4.0 out of 5 stars My favorite rack...so far, May 14, 2008
By thismember (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
I purchased the 2", 2-bike T2 last year for use on our 2001 Honda Odyssey. Over the years I have had all forms of bike carriers and must admit that the T2 is my favorite one to date.

Here's why:

1) quick and easy to assemble
2) hitch mounted = less wind drag/noise and better fuel economy than roof-mounted alternatives
3) no front wheel removal
4) <30-second bike mount/dismount
5) no finagling to makes bikes fit on rack so as not to scratch adjacent bikes
6) no swaying/banging of bikes against one another
7) accomodates all types of frames without additional adapters
8) "lockable" (with a caveat - see below)
9) once mounted, loaded, and travelling down the road, the entire rack is ROCK-SOLID; it does not rattle nor sway and the overall build quality is sturdy yet relatively lightweight
10) unloaded rack easily swings up and out of the way with the push of a lever. I often leave the rack on the van - if I had the Snug Tite lock, I would probably never remove it!
11) expandable from 2 to 4 bikes

The T2 is not perfect though:

1) the locking front wheel arm is not very secure. Why? All you need to do is deflate the front tire and swing the arm over the wheel or remove the front skewer and lift the fork off and voila - stolen bike! In essence, the lock on the wheel arm is a DETERRENT rather than an effective security device. Instead of buying the lock cores, go out and do what I did - buy 2 cable locks to secure the bikes to the rack. At least with the cable you can secure both wheels and the bike frame to the rack.
2) since this rack does not swing-away to either side (it does swing downward, but only by a few inches), opening the rear hatch is not possible once bikes are mounted. You must first unload the bikes to access anything in the rear storage area (remember I have a van, this may not apply to other vehicle applications).

So, in summary, if you're looking for a sturdy, easy to use, and versatile hitch-mounted rack, I would highly recommend the T2. I just hope Thule resolves issues 1&2 in future generations of the T2 - doing so would make the T2 a nearly perfect bike carrier!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate in convenience and ease of use., July 20, 2007
By Judith Blumhorst (SF Bay area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the BEST bike rack we've ever owned. It takes less than 30 seconds to load or unload a bike. It has changed the way we use our bikes. We take them everywhere now, even to the park for a 20 minute ride.

I leave it on the van all the time. It takes 5 seconds to move it out of the way when I need access to the rear of the van. There are no pins to remove, just flick the lever.

It took me about an hour to assemble it and put it in the receiver. I have had it for several months now and like it better as time goes on.

I have NO quality complaints about anything.

We used to have a two arm rack that swings out of the way. This one is much, much, much quicker and easier to use. We're out of the parking lot with our 3 bikes in under 3 minutes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Secure and sturdy rack, May 7, 2007
By M. Sean Blakley (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this rack on several occasions since I first received it as a gift. If you add the lock cores and the snug tite lock, I believe it is one of the more secure bike racks you'll find.

I disagree that the fact that the device bolts to the receiver defeats the purpose of the receiver hitch. On the contrary, I think the bolt attachment adds some needed security. It comes with the required wrench and takes just a couple of turns to remove. Barely more time than adding a locking pin would take. It helps encourage a potential thief to move on.

It is HEAVY. So installing it is not for those with strong minds but weak backs. I would suggest a buyer get the snug-tite lock for it. Personally, I think it should come with it.
