Solid Rack, Easy To Use
This is first review of the hitch and rack after assembling and mounting to the car. Good solid construction. Takes abut 30 min to assemble and install. All materials are solid, no cheap stuff. Bike mounts easily. Solid hold on the bike. Will continue this review after riding around with bikes on the car. Great ride, no sway at the hitch junction. Bike is SECURELY mounted to the carrier. As always, I add a safety strap just in case as anything' can happen. Just got back from a 3400 mile trip with two bikes in the carrier. Not a single problem while bouncing on the road from Fl to Ct and back. I highly recommend this rack for the ease of getting bikes on and off and the security. No that I have had if for quite some time, I am very happy with it. It is a GOOD IDEA TO MAKE SURE THE CLAIMS ARE TIGHT AND WHEELS ARE IN THE RECEPTACLES. For safety sake, I use a bungee cord on both bikes to make sure nothing happens, The mechanism has holes for a lock to be inserted to prevent theft or use a regular bike lock.
