Notice to Big Wheel owners!

If you are in the market for a rack or a new rack to haul your 29er you will have to make a different choice other than this eye catcher.

The Saris Thelma while nice and innovative, it lacks the ability to carry 9er geometry. It is designed for the biking soccer mom. I say that because it only weighs 26lbs and is very simple to use. The wheels trays/cups holds 20-26" wheeled MTB's and 700c tire equipped roadies. Intrigued by its unique design I inquired to Saris and the rep told me unfortunately it does not work with 29ers.

The friendly customer service rep reassured my faith in all Saris products with his attention to my needs. They didn't have a complex push this button...go to this menu crazy type phone directory. One selection on the keypad and you are talking to a living, breathing, and caring representative from the Saris Corporation!

Even though you can't carry a 29er on this rack, get a big wheel...they just roll faster!
