There is a rotation between the two of them. Whenever I load the bikes, I usually place the ones that aren't necessary on the bottom. Thus far, I am very satisfied with how well the rack has worked. A key feature is the ability of the bar to move down to allow access to the trunk. have only two observations or critiques. One, the cradles you use frequently become loose quite quickly so they will not stay up. Every time I ride the bike, I have to rest it on the bar and adjust the cradles. It's a little thing, but it makes a difference. As soon as the cradles become loose, the entire bicycle shifts a lot when it is blown around.
If you want to purchase this separately, you'll have to do so
I have a 4 bike carrier that will easily carry 3 bikes, but for 4 bikes it would be difficult. There is nothing better than having a good carrier, and I am glad to have one.
There is a maximum weight limit of 70lb on the instruction sheet that came with the rack. do not know the weight of my bikes, but I have not experienced any problems carrying two of them.

The bike rack is nice. Quite a few things bounce around in it. Another problem is that the hitch pin hole doesn't match the size of the hole in the Your anti-social behavior is such a goof You install a rattle 'bushing' into the rack tube before inserting it into the receiver, and you add a screw that screws into one side of the receiver and through to the other. I would have preferred the rack to be fitted with a standard hitch pin and drilled to match a standard 2" receiver hole, with a rubber or plastic bushing installed on the tube before inserting into the receiver, to make mounting and removing it easier. In order to fix this, I plan to drill the hole bigger to take a standard pin and come up with a bushing to tightly secure the mount and allow for easy mounting and dismounting without having to deal with threaded hitch pins. I just want to add a There are other racks that cost more than this one, but are identical to this one. In the event that those and other ones are made where I think they will be, what does it cost per 1000. It costs about $35 per unit to buy from the seller.
fits my two bikes very well, but it can be connected to four bikes as well.
As for the price, you will receive what you pay It is hard to hold everything together with the clamps. You can hear it rattling like crazy when you drive. Although I would like to return it, it seems like a minor inconvenience considering all that's going on in the world right now. I would suggest that you save your money and purchase a more useful item instead.
A lot of scuffs are visible on The area around the hole also has some rust and a small piece of paint has already come off. As of this week, only a week has passed since it was installed. I am worried that the rust will get worse and cause the o-ring to leak. The only way to protect it from the elements is to take it off after each and every use, but that's too inconvenient. However, I cannot get a replacement. My wish was to get a better one, but I only have the option of returning it and getting The instructions were unclear and did not include a chart showing how to attach the anti-detection device There are instructions on Google and YouTube that can help you install a rattle hitch tightener. Functionally, this rack seems to secure our bikes well. While driving, I noticed that the rack did not loosen up at all. Despite liking the way the bolt that attaches to the hitch has a pin on the other side and a threaded end, I wish there was a way to lock it to keep thieves at bay. Maybe I'll get an adapter for "female" bike frames that will make putting it together When I got the bike on, it was just a little poke in my rear view, but I still managed to ride it. I would be more than happy to raise my rating if there was a way to get a replacement that was in good condition.
It seems to work decently. This 3-step method has been working well for me It has been about 3 months since we've been going to these sessions 5 times a week. Moab is about 600 miles from my home, and I drove it round trip. The pros are It takes me only a few minutes to install and even fewer minutes to uninstall. It is possible to install a device that reduces rattles. It does not rattle much when it is Despite the fact that it seems very heavy and strong, I'm not worried that it will break. This product serves its purpose mainly, especially since it is relatively cheap. The space is tiny and I can only fit three bikes, despite the fact that it has four bike hookups. I broke the plastic cap at the end when I installed it for the first time, but it's not needed, so it's The problem with hooking up full suspension bikes is that they are very difficult to adjust. the trip to Moab, one of the straps that hold the bike started to slide, which could have led to the bike falling This is my second attempt at I installed it, but by the end of my trip, the strap had come undone, and half of my bike was bouncing around. The longest trip I'd like to take it on was 10 days, but I may use it again for shorter trips A 20-minute drive will take three hours I take the straps to local destinations five times a week and there is no issue with them during those.
The product is well As a construction detail, I was impressed with the threading of components to accept bolts instead of simply There are threaded components in some bike racks that eliminate quite a bit of the wiggle noise. It would have been difficult to keep the front wheel from swinging around and had the bike slam into the upright beam on the rack if I hadn't used bungee cords. By wiretying a piece of pool noodle to my bike upright, I will prevent scratches on my bike from hitting it.
It having to be returned. Due to the fact that my box is no longer with UPS, I hope to have no troubles with them. The box on the bike rack ripped while I was getting it out, so I just had to pay $30 to return it. I advise you not to buy this product!.
The web page indicates that the arms that hold bikes are 35 inches wide, but they are 25 inches wide. The only reason I bought it was because the arms were longer than the rack I currently have, which would have allowed me to fit more bikes on it. Although refunds were processed efficiently, the entire process was smooth.
