## Description

Thule TH9720 Hangon 3-Bike : desertcart.co.uk: Automotive

Review: Superb value for money and its does take any bike! - OK, so I don't "do" reviews - I selfishly read them and never post any...until now...this is a **seriously good product** and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're like me, you'll have read the reviews and perhaps have some doubts about whether it can take "modern" bikes without a crossbar, whether its secure and whether its robust. Let me put those to rest for you... It easily takes four bikes and they don't need a standard cross bar. We have two adult bikes (1 typical "male" frame and 1 typical "female" frame) and two kids mountain bikes, both without cross bars and a modern sloping/diagonal frame. So, that's 3 bikes out of four without a crossbar - they all fitted with no hassles or problems and are rock solid on the carrier. My advice would be to not constrain yourself to the rubber fittings being upright, turn them 45 degrees or whatever they need to be to accomodate the bike frame, and twist the bike slightly - don't force yourself to put the bike on horizontal. They will go on! Secure? Its absolutely rock solid! Its a really clever piece of engineering to hang everything off the towbar, on one simple fitting and I am truely amazed at how secure it is. It keeps your bikes well clear of the rear of the car and in the slipstream of the vehicle - so no wind noise at all and no noticeable difference to fuel consumption. Robust? Yep, again, its rock solid and really well made. Easy to assemble, folding storage feature does what it says, quality rubber mounts and straps. I won't pretend that the bikes don't move about a little in the rear view mirror - they do, but that's just what you'd expect of anything on a trailer. Final tips - have a practice run at getting your bikes on and don't leave it until the morning you're off on holiday! Yep, you need to have the boot fully loaded first (because the chances of folding the carrier down, for boot access, with four bikes attached are slim - think Geoff Capes sized arms) - which means the family are practically ready to go before you start loading the carrier...you don't want to be messing around at that point :-) I ordered on a Monday, delivered Wednesday, test loaded on the Friday night and got it nailed on the second attempt. I just remembered the bike "order" and "arrangement", and it took no longer than 30 mins on the Saturday morning. 1500 miles from Scotland to Wales, to the Midlands and back to Scotland - bikes on and off four times during that time and on the last load I'd got it down to 15 minutes. A four bike carrier, for sub-£100, no balancing bikes on the roof, scratching the wings/door/roof in the process, out of the way at the back...it really is a no-brainer. Love it!
Review: Absolutely excellent. - If you have a tow bar and want to carry bykes (and don't need the tow bar for anything else - caravan/trailer etc) then look no further. This is so simple to fit and use. One bolt to attach the clamp to tow bar ball with a provided spanner. Rock solid when on. The rubber clamps and housings for the byke cross bars to sit in are large and strong. Apart from the one strap to stop front wheels flapping provided, no other straps were required It does fold down to the size of one of those old aluminum rucsac frames if you can be bothered to undo, by hand, the two bolts to fold it up. I managed with no effort or folding to just throw it in the boot of the car. It took 5 minutes to fit it to the car... I had read the instructions and watched the video beforehnad. It did take about 15 minutes of trial and error to mount 3 bykes on it... so that pedals, handlebars, stunt pegs(!) were not fouling each other or rubbing but once i had the arrangement it's probably less than 3 minutes. I did opt for all the bykes pointing in the same direction, unlike illustrations etc. that imply top and tailing.... which puts chains and gears up against one another. Just allow some extra time first time out to work out how to arrange your bykes. My son's byke has an angled and oval cross bar.. a bit of wriggling and it went on no trouble, althought the rubber clamp was stretched to it maximum. Stunt pegs are a pain... but with only 3 bykes, not 4, hat left plenty of space for the stunt pegged byke. As to some things other reviewers have mentioned. The instructions say the tilt function is meant only to be used without bykes on the rack. For me i found it quite easy, with the rack unloaded, to loosen the main bolt with the spanner and lean the rack back on the ball. I can't see how the fancy lift and drop arrangement involving undoing two bolts by hand can be much easier and has raised safety concerns for others. Also I don't see how there can be any advantage in this as the mechanism is higher than the tow bar ball and is more likely to obstruct any door! As one reviewer said, Thule could just do away with this feature, improve the already impressive strength of the item and save on manufacturing costs. Make this any cheaper and there will no competition. I am normally after a bargain but I decided not to penny pinch on this and i have no regrets... this was worth every penny... peace of mind and ease of use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I see lots of adult bikes but does it fit kids bike on it?**
A: It will depend on the frame size, my daughters bike just about fits on but she is an older teenager. It doesnt help that on a ladies bike there isnt much room at the front of the frame for the bar to go through. The black clips on the bars rotate which makes it easier to get smaller framed bikes on.

**Q: Whát is the distance between the arms. I need to check that it will carry a small frame bike which my current Thule does not?**
A: The distance between the bars on this bike rack is 16 inches from outside to outside. Hope this is helpful.

**Q: Will this fit a convertible audi a5 2012??**
A: All you need is a tow bar and it will fit. Mine is 3 years old and still works perfectly

**Q: Does this tilt back with the bikes on so that you can get into your boot?**
A: It does but in practice it is very hard. I had 4 bikes on and the weight was too much to get it back up again. I strongly recommend a trial run. It is a very good bike rack though, highly recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT QUALITY
*by K***T on 25 August 2018*

It's a job to understand why this thing doesn't just fall off as all you have is a clamp on the tow-bar ball. It is very robust. all the accessories are very expensive. I have a couple of issues with this item. They may think you don't need it but there is no locking nut to secure the fixing nut. I would have thought this should be a standard idea. The fitting bolt itself has a completely non-standard thread so I wasn't able to get another even from a specialist local nut and bolt shop. It is imperial of some sort. The spanner that comes with it has an open ended end (as well as the enclosed end which is fine) - which doesn't fit anything so is useless. There is an Allen key supplied which fits one place OK but the instructions show this is used to make an adjustment to the tilting mechanism - but you need a LARGE cross-head screwdriver instead so expect to buy or find one as an extra. The general idea is very good but why this stupid lack of attention to necessary detail? Maybe it was designed by a Muppet Swedish Chef or something. I found it very irritating as I expected better of this manufacturer and will make me doubt other products, The special lock is only made of plastic and I think could be broken off with a hammer. I didn't get one in the end but used a bike lock to tie the whole thing to the tow-bar. This was used for a trip up to Orkney and back up over the mountains etc., a distance of 2.5k miles for the first use and it performed perfectly so still gets 4 stars
