Great idea, spotty execution
By Mark W. Ingalls
This swing-away bike rack allows us to keep three bikes racked AND LOCKED while still using the door to our truck camper. We use a cable lock that we thread through a permanent eye on the truck bumper and then through all six wheels and three frames. That's the great part.The spotty part is that there appears to be only one way to hang the three bikes: The middle one has to be upside-down. :( This problem could have been remedied by allowing more space on the horizontal tube to which the bikes are mounted.Overall, I would definitely, definitely choose this swing-away rack over the higher priced name-brand models!

broken after 2 months
By bc
I bought the rack, used it less than 10 times and now it is broken and I'm not getting any help from the manufacturer. When it worked I loved it, maybe a little harder to get the bikes on and off, but for the money it was great. I had one of the mounting bolts that secures the bike to the rack freeze up. The nut it threads into is hidden inside the rack and can't be accessed and the only way to remove the bike was to cut the bolts with a hacksaw. Now even using screw extractors and long handled pliers I still can't remove the stuck bolt. After contacting the manufacturer with my problem I was offered the opportunity to purchase a replacement bolt for $5 plus shipping, and payment can only be made by paypal...no help on how to remove the bolt or an offer of replacement.

A great option for Pick Ups and SUV's
By Puppy Girl
I have had my rack for many years now. It has withstood a harsh marine environment and is still in great shape. The top plate has a lock. We have had 3 bikes on it many times and you simply alternate the direction of the bikes. Having the rack swing out and then be able to pivot the top to place the bikes alongside the car is a very useful feature. The only complaint I have is the length of the threads on the mount. It is designed to accomodate fat tube frames. If you don't mount a fat tube framed bike, you spend some time screwing on the securing knobs. We have found that shaking the bicycles a little while finishing up securing the knobs creates a very good tight fit over the cross tube. Overall a well designed and well built product.
