I just don't understand how secure this rack is, even with the lock cylinders. Can anyone explain to be why a thief wouldn't just be able to just flip off the front quick-release on the bike, unlatch the rear wheel and take the bike off the rack? Seems to me, you could remove the bike in seconds even if using the locks.

I have a couple of side arms which are pretty much the same thing. Out of curiosity I tired to steal my own bike off of my car with it locked. I had the bike off within about 20 seconds. As others have said a cable lock through the frame will help. But in real life locks only keep out the honest people, if someone wants your bike they will probably get it.

Definitely plan on getting a cable lock - even with a lock core in the arm that swings over the front wheel it is possible to force the arm to the open position.

I agree that it seems that you can take the bikes off easily while locked....so I run a cable and lock though the bikes and the vehicle if I'm traveling.
