The 31 foot RV trailer we use it on has a 32 inch wheelbase. There are no problems, and the Velcro straps hold it in place. However, it is a tight fit for four bikes. Our suv is also equipped with it, and it works well.
Yes, the rack part can be folded While still taking a bit of space, it isn't as big as it was once.
I'm not sure, but I expect it will be half inch
Selected User Reviews For MaxxHaul 50376 Threaded Hitch Locking Pin For MaxxHaul Bike Rack 70210
My main concern was the flimsy feel of hitch type racks since I had seen some concerns about them. This thing is solid as a rock, though. I am able to ride with confidence, even on rough streets, because the wheels are held firmly in place. Neither high-speed travel nor slow travel seem to have an effect. It goes on the back of our minivan without a problem, but we were unsure if it would fit four adults bikes on it. This is great. I am really pleased with it. This attachment and removal system is easy to use.
Fairly speaking, this can carry four bikes according to its description.
I'm impressed with the quality of the bike rack and how solid it feels. Because it folds down and tilts so you can still open your trunk, I really like it. My first thought was that it would feel cheap, however it is quite heavy-duty and does not feel flimsy in the slightest. It is true that the rack has to be assembled, but it's an easy procedure. Each bike mount comes in two pieces, and you need to attach the four parts that hold each bike It was just a matter of tightening all the included nuts and bolts and anything else that might come loose. There is no lock included in the package but the included hitch bolt has a pin and is threaded. For $35 bucks I can't complain! I used a wrench to tighten it enough that it can't be easily removed by hand. The straps are a bit bothersome since other comments mentioned that they may break, but for $35 I would say it's worth the try.
There's a lot of weight on this! Still, it is also very sturdy, so it may not be a bad thing at all. The bike holder parts were the most difficult to attach to the frame, so screwing them on was the most tedious part. You will need a few different kinds of sockets to tighten them up in order to make the job MUCH easier. There is a pin holder on top that locks it into place, but you can remove the pin to fold it down when nothing is attached. The top part of the bike rack fits the bikes really well and keeps them safe. Ok, I'll tell you why I only gave it 3 stars A few first things it is a PAIN to attach the hitch on this thing to your There were no problems with the screw sliding in, but it was more difficult to line up the holes to push the huge screw through. What makes it even more difficult is that the screw only slides in about half way before it must be screwed the rest of the way in. Getting a pair of pliers helped me unscrew it so I could take it apart. That's so cool! There is another cool feature to this rack, and that is how you can remove the pin and have the rack fold down away from the back of your vehicle, so you can open the back gate and gain access to your vehicle. There is a quarter of the way to fold it down. It doesn't open upwards either like many of them. I own a Jeep Wrangler, and the back door swings out to the side like that. If I had known this before I had bought it, I would have made a better buying decision. Since the heavy rack has to be removed, I cannot open the tailgate. The removal of which requires the use of pliers since they are screwed in. In general, once you have this thing on, it's pretty hard to get it off. Your upward opening back gate won't be much of an issue if you have a regular one. In addition, one other complaint I had was that three of the four bike holders could only be attached to the frame because a set of screws was missing. In the end, I think this thing will last a good long time as it is built well and if I can find someone with a metal cutter I can probably jimmy rig it to fold more than a quarter of the way down so I can And one more thing, if you already have a Wrangler and plan on buying this, make sure that your tires are not larger than You might not be able to fully adjust the rack into the hitch if you go get those huge tires, as the tire will keep it from sliding. was just barely able to make.
The rear gate can be opened by leaning on it. It is August. On June 6, 2020, we will only be assembled and mounting the bike. So far I have not driven. Providing a review. We're quite impressed with the build quality of this four bike rack system. A little more than 2 inches square tube is all that there is between the part that slides into the 2 inch receiver, i. e. , the metal is all about the same size. Although the instruction booklet was not very clear, assembling this umbrella was not too difficult. It is easy and smooth to fold the two parts together. As well as the pins, the cotter safety pins fit tightly. With only one bike to test, it fit perfectly on the rack, sat snugly on the rubber part, and fit on the cushioned part well as well. This was a well-balanced essay. A strong and wide velcro tie down secures the bag. There doesn't seem to be any movement from the rack as the bike is quite secure. When the rack is tilted back to make room for opening the back gate, it is able to swing out enough that the bike can sit almost vertically on its wheels when the rack is removed. The rack is then out of the way until you are ready to open the back It's great to have that option. In addition, the rack is reasonably easy to lower while the bike is on it (1 bicycle). I would ask someone to help me if I needed to lower the rack if there were more than 1 bicycle. Overall, I feel that it will be quite useful to me. The wheels of an adult mountain bike hang about 2 feet off the ground when they are on the rack. A small SUV has an arm which sits about 5ft from the ground so my bike sits about 5ft off the ground. Cars might have different requirements (but it might differ for each model). When it is folded into storage size, it turns out to be smaller than I had thought. The length is about 3ft. That is quite nice. And it is not too heavy for carrying As well, when I have it folded into the car, but attached to the car, I cannot see the hitch in my rearview mirror. I can see out my rear window without being obstructed in any way. However, I can still see it when I back up the car via my rear-view camera. It takes a while to get used to that. On the negative side There are two obvious things that should be done here. First, the rack is secured to the 2 inch hitch receiver with a proprietary or non-standard pin. When it comes out the other side, you can place a cotter pin on it. The pin screws into the male rack part and screws into the cross beam. In the left-to-right direction only. A locking pin is needed to bypass this system, because the male part of the rack has threads that run through the hole. The male part of the rack cannot be bypassed with a pin other than the one that comes with the rack. It would have been great if they left the hole a standard size so people could use their own pins, specifically ones with locks and keys. The update is It was impossible to lock the door before. The chain was 2 feet long (it could have been 18 inches), thick, and heavy. An item that can be locked. The chain was wrapped around the diagonal brace on the bike rack, then welded into place in a chain loop below my hitch receiver. I then locked the chain in place. While it's not ideal, it works in the short term. The hitch pin is much stronger than a hitch pin with a lock. The chain I bought at the hardware store cost me about $6. *Second con you can have any type of padlock you choose. I feel like the hitch receiver is jiggly at the rack. On a dirt road, I can imagine this being an issue with rattles and noise. However, I would have to test it out before I could comment. The update is It turned out to be a simple You can find it on Amazon under the name Prices start at $10 and go up from there. This is the third consolation. This bike rack does not easily hold a girl's bike (no crossbar). It is possible to overcome this limitation by constructing a tension bar bicycle cross Bicycle Rack Crossbar Adaptor can be found online at http//www. bikerackcrossbar. com/ For about $17 and up, you can get the "Bar Top Tube Adjustable Adapter". Despite its threaded pin, however, it is a good value for what it is. The building is strong and flexible so it can be leaned out of the way when needed. August
- Added a picture of the bike mounted on the bike rack after I drove the bike for a short distance. The project worked pretty well overall. However, I did a few things ahead of time to make it work even taped a piece of foam material to the upright bar after noticing that the bike would swing and hit I wrapped a bungie around the upright bar of the bike and the bike so it wouldn't swing around. Regular paved roads were a pleasure to drive on because of this. The security issue, the rattling issue, and the swinging issue have now been taken care of so I am happy with the bike.
