Saris Thelma Security 3022 Locking Hitch Tite Review

Saris Thelma Security 3022 Locking Hitch Tite
Average Reviews:

just bought it to lock my Thelma 3 to the hitch, it fits and easy to use.
one side of the lock wall is just too thin (they drilled the hole too close to the wall), resulting in it could break if the theft uses a bit force to break. it.

Bought 2 of these from Gals Garage and found them easy to install and easy to use. Our Trek road bikes are a breeze to lift up and out of the way. Great way to save that precious floor space in the garage and still have your bikes ready to go.

This thing works great. Easy to install, and use. Get's the bikes up and out of the way, leaving more room for other junk in the garage.

Saris Cycle Glide Review

Saris Cycle Glide

My wife and I have about 20 bikes. It seems like a lot, but there are so many kinds of bikes, aren't there? Road, TT, Cruiser, mountain, recumbant etc. We hav tried several different ways to keep all these bikes in the garage and get them to co-exist with two cars and two motorcycles. This Saris cycle glide works pretty well, and keeps several bikes above head level, if you're under 6'2" anyway. It is a challenge to invert a 28 pound mountain bike and lift it onto the hooks, but not that difficult. The under 20 pound road bikes go up easily though. The bikes slide from one end of the rack to the other, allowing you to move them away from the one you're trying to hang up, or remove from the rack. That extra room makes it a lot easier to manipulate a bike on or off the rack.
My ONLY complaint is that they chose not to lock the wheel hooks in the orientation that in perpendicular to the bike's long axis. Those hooks can rotate freely and if you bump one with the tire when mounting it can rotate away, making it impossible to hang the bike until you use a broom handle to re-align the hook. I'll probably end up using some silicone adhesive to align those hooks and keep them from rotating. Other than that, the system works very well, and I may get another soon. I'll need some space to mount a few more bikes eventually.

Delta El Greco Ceiling Hoist Review

Delta El Greco Ceiling Hoist

I recently purchased and installed the Delta El Greco Ceiling Hoist for my mountain bike. After reading the the reviews of other hoists from Rad and Racor, I chose the Delta because it had the least negative reviews.
Most of these negative comments were related to the supplied mounting screws. The screws are typical Asian-made hardware, not the best in the world - but the screws supplied are not defective. With the proper drive tool, they can be easily used. They are Pozidrive screws, I added an image to the photo gallery to illustrate how a Pozidrive screw is identified. These can be driven by a Phillips driver, but it requires care to properly align the driver with the screw drive recess. If the driver is allow to move off center to an angle while apply drive torque, the bit will easily "cam out."
To successfully use the supplied screws, a proper screwdriver must be used. Most people, myself included, do not own Pozidrive tools. I used a #3 Phillips bit in a cordless drill/driver and had no trouble with the screws. However, if you're not comfortable with this, or don't have a #3 Phillips driver, then it's easy enough to go to the local hardware store and buy some screws for under a dollar.
As to the operation of the hoist after getting it installed, it works great. The bicycle raises fairly evenly (stays level) and the rope catch holds it securely in place once the bike is up. As another reviewer mentioned, it works sort of like a venetian blind type device. It's still wise to also use the supplied rope cleat to tie-off the excess rope as an added safety measure.
I love the way this bicycle hoist works and am very happy with it.
