 The best so far For Five...Jul 26, 2010
After struggling with the usual 2 rod style racks, this simple, strong rack is a breeze and a pleasure to use. No sweat, no grief. My family's 5 bikes slip on and off in about 3 mins. Easy easy easy! Strong and solid on 3oo mile road trip days. Highly recommended!
Great product. Carrys 5 bikes easily and safley!!!Jun 01, 2010
Love the bike rack. We went over 600 miles one way through NY City and was no problem for the bike rack. Never had one problem the whole trip. After loading and unloading a few times you start to get the hnag of it. Only thing is, if you have a bike with an oversized frame, mountain bike, kids bikes, you will have to go puchase an add on bar for each bike. They attach from handle bar to under seat and then you raise the seat as high as it can go. Once these add on bars were purchased it was a cinch. But we were dead in the water, until we purchased those. The cradles only fit the regular size tubing or slightly larger of bike frame. Loved it though. Thanks Swagman

Very well constructed of solid materials, works great, would buy again. Directions are poor, Amazon.com and [...] pictures are both off, but Swagman's are fairly close. [...]
Works well after modificationSep 07, 2009
Bike rack works very well with some modifications. I put the rack on the back of a 36' 5th wheel camper, it tends to get a lot of bounce with 5 bikes. I did away with the pin that lets it fold down and made it a rigid assembly, drilled an extra hole in the receiver, welded 5/8 washers to the side of the bike receiver where the pins go to get rid of the play, so I could bolt the receiver tight to the vehicle receiver.
I did have some difficulties initially trying to put the bikes on the rack. I had to use some of the bike seat posts to attach to the bike rack, if they could only make frames the same on the bikes, or is there another bracket that would help in this situation?
We just got back from a trip, and worked well after everything.

How could it be improved? It can'tJun 17, 2009
I have owned 2 bike racks. One was not worth anything, the other was difficult to use. This is the perfect rack.
1) Five bikes, few others do this.
2) The cradles are adjustable on angle with initial setup. This is the definitive factor! If you've never used a rack try to put bikes of different size and style if you don't have this feature. Just try...
3) The cradles are well designed, padded great, and can accommodate a large range of frame.
4) It folds down which is huge if you use a locking pin.
This is one of the best designed products I have used in a long time.
