Review on Silver Thule 532 Freeride Bicycle Carrier by Gabriela Kopcewicz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not my best purchase, could have found something else.

Used with Turtle air 1 trunk This is my first experience with mounting a bike and maybe other mounts are not better, but the installation was very difficult and I really did not like it. We'll see in a month, maybe I'll adapt or modify somehow the T-shaped fasteners with latches. Pros below: In general, the parts are solid, and seem reliable. The bike is pretty solid. Got cons: 1. What I specifically didn’t like was the T-shaped fender mounts, when you insert them into the wing-shaped crossbar, they begin to bend and stick, as a result, putting the mount on the wing-shaped trunk is not very pleasant. When installed on the trunk, the far t-shaped mount can enter the groove by half, or not get in at all, then you pull it out and start all over again (and the problem is that the fasteners dangle). Fasteners must be fixed, at least along one of the axes and evenly easy to go into the groove! 2. The stroke of the latch at the attachment to the bicycle frame is very small, respectively, in order to clamp / unclench it, you have to unscrew it for a long time.
