Thule Sprint Roof Bike Racks Review - 2009 Honda Civic- Video
Today on our 2009 Honda Civic, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Sprint. This is a roof rack mounted fork clamp style bike rack. It's part number is TH528. We've got the Thule Rapid Traverse Roof Rack System that we've already installed on the Civic, so we'll begin our test fit by placing the rack right up onto our crossbars. As we do this, we want to make sure that the black rubber coated metal straps on each clamp go around the underside of our bars and that the top of our clamps are sitting right on top of the crossbars. We'll then bring those metal coated straps, or the rubber coated metal straps rather, around the underside, fit them into the indentations and then tighten the black levers here on the rear. For the initial tightening process, having them straight out is going to be the quickest way to take up the slack and then you'll cam them over into a lever position to give you a little more torque. With the front nice and secure, we'll move to the rear and essentially we're going to repeat that exact same process. more

We're just going to do these loosely for now to give us a little bit of room to position our rack, we're going to put a second U-bolt through the other side here and we just want to have a little bit of play so we can move it forward and back if we need to. All right, take our wing nuts thread them on this U-bolt as well. I've taken a quick look underneath the rack here just to make sure that our U-bolts are spaced about the same and everything looks square. We'll go ahead and tighten all four of them down.

You can let the rack sit there in the middle and tighten it, it will automatically center, but to make it a little easier on us, I like to pull back on it, so that the front portion of the clamps are right up against that bar. We'll then tighten down the black T handle, bringing the rear portion of our clamp up to meet our bar and then tighten that right down. With our front secure, we can now move here to the rear. more
