Review: A hitch that does it all... - This hitch hold two bikes, thats all I needed. One would have been enough. Easy to convert to a 2 inch receiver, but my hitch is 1 1/4. The mechanism tichtens up securely and locks in place for anti theft. Nice! All the necessary pins are easily removable. One pulls out to drop your bike to the ground to unload it. Also nice! The top folds down for storage. I bought a wall mountable receiver to mount it to my wall for storage, and you can also service it while it is in there. It hangs the bike far away enough from the wall to service your drivetrain or wheels. I imagine that you could also disassemble your fork if you wanted to. The flatter your top tube is, the easier that will be. I use a bungee cord to keep my bike from flapping in the hitch. I think the instructions recommend that. This is a well built piece and it look like it will last for years. I do recommendthis product and would purchase it again. Review: Better than expected! - First time I'm written a product review, but this one is worth the time. Took a chance and ordered this without knowing exactly what to expect. Placed the order Saturday, got it on Monday PM (way to go Prime!), and installed it after I got home from work. Opening the box, it was very well packed - no damage, no missing parts. Nice easy, clear instructions; best assembled with a set of socket wrenches. The quality of the materials and the welds, finish etc. are first rate! Most impressive feature is the pure genius of built-in locking mechanism; works like an expanding anchor bolt inside the hitch receiver. Simply engage the knob (there's a key for this) and turn it until it's tight. Leaves no slop between the rack tube and the receiver tube. Solid! No need for a separate padlock/pin to secure it to the vehicle. Brilliant! My installation is on a Honda Ridgeline, and as you can see from the photos it tilts out far enough to give full access to the rear box. Highly recommend this product. ## Features - Features.

Very simple assembly and the rack has beefy solid construction. The rack slipped into my Honda Ridgeline's 2" hitch and after a few turns of the tightening knob, the rack was rock solid, no wobble at all at the hitch, just a bit of wobble at the tilting joint which I expected. I was anticipating getting a hitch clamp but it certainly wasn't needed. Drove about 30 miles after picking up my new bike, and the rack was perfect. I could not see it move at all. I did bungee the wheels to each other to keep the front wheel from swaying and put a piece of pool noodle around the frame of the bike so it wouldn't make contact with the rack and possibly scratch the bike frame (I'll add some adhesive foam padding to the rack frame to sort this.) The straps stayed tight for the trip and I'll eventually swap them out for replacement cradles with the rubber ladder straps just so loading and unloading is quicker and easier. Had no problem with removing the rack from the hitch as some others have. I Just turned the knob counter clockwise and the rack pulled right out. This is a cost effective and worry free way to transport your bikes safely. A great purchase! ## Frequently Bought Together - Allen Sports Deluxe Locking Quick Release 2-Bike Carrier for 2 Inch & 1 4 in.
