Hi! Please visit www.thule.com and click on the "buyer's guide" for all the fit options we offer based on your vehicle. If you have a hitch installed on the rear of your Volvo, then we highly recommend you take a look at our hitch bike carriers as a first option. Thanks!

I own the Raceway as well as the T2 and they are both great to keep your bike(s) stable while transporting. The Raceway is pretty easy to install and will keep your bikes from bouncing around. I have seen other carriers with some expensive bikes on them with pedals tangled up in the spokes of the other bike. This mount will hold each bike in it's place securely and safely without a lot of movement. It goes on in a matter of minutes and is very easy to use. I would recommend the Raceway to anyone who likes quick, easy and secure. But I still prefer the T2 for a hitch mounted carrier.

The Thule 9001XT worked well on our Prius. Go to the Thule website www.thule.com and do a search under bike carriers. Then enter your car's make, model and year for compatibility.

I used racks from Dirtracks dot com. Pretty inexpensive and give a lot of structure for the bags to strap to. What you don't want is something coming lose and catching in the rear spokes, which could kill you.

it comes with the hardware to mount it to the rear axle of a bicycle then all you have to do is quick connected and disconnected. it's really quite simple

I think you'd have trouble going over a tire. They do make bike racks specifically for tire mounts.

I just hung a 55 Samsung. It took less than 30 minutes. Bracket works well for my Samsung! Great mount!

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

I replaced my 3 bolt Badger with the 3 bolt Waste King, but I ended up having to take all the old hardware out, and could have EASILY used the Easy Mount, if I did it again, I'd go Easy Mount, I think it would be more secure, and...you know....easier.

This should fit most all handle bars. If I could post a picture of this on my cruiser you could see how it fits. The awesome feature is that the mounting bracket stays attached (Velcro) to the bike. Hooks over the handle bars and a Velcro strap goes around the neck of the bike. You attach and remove the basket by simply raising the basket handles. With the basket handles raised, the basket hooks on and off the mounting bracket. Once the basket is hooked on the mounting bracket, lowering the basket handles locks the basket in place. No tools required to install or remove. This basket is awesome. Well well worth the money.

The mount is held on by zip ties and is somewhat pliable. I think that it would conform to the profile of the top bar of your bike after installation. You may want to drop the mount in some hot water to soften before strapping to your frame.

I have a lefty and so I had some challenges trying to figure a way to mount it. Apparently Cannondale makes a mount ($20) to put computers on their lefties. Things have been fine since. Just make sure you mount the magnet and the sensor somewhere that is a constant. Sensor goes on your lower fork, that way it stays at the same place as your tire while going through the paces of the mountains. I have two of em. They work 98% of the time. They start getting dodgy when their batteries get low, but that is to be expected. I reccomend it.

Not "Securely". You might as well buy the bike mount. This clamp might work OK on smooth roads, anything off road and it would get knocked off.

Yep! Using it on our 04 CRV! We even mount a heavy electric bike on there with no problem, even on bumpy roads and lots of stop and go.

I commute to work via bicycle and it cuts my battery drain in half. I like to run a GPS tracking program when I ride and it's rather battery intensive. The phone mount is all plastic but seems pretty sturdy. It hasn't dropped my phone and I have a pretty rough ride in some places. The dynamo was difficult to mount, but I have a folding bicycle and I'm sure the compact design had something to do with it.

The Kurt kinetic arrives fully assembled, and it's very easy to mount and unmount. The question now is, do you have a quick release or nut and bolt set up for your back tire?

Easy enough with the right bike tool. You might need to do so. My first ride the tire came off!

Yes if you bolt it to a scooter rack it will take less than a half hour. I put mine on a dirt bike rack and also made a custom mount for a Honda Goldwing. They bolt up easily as the two plates clamp the rack between them.

I put my on a 2008 Scion XB. What I found when I went to the Hollywood site was that they had an extensive list of cars that the Over-the-Top Bike Rack fits. I have used mine now for several months both locally and on a trip of over 1,500 miles and the rack is excellent. Its well build the straps hold the bike in place, its easy to get a bike on and off and the rack is easy to install and remove. If your car is on the list of cars that they say it will work on I believe it will work. Since I have installed mine I have noticed bike racks on cars and most of them are not build close to the quality level that the Hollywood is. Hope this helps Elenor I put my on a 2008 Scion XB.
