A Very Solid Bike Rack
I hesitated buying this rack as there seemed to be many users not too satisfied with it. I'm only hanging two bikes so I figured I would give it a try... and the price was right. I must say that I am very pleased with this model. It has a very solid heavy construction and, if mounted and tightened correctly as it should, does not shake and rattle around as I was expecting from reading other reviews. For my use I will give it 5 stars.
not good, scratches your bike
Don't buy this if you value your bike's paint job. Doesn't feel sturdy at all.
Backroad 2-Bike Hitch.
This bike carrier arrives only one bolt short of completely assembled. Construction, finish are first-class. Instructions for assembly/use are clear and complete. All tie-down gear needed to secure bikes to carrier is included. Carrier package includes wrenches required for assembly and installation. Assembly is very simple. Only hoping the plastic securing straps will be serviceable over many uses. Rack itself seems quite sturdy.
limited use
My husband’s bike fit no problem. But my beach cruiser - a “woman’s” style will not fit. Not to worry though, Yakima will sell me a $49 adaptor. Why not make the rack to work with both styles of bikes to begin with? Grrrrr.
