Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda Odyssey- Video
Today on our 2016 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule T2 Pro XTB Two-Bike Platform Rack, part number TH9034XT. Now, one of the really nice things about this bike rack is, is that we don't have to remove our bike to get into our back hatch. If you come down here, grab this lever, the bike rack will tilt down. Then from either side of the vehicle, we still have access to get anything in or out that we may need. To put the back back into position, simply come back, lift up on the lever, and you'll hear it lock into place. Now, there's no frame contact on the bike the way it's mounted. You have a wheel hook up here in the front, and you have a strap, a ratcheting strap, back here. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Honda Odyssey- Video
Today in this 2013 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be testing the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack. Part number TH912XTR. As you can see we already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go ahead and take a closer look. Now, how the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have 3 points of contact with the bike's frame: we're going to have two straps up top here, and one strap of. One strap of to the side which is going to access an anti-sway strap, to keep it from going back and forth, hitting the bike rack and possibly the bike in front of it. Let's go and take the bike off and set it aside. Now once you remove the straps it's always a good habit to actually put them back in place because you don't want them flapping around when you're driving, you don't want to loose them while you're driving. Now a fact, once you get into situations in which you're in close court, such as parking garages or parking in general, these arms do fold down but before I do that, I'm going to go ahead and give you some measurements. The first is going to be how much distance is added to the vehicle once the bike rack is installed, and we go ahead and measure from the bumper. So, from this point down, we have about 27 inches. For ground clearance, which is going to be this point right here, it's about 10 1/2 inches, and then the closest point is going to be this gray lever here, that's going to be about 3 inches. Now, as I said earlier, these do fold down, you just go to this gray lash here, lift up, let it fall, and once you hear that click, they're secured in place. Now, at this point the only measurement that changes is the over all distance, which is now, with the straps all the way... more

It's part number is Th9029. To begin our test fit, we are going to slide the shank of the rack right into the receiver tube of our hitch. As we slide it in, we'll want to keep an eye on the threaded hole and the shank of the rack to see when that lines up with our pinhole. With those lined up, we'll take our anti-rattle bolt. We'll thread that in, and we'll tighten it down with our wrench. Now in this position, our rack's going to offer us about 9 inches worth of ground clearance. more

Saris Freedom Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Honda Odyssey- Video
Today on our 2012 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be test fitting the Saris Freedom 4 Bike Rack platform style for 2" hitches, part number SA4414B. We'll begin our test fit by inserting the shank of the rack into the hitch on our vehicle. You'll want to watch for the hitch pin holes to line up. With those in line, we'll take the threaded anti-rattle hitch pin bolt and thread that into place.

Once we get this hand-tight, we'll go ahead and take a wrench and finish it off the rest of the way. Tightening this down will help eliminate any movement in the shank of the rack, which helps eliminate movement overall when going down the road. We'll attach our clip to the other side and grab a couple of measurements. The closest part of the rack to the vehicle is going to be here, this wheel cradle, or excuse me the frame cradle, that measures about 3-1/4" from the bumper. more
