Has anyone had any experience with the Saris Cycleon or Saris Thelma racks? I'm looking to get one of them but was looking for more feedback before deciding on which.

The price difference isn't a big issue because I know a couple of people selling their used Cycleons. I'm more interested in ease of use and robustness.

I have a Sportworks modular, and love it. The Cycleon is similar in design. I've looked at the Saris and it looks a bit more polished than the sportworks. If you can get a used one, go for it, you'll love the ease of just tossing the bike on the rack, flipping a wheel retainer in back and locking down the front wheel. 10 second load/unload. Very popular with the distance racers who have to swap out riders on the road because it's just quick to use.
