the garage door and/or door frame.
However, since buying the Thule rack I found an after-market bed rail rail that can be easily bolted into the truck bed frame, and installed 2 Rocky Mount fork clamps. That lowered the height of the bike handlebars by about 5 inches, so there is now plenty of clearance to leave the garage. The Thule rack was great, but I found a better solution. I'll be willing to resell the Thule rack for a good price to anyone who wants a good, rugged and well engineered rack.
