    I crossed from Quebec to Vancouver and cam back through Utah ALL THE WAY back to the east coast with the Talon on my Chevy Volt. I definitely recommend the Seasucker.

      Awesome. I was hesitant to buy the kit, but after reading that you drove at length with no issues I am definitely leaning towards the SeaSucker over a Thule system. It really not any more expensive than a top mount bike rack system if one is starting from scratch.

    I just bought one of these as I had limited options for my Mercedes. The panels were too tight for a trunk rack, and I don't want to put an ugly trailer hitch on it. This looked like a good fit. After watching lots of reviews I decided to try it out.

    Hi Andy, how does the talon hold up when going from sea level to let's say mammoth mtn. I notice the suction cup cell phone holders loose their suck based on elevation change. I'd imagine the same to be of these bike racks?

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews
      @AndyClarkRealReviews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Erik Bielitzer great question, but the highest I’ve been is only about 4000ft. I didn’t notice any loss of suction, though.

  • @krismatthew6296
    @krismatthew6296 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just received my mini bomber today. The pump nipple that does the sucking, was delivered to me broken off, so already had to use the spare. Additionally, the suction cup itself does not hold its suction. I’ve sent them an email and called, but no reply yet. Literally tried everything to get it to work (cleaning, taking apart, everything) but the cup does not want to hold its suction (all other cups work fine).

    This is perfect for my Miata.this is still way cheaper than install hitch cost $300+ additional bike rack cost anywhere $300-$500. Depending what brand your using. I came close of buying product but I was hesitant due to safety issue. Last thing I’m worrying about my bike would be flying to someone’s windshield. In the future definitely I’ll go with this route.

    Hi Andy, I'm looking at using the suction mechanism for a university project of mine. Do you know roughly how long it is advised for the SeaSuckers to be mounted before replacement? and do they lose pressure overtime? if so how long before they should be re-pumped?

    How did you know when to replace the suction cups and pumps? and was it easy to rebuild?

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews
      @AndyClarkRealReviews  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I replaced because they wouldn’t hold suction, and the buttons wouldn’t stay all the way down (the orange band would fully show). Usually that means there’s a small hole or crack in the rubber. It just happens over time.

    So what do you do when you get to the location and remove your bike? Do you take the rack off the car, then put it back on when you’re done with the ride? Basically: you can’t leave it on your car cause anyone can theoretically just pop it off, right?

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews

    @kayakplayer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's been a while since you originally posted, but I just purchased the SeaSucker Board Rack for my BMW i3. I'ld been carting around my kayak and windsurfing board with the rear hatch open. The roof is uniform and 44" across at the front and the windshield is slightly wider. Rear is 39" wide, and the entire back end is glass. I'm thinking about the Talon two pack and how many of these things I could get on my car at once, LOL. It's an electric serial hybrid car (I normally add gas every hour of driving on road trips) but guess I won't get as far with the roof loaded up, and given the paltry charging network here in Wisconsin. So probably not ever going to need it all on top at once. But please, pretty please, couldn't I?

Check out their site and their Insta.
      But TBH I think the car guy voice is winning, and if I had a car like that I’d have a hard time sticking a rack on it. Buy yourself a beater SUV or just ride from your house and keep that C8 looking good!!

      Glad to hear you’re traveling! I flew for the first time in a year a few weeks ago. Wasn’t bad at all.

    Do you know if they fail, and your bike gets totaled from falling off the car, will they replace your bike?

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews
      @AndyClarkRealReviews  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. No one does that. Any failure you experience will be human error, not equipment. I just drove up a twisty mountain road at warp speed with the Hornet and the bike didn’t budge.

    Hey Andy, hope you and your family are well. Coincidently, I was considering this rack for my car/bike a couple of months ago. My only hestiation was that it might degrade the finish. In your vid, you state that it will not. That's great. But was there ANY degradation whatsoever, even minimal? Thanks man!

      Gilbert Moreno as long as you keep both the surface and the cups clean and free of dust, you should be golden.

      What about dents on car’s surface? Are all cars though enough to avoid that?

    • @jamesd8458
      @jamesd8458 ปีที่แล้ว

      for future reference, my car has aluminum panels and I modified the rack to mount it fully on the rear windshield, to mitigate any risk of panel dents or warping

    Thanks for this video. I finally get to mount my Talon on my Tesla Model 3 roof. It was only a short trip from the store to my home about 15 miles. Though I watched the instructions videos and TH-cam videos such as yours many times, It still doesn't give me enough confidence to continue using it. The other thing that bothers me is that there is no option to keep it locked in case I have to stop for a coffee while leaving my vehicle behind. My 2cs

      True, but they sell a lock system now. I didn't have one at the time of the video. www.seasucker.com/collections/security

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews

      My typical highway speed is around 80, and as mentioned in the review I've driven several hours at a time with a bike on the rack. Same holds true for the 2-bike rack I'm currently using.

    • @jamesd8458
      @jamesd8458 ปีที่แล้ว

      I recently ran another brand’s suction cup rack at up to 87 mph, on two 8-hour journeys, with two road bikes mounted. It was flawless.

    I have a BMW convertible with a folding metal roof. Is it safe to mount the Sea Sucker on that?

    Thanks for being the guinea pig for the cyclists of the world. I've always used dedicated systems that mount on crossbars, but I find myself needing something I can travel with that fits on any car. If you trust it with your Cervelo, I feel better about trusting it with my precious carbon bikes.

    My issue is that you always have to take off the front wheel. I wish they had a rack you didn’t need to do that. I ride Downhill so zero quick release.

    Save yourself over $100.00 and Go with Rocbros suction cups bike mount. Works the same for a lot less $$. been using Rocbros for 2 yrs now and has not done me wrong. There is nothing reasonably priced about Seasucker

    applaud to you, for put up with stupid humans who cant even design a simple thing.
    i wouldnt even buy something so stupid, it takes removing the front wheel.
    whats the point of having a rack for an item, if you still have to use the trunk for that same item.

    • @AndyClarkRealReviews
      @AndyClarkRealReviews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They offer a front wheel accessory, I just don’t have one.
