“Just installed and used the rack for the first time. So far it appears to be well-made and sturdy. Really like the flexibility of swing down (when no bikes) and swing out with or without bikes. Bright blue contrasting controls are a nice touch. Minor suggestions: 1) Make the drawings in the directions for installation larger for those of us with less than perfect sight. 2) In consultation with local bike shop, decided to not locate the curved arm that restrains the top of the front wheel as instructed. Located at 180 degrees from equidistant point between bottom constraints. Push hard against the tire and it really secures the wheel without potential interference with the brake calipers. 3) Installation instructions could use some additional advice for placing the individual bike mounts. It wasn't obvious to me and just took a guess. It needs some adjustment and I'll do that at some point after more experience. Summary: I highly recommend this model and cross shopped against Thule and Yakima. Since we have low step over frames, this was a lower cost but high quality option.”

“Just finished assembling this, and it’s awesome. Seems very well put together and the bikes fit snugly in it. Worth the money!”
