 "Nice looking fairing" 2010-01-30
By Rowernurse (Connecticut)
I like the appearance and quality of the fairing but it does not fit on racks that have the rail-type bike holders that extend over the front and rear crossbars. The brackets that attach the fairing to the crossbar are too short for that type of rack. I found I could not use it once I put it together and can't return it because it won't fit back in the box.

 "Awesome!!" 2009-11-05
By Juan F. Upegui (Raleigh, NC)
This product is indeed amazing. The yakima fairing fulfills its purpose of substantially minimizing the loud wind blowing noise when a roof-rack is installed. This product is extremely easy to install (about 10 minutes tops). Besides the it primary purpose, it also gives you vehicle a make-over, gives it a sporty look to it. I would definitely recommend this product!!!



Cons: It can definitely be cheaper for two reasons: 1) flexy material looks that it can go for less. 2) the front of the fairing says "Yakima", its like free advertisement.

 "a must have" 2009-11-05
By K. MacDonald
Without this, your roof rack will create a great deal of turbulence and wind noise. Works perfectly and couldn't be easier to install.

 "Yak Fairing" 2007-11-21
By C. Trevillyan (Fresno, CA)
I was skeptical when adding this to my rack but 2 days after installing crossbars on my honda civic hybrid, I couldnt hear anything but witd and I watched my gas mileage plummit, so I invested 30$ into a fairing and back to "good as new" condition. If you have a yak rack, get a fairing!!!

 "Oh So Quiet!" 2007-11-03
By Carrie Bland
My spouse discouraged me from buying a fairing when I purchased the roof rack. BOY was it loud! Without a fairing it makes an incredibly ethereal howling noise if you drive above 30 MPH. The guys at REI suggested wrapping string around the poles. That did help a bit but nothing can compare to the fairing. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first but then it went on sale at amazon and so I bought it. I am SO glad I did. What a difference it makes. No more howling. It's not silent but it's close enough for the convenience of having a roof rack. Don't hesitate. If you get the roof rack, get the fairing.

 "Terrible system...stay away!" 2008-07-08
By K. Kramer (College Station)
I own this system, and last week lost my $1200 windsurfer while going about 45 mph in a national park. It is terrible.



You can't get the system tight without damaging the newer, more delicate boards. In my case the strap simply broke. You have to hook it on the rack, then tighten through a slot, then take the ends of a rubber cord back into a "cincher." My cord snapped, and the board went flying.



Our local windsurfing shop also says stay away...they know of others who have had problems.



The racks are well-made, just this StrapThang is not good. Get a webbed strap or something more sturdy.

 "plastic, rubber and nylon for fifty bucks?" 2005-09-29
By samba nova (Topanga Canyon)
OK, first off I'll admit I have two pairs of strap thangs on my car (left and right side of the racks) and I use them nearly everyday for carring my boards to the beach. I just think that this item, like all yakima and thule merchandise is WAY OVER PRICED! All it is is some plastic, some nylon, some rubber and a brass bolt. Jeez...fifty bucks?

Oh, one more thing- it takes a lot of fiddling around to get them adjusted right.

The really good thing is that your boards are pretty secure and that's the important thing.

Lastly- when the rubber bands wear out don't sweat it. Replace with bungee cord material available at a well stocked hardware store.

 "Best Towers on the Market" 2008-07-31

I have two sets of these for a total of 4. I use them on my 4 Runner, with 66" cross bars. I can fit a 35" wide Canoe and two mountain bikes on this rack. I have SKS lock cores for all 4, and then cores for my two Viper roof top bike racks. I have the gunwale brackets for my canoe. This whole system I have cost aton of money, but my canoe was over 2 grand and we have over $1400 in bikes on this unit. I feel very safe driving 60 mph through the winding roads of the Adirondack Mountains with this stuff on top of my truck.

 "Super High foot, very BAD idea" 2009-10-22
By Richard C. Layne, III (Newport Beach, CA, United States)
My rating is based on the design of the "Super High" 953 foot only, I imagine the "low" and perhaps even the "high" would be just fine. The build quality was absolutely top notch, and assembly/installation was very easy.



What is a problem is putting this long of a "lever" on to something so fragile as a rain gutter (and I have very strong rain gutters). There is simply no way to do this safely and effectively. After doing a little searching it seems most folks who buy these go an average of 6-12 months before damage to their vehicle occurs from the forces applied by such a high foot design with such a narrow base. I would not trust it to carry a package of toilet paper. Thule should have known better, they should NEVER have made the "Super High" version of these feet.

 "An excellent base support system to mount your choice of gear" 2006-11-13
By Ahmed R. Shah (FPO, AP USA)
I have owned this base support rack system for a long time and loved it's versatility and simplicity. Available with locks at each foot that work with a single key, you have the satisfaction of knowing your roof rack is secure.

The Thule 300 system works with cars equipped with rain gutters and is one of the most universal roof rack systems available. The load bars are also available in different lengths to accommodate the width of your particular vehicle's roof.

Thule manufactures a large number of carriers that can be attached to the LB50 load bars including bike trays, ski racks, boat carriers etc.



If your car has rain gutters, and you are looking for a good, sturdy, versatile base support system, look no further. Thule 300 is the best!

 "Change from older model." 2009-07-06
By Rick (Bloomington, MN USA)
I have had one of these for a number of years. When I purchased it, it came with completely separate parts for both the 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. No adapter needed for the 2". Now, it looks like it is basically the 1-1/4" model with a shim for the 2" receiver. My old vehicle was 2", now I have a 1-1/4" receiver. My problem now is that I am trying to track down parts so that it will work with the smaller receiver. [...] Now, the Saris site is displayed. For me, it has been a solid unit, but I do agree with the comments on the straps. I bungee everything and it works fine.

 "Nice for the price" 2008-08-27
By MLipenk (MN)
I have owned this Graber bike rack for about 5 years now. My wife picked one up from our local Target store for my birthday one year. In the 5 years it has traveled thousands of miles between the states of Wis., MN, and ND with not so much as a hiccup. I have carried 4 bikes on it, including 2 adult and 2 kids bikes.



One of the kids bikes is oddly shaped yet still fits fine (20"). One of the kids bikes is an 16" and works as well. It is a bit of a stretch to get any bike on the spot between the rack and the vehicle. I usually put the smallest bike back there.



I have had vehicles with both a 1 1/4" receiver and a 2" receiver. If you use the included threaded pin with the tightening shim, there is next to no wobble with either configuration, even with the plastic 2" adapter. The shim goes inside the square pipe of the bike rack. Then when you insert the pin with the threads near the head, through the receiver and the bike rack tube and the shim bolt, and ratchet it down tight, everything becomes nice and snug. I have to wonder if other reviewers correctly used the shim or if they are using the shim at all.



I also like the fact that this rack folds down and allows you to get into the back of your vehicle. A lot of racks in this price range do not have that feature. You can also easily fold down the horizontal bars that hold the bikes for more compact storage in your garage. The straps also work fine, although the little nubs that hold the straps do tend to mis-shape a little bit. However, I have never had one unstrap by itself in the 5 years I've had it.



Yes you can get fancier, more refined bike racks from Thule or Yakima and others, but you will also pay an arm and a leg. I agree with one reviewer that the large tube construction seems like over-kill and adds a lot of weight, but this Graber is also SOLID and yet won't break your budget. This Graber has given me no reason to look elsewhere for another rack, nor consider upgrading. I have been happy with it.

 "Heed the warnings when using with 2 inch Hitch " 2008-06-27
By Young (San Jose, CA, USA)
Bought this product based on price and review, thinking that the "sway" problem is due to wrong installation, and not with the product. I was wrong. I have 2 inch Hitch, and using the included plastic adapter, and the retaining pin that tightens with a screw on the other side (which is a hack in itself), I loaded up two adult and two childrens bikes. Initial sway was concerning but not enough to stop the trip. The sway increased over 300 mile trip to about 0.5 foot left and right (total play of 1 foot), and increased to 1.5 feet total on the return trip. All the sway action eroded the inside groove of the plastic adapter. I have a Cadillac Escalade (same as GMC, Chevy, etc) factory 2 inch hitch. Perhaps people who reported no or little sway problem with 2 inch adapter have different mechanicals that helps the situation (longer overlap perhaps between the 2 inch rack and the hitch mount insertion... I am guessing at this point). I am returning this to the target store (or gift it to a friend w/ 1.25 inch hitch, if they don't take it back).



Aside from this glaring 2 inch hitch adapter problem:



Pro:

1. Built Solid - The whole rack and bikes are secure together -- the sway probelms is at the hitch mount for the whole package.

2. Up to three bikes could be carried far enough out from the back of the car to be concerned about scratching the finish. The fourth one mounted near the car should be secured with bunge cords to the other bikes to keep it away from the car.

3. Even with four bikes, I had access to the rear loading window (push out a handle bar a bit).

4. The retaining straps worked well (I understand the perception of flimsiness), but had no issues on mine. The weight of the bikes keeps the bike in place in the groove, and strap is there to position them.

5. Price - Good price and good product -- had I have 1.25 inch Hitch.



Con:

1. 2. 3. Sway problem with 2 inch Hitch.

4. The horizontal bars (where bikes rest) are secured with big hand-tightening screw/handle combo w/ no locking washiers, etc. I could imagin that if I am not mindful of this and tighten it occationally, bikes could fall off.



Well, I researched for the replacement, and found Softride 25863 Access Dura 2. It is 2.5 time the cost ($246.37 from Amazon), but it is better than any other one I've seen, with vertical tilt down for a full rear access of the car/truck. Should have bought that in the first place.

 "Piece of junk" 2007-05-31
By A. Rodriguez (Macon, GA)
If you are going to use this in a 2" receiver, don't even bother to get it, it is entirely too unstable and unsafe. Shell out a few more $$ for a better one.



My advice is AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE...

 "Wobbly with poor security for bikes" 2007-05-13
By Swabbie (Georgia)
I received this rack as a gift, so I didn't get to evaluate it before purchase. I have a 2" hitch receiver. The included 2" adapter is worthless, wobbly, and unstable. The reason is the use of nylon and loose tolerance in the adapter. Had to buy a steel adapter that fit from another vendor. Don't trust the included cheap plastic bike straps unless you want to risk losing your bikes to following traffic. Use plently of tiedowns that you provide yourself. The horizonal bars that hold the bikes are attached to the upright pipe by screw knobs that are only hand-tightened and can back out. The upright pipe is the one thing that is over-engineered and more sturdy than needed. I would strongly recommend a potential purchaser spend more money for a better carrier. It might be OK for taking a kid's bike to a neighborhood park, but that's about it.
