Purchased carrier to carry bike when I travel; chose Thule because my car (Subaru Outback) came with Thule bars. I'd had a Yakima system before and wish that I had stuck with it. The Thule "eagle claw" is great in theory, but not so much in practice: When removing bike, you have to tilt bike away from you with one hand, while pushing claw down out of the way with the other. When mounting the bike, you do the same but in reverse. Also, tie-down straps for tires buckle on the far side, so you fasten by feel. Pros at two bike shops (in different states) who helped tell me mount/dismount bike after a trail accident marveled at the poor design.

Surprisingly solid rack!

I ride a 32lb mountain bike and this rack is very stable, even on some very rough logging roads that I took it on. I was worried about getting some side to side movement in the rougher areas of the road but my friend who was driving behind me said it did not look wobbly at all! The locking arm seems more like a preventative feature but it would bring some peace of mind if I wanted to run into a store or a restaurant briefly. The ratchet straps also really lock down the wheels and are very easy to use. Keep in mind you do actually have to lift your complete bike up on your roof so it may not be ideal for the vertically challenged or those with larger SUV's or Trucks but I have a 2011 Ford Escape and with my bike on the roof, I still have about 9 feet of clearance.
