    Anyone had any bad experiences? I need a new bike steed for the car asap. I can pick one up from down the road so was wondering if they’re good/bad? Thanks.

    Mine seems very solid, but it’s much happier with two bikes than three.

    I’ve got one and while I used it it was fantastic.

    The only Issue I has was mounting a frame with Sus joining in the middle of the TT (ie a swing link bike)but you can get around that.

    Issues:

    a) It was inconvient for boot access on my 3 series saloon
    b) the feet marked my (silver) boot lid a bit – I put bits of chamois leather underneath then after that.

    I only stopped using it cause I went to roof racks.

    Sounds good. They definately look like they’re sturdy. I could live with the rubbing(!). Do they literally fit any car?

    Works great on my girlfriends 206cc – was the only rack that fitted it. As mentioned above, full sussers can be awkward but I’ve always managed to get the bikes on in one config or another.

    I had to return mine because it didn’t fit my car. It just wouldn’t clear the rear spoiler, so I would say that it’s not try that it fits all cars. However, I can imagine that it would fit most.
    I didn’t get as far as trying to fit my bike to it, and I’ve heard that some suspension bikes have problems.

    Mine *just* clears the spoiler on my C-max. If you don’t have a spoiler, I can’t see a problem. You may have to get one of those fake top tubes if you have a full-susser.

    Hi Grant, not sure if i got your email right but just in case… i checked the Saris fit guide and the RS doesn’t come up for my car (c
    class estate) which is surprising. I’ll have to go for a Saris Bones
    3.

    Cheers anyway.

    Didn’t get an email.

    The 3 and the RS are the same rack, just the RS uses ratchet straps for extra security plus they can’t be cut, can also be locked to the car
