Cipriano Sun, 09 May 2010 20:47:49 +0000 http://www.sportssportinggoods.com/allen-deluxe-3-bike-hitch-mount-rack#comment-1121 I have purchased this a few months ago and have used it 4 times. It holds a Mens 26" bike and womens 24" bike and a kids 16" bike just fine. The only thing that I have noticed it that is dose sway when driving. But I have not noticed and issues with it. We are useing this on a Trailblazer LTZ. IT is not used daily only on beach trips or the ocasional road trip.. Good for the price Rating: 4 / 5 I have purchased this a few months ago and have used it 4 times. It holds a Mens 26″ bike and womens 24″ bike and a kids 16″ bike just fine.

Does not rock one bit when installed in the hitch receiver. I did, however, replace the pin that allows the neck to fold down with a bolt because I installed this on a sedan, so I didn't have a problem opening the trunk. That made it even more soild.

Kreinbrink Sun, 09 May 2010 17:35:44 +0000 http://www.sportssportinggoods.com/allen-deluxe-3-bike-hitch-mount-rack#comment-1119 Great bike rack all around. Easy to assemble, just make sure you have the tools to do so. The locking washers are a pain without the proper wrenches. The "anti-wobble" bolt to make sure the rack doesn't sway from side to side is a little difficult to install, and it took me a few tries to get it right, but now it is rock solid and won't move anywhere. The fold down mechanism works like a charm, you just have to make sure you don't tighten the two bolts at the top too much or it will be really difficult to move. <br /> <br />Positives: <br />+ Easy to assemble <br />+ Very sturdy <br />+ Holds the bikes very well <br /> <br />Negatives: <br />- Wal-Mart has the same rack for $23 cheaper at the time of this review (which I found out AFTER the fact, come on Amazon!) <br />- Instructions could be a bit more clear, but they have a great instructional video on the company website.

Positives:

+ Easy to assemble

+ Very sturdy

+ Holds the bikes very well

Negatives:

- Wal-Mart has the same rack for $23 cheaper at the time of this review (which I found out AFTER the fact, come on Amazon!)

- Instructions could be a bit more clear, but they have a great instructional video on the company website.

I was nervous about carrying bikes at first as I have a small car with a 1.25" hitch; but now feel confident about the whole process. Follow the straight-forward instructions and take your time to do it right. The bikes ride very well; it is quick and easy to secure them properly. I am very pleased with the whole set-up.

We took a 300 mile trip to the beach with this rack and our two bikes were rock solid as we went down the road. Easy installation, folds down easily, and nice tilt feature for trunk access.
