We chose this roof mount bike rack because it mounts on almost any rack system, even factory racks with wide oval crossbars. The quality is pretty good for the price, and it has survived a 2800 mile road trip. It takes some time to assemble and install, but mounting the bikes is easy, and it adjusts quickly to various frame sizes. The wheel track comes in two pieces and is not as ridgid as the higher priced racks, but once mounted on the car it seems strong enough. All the hardware is plated steel, so expect some rust unless you keep it in the garage. The only thing we don't like is the nylon web strap that holds the back wheel down. It is hard to tighten and remove, and could blow off when there is no bike attached to the rack. The Thule and Yakima have much better captive ratchet straps for the rear wheel, it is almost worth the the price difference for that alone. I may try to fit some of those ratchet straps on this rack. The cap at the back end of the track is only a pressure fit and prone to falling off. I put a screw through the cap on ours, but you could also glue or tape it on.

This product is probably the best low-cost option. The hardware that comes with it to attach it to your mounting bar could be better. It comes with twist knobs, and was probably a little short for my BMW roof rack. I used the stock mounting for a while, then replaced it with some aluminum bar that fit in the channel of my roof rack. Now it's great! The front fork attachment is sturdy and the back attachment is adequate. It would be nice to replace the back buckle with a velcro strap, but it works. I've driven over 1000 miles on the freeway with my bike on this rack (after making the new mounting system) and it worked very well. For long trips you'll probably want to cover the underside of the front with duct tape to keep the honeycomb structure from whistling in the wind above 65MPH.

This rack is certainly not as feature-laden as racks nearly twice its price. It's made in Asia, and the instructions require flexible interpretation. All that being said, it does this job, is inexpensive, and safely got my bike to its destination 360 miles away. If you go with this, I'd recommend getting a cable or chain lock so you can secure your bike to the roof rack.

I question the universality of this product as I had to be a tad creative to get it to work on my Jetta. The Direction left a good amount to imagination, but in the end it appears I have something that will work with my bike. I do question the efficacy of the design for use with a road bike as this unit appears and from some description to work best with a mountain bike. However, at the end of the day it will securely hold my Fuji to the roof.
