Hi I thought that both looked about the same but the sportrack was less money. I am pleased with sportrack and I am glad I bought the one with medal hoops that the wheel fit in that has the drop the tire fit in and hold better lee

I'm liking my sportrack. Especially for the price. I wouldn't expect it to haul 40lb downhill bikes up miles of bumpy dirt roads but for hauling on pavement to the trailhead it works great. Only two issues I see, and which are minor to me, are the following: The rack does not fold up as compact on the back of your car as many other racks do. No biggie for me since In usually take it off if I'm not hauling the bikes. Depending on where your rear shock is, you might have difficulty getting the key in the lock for the outside bike. I have to make sure my bike has the front tire to the left otherwise it can't lock it.

They are very similar. I got the Sportrack because of the built in key locks

Mine is a Sportrack and it is exactly what I was looking for. Fully adjustable for any bike. Bikes easy to load and bike rack is easy to put on and take off the vehicle.

Very satisfied with the SportRack SR2901LR 2-Bike Lock and Tilt Platform Hitch Rack. It is my understanding that the Parent company is Thule. I Carry (2) 26" touring bikes on it with no problem. The bikes weigh about 35 lbs each. I cannot compare directly with the swagman xtc-2. This rack seemed to offer more 'bang for the buck." On the downside, it is a bit awkward to hang on a wall.

The Sportrack I purchased is 5 ft. in length, @36 inches wide and 18 inches high in the back ( tallest ) end, tapering down to about 8 inches in the front to make it more aerodynamic. I believe it holds 18 cu. ft. of cargo but not recalling my high school trig I forget how to calculate it all. Holds a lot of stuff is the bottom line however weight is an issue...they say 100 lbs max in the owners manual/ assembly instructions I got with it. Hope this helps a bit.

The fenix 2 pretty much does what the forerunner does plus more. For me, looks better than the Suunto Ambit 2, although they are pretty much the same watch. As a fitness watch garmin does a better job of cataloging your workouts and displaying in various formats. Paired with the HRM it's definitely the way to go.

I don't care for the velcro on the SportRack SR2901LR, but look into the reviews on the locking system- built in locks are nice, but how solid is the ratcheting mechanism? Any breaking/ cracking of the plastic locking assembly in reviews? Hope this helps.

I bought a Polar RS800sd about a year ago after I got sick of my (2nd) Nike+ losing data after a run. The polar has been great. Simple to use, detailed info, and from what I've seen pretty accurate. I just bought a Garmin 405. Went to the REI garage sale and they had one for only $160. It was that low because someone returned it saying the band was broken. Check it out and it still looked fine, so I bought it just for the sake of getting a new toy. Just did my first run with it, and as of right now, I like the Polar better. I think I'm just used to that technology and am comfortable with it. The garmin doesn't come with any software. you need to download it all off the web, and it's not super simple to find. Polar came with some offline software which I like a lot. Now, I think once I get used to the forerunner, it may grow on me. There have been a LOT of reviews where people think the garmin is the best, and then there's 3rd party apps that let you map where you've ran. Plus, with the 405, I think you can use it for biking right out of the box. no need for a pod or anything.

Sports smith or Rouge fitness has the cheapest. Just Google bumper plate racks. Those companies should pop right up. Hope that helps. E

As long as both gadgets have Bluetooth they pair together.The headphones are great for any sport and sweatprofed as well.Little bulky but if you want good sound and great base you can't beat Sony.

I would go with the 9500ix w/escort live smartcord & app. Or the Redline. Goodluck

No. The Swagman 64663 is a 2-bike rack only. The Swagman XCT4 is a 4-bike rack (S64665).

I use the TRX at my trainers gym and have the WOSS at home. The TRX is more durable and the straps are easier to adjust but the WOSS works just fine, especially for the ~1/week maintenance workout that I do. But at $40 vs $160-200, the WOSS is a steal! Get one, you'll love it!

I'm not sure what the difference is between the XT or XTR!! I'm guessing one is an extended version meaning it holds more than 2 bikes. The one I bought holds 2 bikes only

It should fit. The dimensions of this SportsRack is 54" long x 39" wide x 19 1/2" tall. Check that against the dimensions of your Vibe to see if you need to make any adjustments. You might want to consider other models with closer dimensions to your Vibe if this one won't work.

Maybe the best answer is "Sorta." I have both the Cygolite Metro 360 on my wife's bike and a Surfas True 500 (the Surfas is more expensive I think) on mine. I prefer the Surfas style of release, but both seem to be secure and reasonably easy and fast to take on and off.

The quad 4 is definitely better. It has 4 decks whereas the mixtracm pro 2 only has 2 decks. Go with the quad 4.
