Pivoting Tandem Carrier

Thule's Pivoting Tandem Carrier enables one person to load a tandem bike on the roof of their car. Thule designed the Tandem Carrier to be easy to mount to either square or round load bars so that you don't have to leave the bike carrier on your vehicle all the time. When you can't find someone to ride on the other seat of your tandem, just convert the Tandem Carrier into a conventional bike tray for solo rides.

Tandem roof bike carrier

I have a Thule tandem roof bike carrier. Good design and well built. I've traveled several hundred miles now with no problems at all. The only critical comment is that the directions brochure was not up-to-date and therefore inaccurate. Consequently, an extra part was included on the brochure but was not included in the package of parts. Fortunately, it was not necessary. When I called and talked with the Thule rep, I had the feeling they did not quite know what I was saying. The missing part they never did send me. But all's well that ends well since that part was not required. Thule is a great name and should give me many years of service.

Buying a second for my other car

I use this on my Volvo XC to carry my tandem as well as my single bikes. Very easy to use. I see one reviewer claimed to need two people to load a tandem. As a woman of 125 lbs. at 5'2" I have no problem loading mine all by myself. I am about to buy another for my other car.

Pleased with our Thule Tandem Carrier

We have used our Thule Tandem Carrier for over 3 years and are happy with it. I am 75 and can easily load our tandem by myself. Four suggestions: 1) Mount the carrier on the passenger side. 2) Open the passenger side door before loading. 3) Attach the handle stabilizer strap before loading. 4) For extra stability, add a ratchet tie down strap that goes across the bicycle cross bar. (Note: the strap should be twisted to prevent it from whistling in the wind.)

Good Product

Because I am nervous when relying only on the "rocket sprocket" to hold this bike on the roof of my car, I usually add additional straps as insurance. The fact that it really requires 2 people to load is not too much of an inconvenience for a tandem bike but it is misleading advertising. I would like to be able to buy a locking skewer to minimize risk that someone may have played with the system. I was also really annoyed to have to buy an extra windscreen to muffle the noise from the rack. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend but I would also suggest that they compare it to other models.

Easy to use tandem carrier

I have the Thule tandem carrier mounted on my Mini Cooper. As a senior age 70 I find the carrier easy to use. The pivot for the front fork makes it easy for me to load my tandem bike by myself. Also, the two piece carrier adds to the convenience of storing the carrier.

This is a great rack but . . .

Thule seriously needs to provide an adapter to allow use with their aero bars.

Great choice for Cannondale Tandem

I carry my Cannondale RT3000 on top of my 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser. I love that I can load and unload the tandem by myself. The carrier also holds the bike securely even on long road trips. The carrier has been on my car for over 2 years, winters included, and looks as good as the day it was installed. My only wish is that it could lock like my Thule single bike carriers. If it were one key compatible, it would be perfect.

Needs upgrades

You can not lower a bike with disk brakes it hits the swivels.
