from Colorado Springs, CO USA Date Reviewed: July 3, 2009 Strengths: Super easy to install. Super Easy to Use! A very minimal bike rack, that does the job. Direct mount to factory cross bars, no need to 'adapt' to install some other bike rack. Fork mount can be locked with optional lock cores. Bike is very solidly attached. Weaknesses: No way to lock the rack to the crossbars, held on with funky bolts. Then again, so are the crossbars, so I guess this doesn't really count. If you see someone disasembling my rack with my bike on it, please punch them! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cheyenne or Templeton -Palmer Park Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $85.00 Purchased At: Pro Cycling Similar Products Used: Factory rack, some trunk racks, and I had a home made one in my SUV Bike Setup: 2004 Trek Fuel 70, Tora SoloAir Front, RP23 Rear, Smoke/Dart tires. Car setup - 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5i

from Spokane, WA USA Date Reviewed: May 26, 2009 Strengths: Easily attached to most factory crossbars. No need to buy a separate after market rack. Weaknesses: ***Buyers Beware!!! Faulty quick release mechanisms. My quick release failed and my bike fell from my car and put a dent in the roof. Rocky Mounts was unwilling to help me out other than telling me to apply lube to the mechanism. Apparently they know this happens but they don't want to overwhelm us by putting this simple care tip in the care and instructions manual. Hmmmm....wish I'd known that. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $90.00 Bike Setup: Rocky Mountain Slayer 30. On my Subaru Outback with factory racks, also have the disc brake adapters for the Noose SL.

from Tucson, AZ Date Reviewed: April 15, 2008 Strengths: awesome bang for the buck, solidly built, rainbow of colors to choose from, fits your car's stock roof rack, easy to install Weaknesses: skewers aren't as friendly to use as some Thule and Yak systems i've seen. 2.25" tire is the tray's absolute limit (i have to cram my 2.3s in with the rear wheel ratchet).

from Weatherford, TX, US Date Reviewed: October 30, 2007 Strengths: Inexpensive Weaknesses: I've owned two Noose SL racks for two months and the paint is already chipping from the rails and the ratcheting wheel straps have come off wheel driving my vehicle without bikes on the racks. Also my bikes have a large amount of lateral movement with these racks mounted on existing automotive luggage racks. I guess you get what you pay for.

from Frisco, TX, USA Date Reviewed: July 20, 2006 Strengths: Much cheaper than its comparable yakima and thule counterpart. Easy to install. Comes in a lot of different colors. Weaknesses: Like other have said, the bike rack locks to the bike, but the rack doesnt have anything other than the "special" star shaped tool to keep it attached to your roof rack. Will require a different set of locks and keys than ur roof rack.

from Somerset, NJ Date Reviewed: September 23, 2005 Strengths: good price, simple design, solid components. Weaknesses: rusting a bit around the fork clamp skewer and I had to grind the mounting bolts down about 1/2". If your stock rack is a lowrider the provided bolts may hit your roof. They must be replaced or ground down. I found the opposing bolts mounting method to be a little cumbersome especially if you're planning to take it on and off frequently. I like to throw it on a friend's car now and then and this rack is a PIA to quickly mount/unmount. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Diablo Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $85.00 Bike Setup: car set up - '04 Pontiac Vibe w/stock roof rack. Not the greatest match for this product, but with a little ingenuity it works.
