Review on 🚲 Stromberg Carlson LA-102 Universal Ladder Bike Rack: Secure and Convenient 1-Inch Attachment by Jayshawn Cuatlayol

This bike rack looks good and can easily handle two standard cruisers. I thought I had made a really good purchase until I started installing it. There was no "highlight" at the end of the outer rail. This is the part that keeps the bike pad from slipping off the end of the rail. I should have stopped there and returned the rack, but I used a self-tapping screw to stop it. We loaded our bikes and set out on the 350 mile round trip to the beach. Most of the roads were dual carriageway and not very good so the RV bounced around a lot. However, this bike rack is clearly designed for placement in the back of a camper van and should be strong enough to handle some of the lower quality roads than the Autobahn. It's not like this. When we got home the plastic bushing at the bottom of the inner rail was squeezed out of the bushing, the inner rail was badly bent and the swivel at the top was wedged so it couldn't rotate. The bottom line is, if you actually use this bike rack for its intended purpose, it won't last.
