Review on Thule Podium Foot Packs: Enhancing Vehicle Roof Rack Performance by Aaron Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Refurbished Thule Bike Rack

I got a new car with a different style of roof rails so I needed new 'legs' for my rack. I've been using Thule systems since the mid 90's so I'm biased and had no experience with brands X or Y. I used the Thule website to make sure I was ordering the correct items. It takes you to retailers so you can quickly find competitive prices - Revain seemed like a good choice to me. The new legs fit my Audi Avant. Rails are great. All instructions are visual, not verbal, so it takes a little while to "understand". However, the installation is not difficult. They feel secure on the rack - I can't move them with "reasonable" force, so I'm sure they won't bike out of the car when I hit 75mph. a bit tricky to install - one of the four doesn't seem to align as well as the other three. I could use my old locks.
