Review on 🚲 Amazon Basics 2-Inch Hitch Bike Racks (2, 3, or 4 Bike Capacity) by Meech Elliott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The most important life hack. You must use the screw provided to attach the post to the hitch

This product is very durable and definitely a great product if you can overcome a little difficulty with the product. These difficulties are as follows: 1) You must use the screw that comes with the kit to attach the rail to the hitch as it has threads to screw the screw into the hole. I tried using my own locking pin but failed miserably for 10 minutes until I went back to the reviews to read how other people are using it. A workaround is that you can use a slightly smaller (1/2 inch) clutch pin. I bought the Master Lock 2866DAT because it comes with both 1/2" and 5/8" fingers. I think it's secure enough and there isn't much play to move the rack. Also, given the complexity of #22), it's fairly reliable. The trunk barely fits in the trailer hitch. him on the spot. All of this is worth a savings of several hundred dollars over other high-end competitors.
