Quality 2-bike strap rack functionality for cyclists on a budget.View larger Quality 2-bike Strap Rack Functionality for Cyclists on a BudgetTrunk/strap mount carriers do not require a roof rack, are easy to install and offer easy access to bikes. This makes them common, especially with new cyclists and cost-conscious families, but they can also be one of the least stable options on the road, sometimes leading to bike-on-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, as well as presenting problems with parking and driving while the rack is installed. The Thule 9006 gateway 2-bike trunk/strap mount rack does away with these issues with its solid mounting and no-sway usability. The combined holding power of Stay-Put cradles and no-sway cages ensure mounted bike stability while in transit.View larger Patented FitDial with Quick-Fit lever (top left) adjusts to your vehicle providing a "perfect fit".View larger The Thule 9006 gateway 2-bike trunk/strap mount rack quickly secures to trunk and/or hatchback seams with multiple straps just like other strap carrier, but also contains unique features rarely seen in carriers in its price range. The first of these is its easy-to-use, patented FitDial hub adjustment system. Built around angle Quick-Fit adjusting levers at the right and left of the unit's hub and utilizing a precise easy-to-remember number system, it provides for a perfect and easy to replicate fit to your vehicle exterior every time you mount the carrier. Next are the gateway's detachable no-sway cage elements which attach and extend below each of the rubberized Stay-Put cradles that support your bike frame along the top of the carrier arms. These no-sway attachments, used in conjunction with Stay-Put cradles and their securing straps, dramatically reduce front-to-back and side-to-side bike frame movement, delivering bike stability on the road that borders on that enjoyed by much more expensive bike carriers. In addition to this, the easy maneuverability of the carrier arms allow for convenient and quick movement up or down to the precise place you need them. This makes the rack usable with virtually any bike frame size. Each arm is also able to be locked down firmly via an easy-to-use cinch lever at the hub of the unit at either side making driving and parking easier while the rack is installed, but empty of bikes.
