This review is from: Thule No-Sway Cage Accessory - 2 Pack (Sports)
I was skeptical. How effective could these actually be? But for the price I figured "why not give them a try?"

Worth the extra $20 or so. Although there was little to no sway with the Thule rack in the first place (I love my Thule rack - the 912), these keep the bikes extra firm and in their place when you're on backroads. But, I think most importantly, these cages keep the bikes from banging into each other and causing unnecessary frame dings.

Cons:
A little bit of a hassle to put on and take off - maybe 5 minutes extra to secure two bikes.

Also, you have to throw them in your car rather than leave them on the rack - too easy to steal so why risk it.

I like them - I recommend as long as they're less than $20.
