Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Ford Focus- Video

Today on our 2013 Ford Focus we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rack, Part Number TH912XTR. Now our bike's gonna be held onto our bike rack at three points. We're gonna have two straps. They're gonna go over our cross tube here on the top and then right here on our vertical support we're gonna have another strap that's gonna act as our anti-sway. Now the way we're gonna remove it is we're just gonna pull on the straps and release it from the holder right here. Now these are rubber straps so we won't have to worry about scratching our bike or in the paint on it. With all the straps loosened we can take our bike off and take a closer look at our bike rack. The cradles here are gonna have several grooves in them and that's to help keep our bike secure. more
