Thule 517 Peloton Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off-- bikes go on and off in a snap. The very first time I used this rack, it probably took me less than a minute. One of the really nice features is the design of the quick-release skewer. The cam mechanism is built into the front of the tray. This has two advantages:
- The long lever means you can also have a lot of travel in the clamp. The skewer goes from being clamped down to being wide enough to remove the fork, even with "lawyer nipples," just by moving the lever. That means no fiddling with the bolt tension every time you want to put the bike on the rack--just drop it in and clamp it.
- The same lock core that locks the bike to the carrier, locks the carrier to the loadbar. Turn one key and the whole assembly is secured.
The rest of the Peloton gives a similar impression of attentive design. The strap that holds the rear wheel down is easy to attach and easy to release. I would say the only downside is the somewhat 1990s-Volvo aesthetics.

The Raptor Aero is the most versatile and user friendly roof rack that Yakima makes yet comes at an affordable price. Being able to fit bikes with 1 to 3 inch diameter downtubes as well as most cross bars makes it an awesome rack. Just secure the two wheel straps and adjust the one knob to hold the frame in place and your on the road. No need to worry your bikes with thru axles and disc brakes are 100 percent compatible as well. .
