 "Not for 2008 Trek 7300" 2008-08-10
By Don Jr (Rochester, NY USA)
I would be careful if you own a 2008 or newer Trek My girlfriends Trek 7300 didn't fit AT ALL on this rack. The forks hit your round bars before they get close to the Copperhead. Get the Yakima Viper and be done with it. The Viper works with every bike. Don't bother with the Steelhead either if you have a Trek 7300. The right fork bottoms out on that.

 "Worth the extra dough..." 2009-02-19
By Michael Couto (New Bedford, MA USA)
I have an older Peloton (517) but bought two of the Echelon (518) and really enjoy the difference in quality and ease of use. The head is heavy and sturdy and the locks are easier to reach. Actually, everything else (the tire tray) is about the same as the Peloton - it is the head and the mounting bracket that make them different. The bracket is also extremly solid, securing the carrier completely across the base of the head. The Peloton has more of a U-bolt type of bracket and it always makes me feel as if the bike could wobble a bit at high speed.

I am a faithful Prime member and truly buy most everything from Amazon, including expensive cameras and tools. But for some reason I actually had a couple of returns with this product. I had ordered another Peloton first, but it came with a bolt that was not threaded properly, so I returned it and got an Echelon but it had scratches on the tray, so I returned that also and got the two Echelons at East Providence Cycle, my local bike shop.

Let me also add that no store is more accomodating with returns than Amazon. I am always confident in my purchases that they will be stressfree that way.

 "Find something else." 2008-09-16
By Kevin McCulloch (Denver, CO)
I owned this product for about a year. From the beginning the locking mechanism on it felt a little odd. It never quite fit right. Everything else about it seemed pretty nice. As I was driving down the hightway a heard a rattle on my roof and stopped to realize the lock had fallen out of the rack and onto the highway. A friend who worked in a Ski shop said he had never heard of this before and later discovered that Thule issued a notice that they were having problems with the rack specific to the locks. However, because it was only a security issue and not a safety issue it would not be an official "recall". It took forever for me to find someone to return the rack locally and get a refund. So I guess as long as your okay with someone stealing your bike and losing your expensive Thule locks on the highway then Thule is happy to have you buy their products.

 "Gets the job done" 2008-09-18
By D. Whiting
This product works great for me. It fits my car and bike just fine with my Yakima rack at 32" bar spacing. I've used it with two different road bikes (one is a 'normal' size, one a smaller size) and it worked great for both.



I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting out of this product. I wouldn't call any of the Yakima rack products extremely secure. If someone wanted to take my rack, they could pry the clips out and walk off with it. Also, all the rack bike mounts I've seen use the tension between the fork and the skewer to secure the bike. Apply enough force and you can probably pull it out of the mount. I'm never going to leave the bike on my car anyways, so it's moot.



It works great and the price is right. As long as your bar spacing is in the acceptable range, you're fine.

 "Poor security, measure bike and vehicle before buying" 2007-12-12
By Anonymous
Before buying this mount, measure the distance between your bike's fork dropouts to the rear wheel. Then look at the recommended crossbar spacing for your vehicle in the Yakima Q Clip instruction booklet. If the measurements are not similar (ie. rear wheel not centered over the rear crossbar, short roofline and long wheelbase bike), then the rear wheel will hang far behind the rear crossbar and there's a good chance that the rear towers will shift forward when transporting your bike. This can result in roof damage from the shifting clips and the bike's rear wheel contacting and scratching the roof.



The Boa is Yakima's most economical rooftop bike mount and it shows. If you live in a low crime neighborhood and remove your bike and rack when you are away from your car, this mount will probably work just fine for you. Or if you absolutely need to minimize the footprint of the rack when it's off your vehicle.



The Boa pod is mostly made of glass-filled polymer. There is a flimsy plastic cover that is secured by the skewer and covers the heads of the 3 hex mounting bolts. Unfortunately, even when locked, this cover can easily be pried and cracked open by hand revealing the 3 bolt heads. I complained and Yakima responded that they only provide theft deterrence and cannot guarantee against theft. This does not even approach deterrence.



The Boa mount comes with Yakima's universal locking skewer with a polymer lever, stainless rod, and round steel nut. If the skewer is closed and locked but the handle is in the wrong orientation and there's insufficient tension, then it's a simple matter to rotate the handle counterclockwise to loosen the nut and steal your bike. The lever and cam are plastic and will deform and wear with use. When no bike is loaded, the only way to secure the mount is to tighten the nut further and then close and lock the skewer. However, adjusting the nut defeats the purpose of providing a long-throw skewer.



Adding a long tray converts the mount into a Copperhead mount. However, given the security concerns, I returned this mount and purchased a Yakima Steelhead mount instead. The Steelhead has a clamshell clamping design and is mostly metal. It comes with a stainless metal skewer that has a special locking pin and e-clip on the nut. When the skewer is locked, the clamshell cannot open and the skewer nut cannot be removed even if it is not tightened and tensioned against the mount body. As with the Boa, make sure that the skewer lever rests against the crossbar when locked so that it can only be turned clockwise tightening (and not loosening) the nut.



If you don't want to spend much more than the cost of the Boa but want to use your SKS lock cores, consider purchasing a Steelhead body (new or used) and a Rocky Mounts Lariat tray. You will need to drill a hole in the tray to mount the Yakima head. The Rocky Mounts crossbar mount is compatible with Yakima's round bars and comes with all hardware, and their wheel strap is also less expensive than Yakima's.



If you are using or considering Yakima Q Towers, I have a separate review of that product on Amazon.

 "Cleverly engineered" 2009-06-22
By Andrew Lorente
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.

By W. Krekeler
Use the Delta Bike Hitch to create your own secure truck bed, or in car vertical bike rack. I mounted two of these to a 2x6, covered the 2x6 with fabric, and bought two locks. All < $60 for a custom bike rack that lets me mount 2 bikes inside a Honda Fit without damaging the seats, or worrying about the paint on the outside of the car. Product is as described and works well.

I have a full size van that I often leave my bikes in. I replaced the regular mounts with the locking Delta mounts, and feel significantly more at ease leaving my valuable bikes locked securely inside.

 "Well worth the money" 2007-04-24
By JohnyO (Ohio)
I bought these mounts to make a rack for my truck bed. I had a cheap Harbor Freight cargo bar that I mounted two of these to. They work great. The lock tab is great feature that doesn't come on the $20 bike shop fork mounts.



One slight shortcoming would be the difficulty opening the lock once closed. A small tool to pry the lever from the lock tab would help.



Overall for the same price as one name brand mount from an LBS I had two delivered to my house.
