Swagman XTC-2 or SportRack SR2901LR

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.

Swagman works for me. Sturdy and strong. Couldn't be more satisfied. Best rack I've ever owned.

Holds our two carbon triathlon bikes. Best rack I've ever owned. Wish I had bought this one first. Would buy it again!

See the top curved adjusters that go over the top of the bike to lock in place? The guide-locking system on the SportRack is plastic. The Swagman's is metal. The Swagman is built very well. The SportRack has a bunch of plastic parts. Spend the extra $8 and get the Swagman.

We own the Swagman and love it. Can't see any advantage to the SportRack, which appears to copy the Swagman design, adding a tilt feature which you wouldn't/couldn't use with the bikes attached, and is unnecessary when they're not. (The center bar of the Swagman will fold left or right when not in use, giving easier access to your trunk or SUV cargo area. Swagman also makes a cable lock we use when leaving the bikes attached but unattended.

This is a very good equipment by the way; definitely commercial grade. Second equipment (first was a commercial-rated speed bag mount) I've bought from Xmark fitness and they've both turned out very well and I've been very pleased at the price I got them for vs the name brand ones that have the same durability and quality.

I have the tailgator and love it. I use it for Karaoke with my Ipad and for playing Itunes and Pandora in the house. I plan on using it outside this summer.

I have a Garmin 255W and a TomTom XL340S. I am giving my daughter the Garmin and keeping the TomTom. Both are great units but the TomTom blows away the Garmin with useful features. The Garmin's voice is better as the TT has ploblems with Spanish street names. If I were to choose I would choose the TT but the Garmin is very good so whatever you choose, you will be happy.

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!

The noise reduction with these is better than the tactical sport version. I have compared them side by side as a friend has the TS model. I regularly shoot at an indoor pistol range and the Pro model works very well. My friend "doubles up" using foam ear plugs in addition to the TS model shooting indoors.I think the extra cost is worth the additional protection.

Assuming that the Odyssey has a roof rack system, including 2 cross bars, it will fit. The SportRack has a series of holes that allow for varied placement of the brackets that attach to the cross bars.

I can see no reason why it would not work - as long as you have side and cross racks to which you can attach the "U" bolts come with the sportrack. Important however -- the cross racks must be movable to align with the holes in the bottom of the rack through which the "U" bolts will go.

I have the Swagman rack also and it works great. The only caution on a truck or car is the amount of wind it is subjected to. On a motor home there is less wind due to the flat back.

Yes, the mixtrack Pro 2 will fit, and have extra space as well. The dimension of the pro 2 are 10.4 x 18 x 2 inches, and the Traktor s4 is 13.3 x 19.7 x 2.83 inches.

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

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.

I purchased the Sport given the handle seemed a little slimmer and easier to manipulate. The sport has a control that lets you select a percussion speed from 1 to 5 and seems to offer everything the mini pro offers. I am extremely happy with Thumper percussion given that I borrowed the 6 headed pro and it unlocked my shoulder after 2 days of "thumping". As a supplement to the Thumper, I also recommend The Stick.

The racks I bought are the Thule Xsporter Pro . I did not see another model number.

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

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.
