Garmin Mount Cup Suction watch out

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 17:56:58 +0000

I got same mount with my GPS unit. The mount broke in 3 days. Now I must hold the GPS or put it on passenger seat (if no passenger) and just listen to the instructions.

I don’t like the design. It has the extra middle unit that does nothing more but made this thing hard to use. It can be made much simpler. Why not a simple mount without the extra middle unit? You can already plug the charger to GPS power slot! Why the extra step and extra unit? This is just a waste of materials without adding additional value.

I really need a mount to use the GPS. However, if I order this one and spend another $20, I would have no confidence on the new one. It may break in 3 days, or have other problems as described by the reviewers.

And how about the hassle of returning a $20 thing and going through the laborious warrantee process? That was the reason I visited this accessory item. Well, after seeing all reviews, I would rather keep my $20 and save myself from some more disappointment.

After many years with an upright counter balance scale which took up way too much room and was hard to calibrate, I decided to buy a modern, well reviewed new one! I liked the design of the EatSmart Digital scale very much and the ease of reading the numbers and its accuracy was a big factor in my decision to purchase it. I love it…it gives me a quick and easy to view reading and the design is very sleek and pleasing. So I am a happy customer! I would buy it again…Thanks!

Mount Rack Saris 2-Bike Trunk 805 Bones cool

Love my rack…. This bike rack looks quite complicated when you take Saris Bones 805 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack out of the box, but I had it figured out and on my car in just a few minutes. My bike really feels secure when its on the car and I just don’t worry about it. Its easy to fold and store in my trunk when I am riding and don’t want anybody ripping it off. Love it and have recommended it to friends and co-workers.

great rack. Very sturdy and easy to use. Looks nice as well, would recomend this rack to all.

Works Great on my Miata. This is a beautifully designed product. I’m using it to haul one road bike on the turnk of my Miata. All the other manufacturers said I’d have to install a trailer hitch to haul bikes on a Miata. This works great, leaves no marks, folds up nice and easy to store in my trunk while riding.

Details about 2-Bike Rack Allen Trunk Mount Deluxe

admin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:56:44 +0000

Unable to carry two bikes. I’ve had two problems with the Allen bike carrier. When I took Allen Deluxe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack out of the box, apparently fully assembled, it would not fit on the car. I had to take it appart and reverse one set of contact pads. Fine, and it was a nice light and easy to put on carrier. Then came the show stopper, when the second bike’s pedal jammed into the deraillor of the first bike. I tried reversing the second bike, but then the handle bars interfered. The Allen carrier’s bars are too short for our two normal road bikes, and we have since bought a larger and heavier trunk mount carrier that is a much better design and fully supports both our bikes much more stably.

Works just fine…. I’ve been pretty nervous looking for a decent but affordable bike rack. After initially getting an Outback Rack from Target, I was disappointed by the flimsy construction and had to return it. I did some more researching and wasn’t able to find any reviews for low-mid-priced racks online. Found a Bell 3-bike rack from Walmart and later on a Bell 2-bike rack from Sports Authority. These were a lot sturdier but also quite heavy.

I have a mountain bike that weighs about 35lbs. A friend of mine has a road bike that weighs about 25lbs. I kept looking and finally settled on the Allen because of the price, design and construction.

(I took a star off for aesthetics. The foam supports are grey. The top and bottom struts are unpainted silver aluminum, and the caps at the end of the rack are white.)

A couple of things I learned:

* cloth/nylon strap tie downs are better than plastic or rubber which become brittle after repeated use and exposure to different weather conditions

* use of lighter weight aluminum is better than steel

* the more anchor points to your car the better (3 is the minimum)

* put the heavier bike on the slot closer to the car

* women’s bikes or bikes without a horizontal beam from the seat to the handlebar column will require a “bike adaptor”

* when not in use, remove the rack from the car to prevent it from being stolen or the foam padding from melting onto your car

* lock your bike(s) to the rack with a separate chain

* use common sense and don’t put more than the number of bikes the rack was designed for

* drive more slowly and carefully on uneven streets

Hope this review helped!

Allen Bike Rack. For the money, this is a terrific bike rack. I’ve just used it for short trips, however the bikes were very stable
