Good solid product, probably unnecessary
I bought this item thinking that I needed it because the cross bar on my bicycle is at an angle. I was totally wrong. Most people will never need this. I talked to my local bike guru- he said they were unnecessary to carry your bike safely and he was right. I am now ebaying this item because I don't need it.
Basically, if you want to make very very sure that your bike does not get scratched enroute while it is in your bike carrier, use this product. It will make sure that your paint doesn't become scuffed because of friction between the bike, brake cable and bike carrier. However, if you're like me, and you don't mind a few tiny scratches every now and again, it is totally unnecessary.
Solid product, could hold a house up in an earthquake, totally unnecessary for the average person.
