Review: The Power of Suction Cups? Sea Sucker's Mini Bomber Bike Rack
I have one of these racks and it’s clear from the comments that folks haven’t used one of these. The main pro of this rack is that it doesn’t mark your frame (unlike a trunk mount) and you can put it on any car (unlike a roof rack or trailer hitch system). If your mate only has space for one bike usually but you want to carpool, you can just grab this and put it on. You don’t have to buy new roof racks or trailer hitch package every time you buy a car. I think the check every few hours thing is overblown, you should be checking any other rack type every few hours anyway. The rack is stiffer than any roof rack or trailer hitch solution I’ve seen, and I’ve never had a failure of suction on any of the mounts in the 2 or so years that I’ve used it. There’s also none of the roof rack whistling and hassle to get to your boot when you’re not carrying your bike around. I’ve also not seen any paint damage from using them. The biggest con for me is the security aspect, you can’t just leave your car parked somewhere with a bike on. It does take probably 5 minutes extra each way to mount the rack each time too.

Yep, I love the catalyst, they are so comfortable! With the longer pins I have no problem with grip, even with my completely worn through soles on my shoes. Given the comments about grip in the review I’d be interested to try some of the others, but I don’t think the extra grip would be worth losing the support
