Saris MOCS0074 Solo Rack Black

Very good if you carry a bike with triangular frame. Its balance seem to struggle with step-through bikes. Nonetheless this is much easier to put on than others as it only has vertical straps no horizontal and the unit is fixed shape. It is also very compact for our small boot.

You have to wonder about the people who just whack a 5* review on there and say 'good product'! There is nothing good about this bike rack. This is a cheap and cheerful product without the cheerful! - I bought it in June and just got round to fitting it and even tightening everything up I would not trust my bike to this. Even when you heave on the straps the bike flaps all over the place. There is nothing to stop someone nicking your bike (and the bike rack!). This is going on ebay - put your money into a better product - this is not fit for purpose in my opinion. Highly disappointed with it and even more disappointed in myself that I can't send it back for a refund :((

The rack worked well, the down side is the bottom straps did not tighten up fully. I bought 2 x extra ratchet straps to go across my bicycle, from rear wheel arch to rear wheel arch. These plus the bike carrier made my bike very secure.

Had a problem with the delivery company but the staff at Millets Outdoor were absolutely 100% in sorting out this problem. I can only thank them for all they did to resolve the issue. The item works well, highly recommended, definitely buy from Millets again.

Pluses - Its versatile and light weight and fit on both our household hatch backs, skoda fabia and ford focus. Downside it is that no matter how tight you get the straps it still twists and moves around and has left 2 big round fine scored marks on my boot below the window and this was with my sons small bike. I headed customer advice and padded all the possible contact points with socks and towels before first use. But the rubber feet must make contact with the car, you cant pad those. My husbands full sized bike was worse it twisted the plastic frame and we added nearly an hour onto the journey stopping and going to readjust. I've have to t-cut out all the scores from the rubber feet.

I bought this for lockdown so I could let my child cycle around the park. I am a mum of 3 who drives a Renault scenic. I had to write a review because it is brilliant. I've used it about 5 times, it's easy to click on in seconds and is sturdy. I've used it on the motorway and no issues. I can easily secure the bike on myself and it's really handy to remove and store in the boot for when needed. Will have to get the bigger one when my other 2 are old enough. 10/10 would recommend.

In principle this carrier is a nice idea for transporting one bike. But having fitted it, it was clear the bike would slap against the car during transport as there's very little clearance,. This can be alleviated by copious padding but I couldn't be bothered to fiddle around with that every time I wanted to fit the rack. So... I've bought a Saris Bone 2 which by comparison is absolutely brilliant,. I recommend any one contemplating a Saris Solo to find the extra lolly and do what I did. Look out for my unused Solo on EBay!

As a 30 something female I wanted something easy as the ones in Halfords seemed a bit complicated. Watched the u tube video first and it really is easy. Takes no more than 5 mins to attach to car then another 5 mins to secure and attach bike. I would fit a thick sock over bike peddle that meets contact with car to protect paintwork. Definately recommend and a good price. 10/10.
