---------------------------------- HOW SECURE IS THIS? ----------------------------- When installed properly, the rack is very strong and very reliable, much larger than that Allen Sports model which I also bought. I had virtually no bouncing/wiggling which gave me peace of mind that I did NOT have to constantly check my rear view mirror to make sure my bike was down which was nice. It comes pre-assembled by Allen Sports, so there's no real problem for the consumer to put it together incorrectly. All you have to do is follow the instructions or watch the tutorial video and it will be installed on your car in minutes. This is a very well built mount that will likely last for years without issue. The frame of this rack is wider than that of the Allen Sports rack I also purchased which helped reduce the bouncing/wobble that Allen Sports suffered from. This frame also had rubber straps which were more secure than the fabric straps that Allen Sports had. With a wider frame, it helps support and distribute bike weight more efficiently than an Allen Sports rack. ------------------------ WILL MY CAR SCRATCH?--------------------- ------------- There is foam on top of the mount which covers all areas where it will contact your car's paintwork, so in theory it should be protected. For peace of mind, it may be worth simply covering the pedals with a toe or something soft and then securing the front wheels of the bike with a bungee cord for added protection from bumps in the road. scratch my car and/or my car. Please be sure to clean your car's paintwork where you intend to apply it to avoid dirt getting stuck between the foam and the paintwork which can and will scratch your paintwork. ---------------- -------------------WHAT'S INCLUDED------------ - ----- As previously mentioned, the bracket comes pre-assembled. You will need the included bike straps and another set of straps (also included) to attach the mount to your vehicle. ------- -- - ------------------------ RECOMMENDED BUT NOT INCLUDED ----- ------- -------- Transport cable - to protect the front tires and pedals from movement and impact on your car.-------------------- ----- --------- -------- SUMMARY -------------------------------- -- ------- Appropriately inexpensive mount, very well made and solid thanks to the wide frame and rubber straps. If you want a more secure luggage rack, you need to raise the hitch mount. While driving at 70-75 mph on the freeway, I was NOT constantly checking my rearview mirror to make sure the bike hadn't fallen over. off the shelf. I had the assurance that my bike would be there when I got home. When I got home I checked the straps and everything was well secured and my bike wouldn't budge! ------------- --------PROS-------------- --------------------* Bike rack for 3 bikes with easy hub adjustment system* Soft feet protect the bike cover; comes pre-assembled* Built-in seat belt for added safety on the road* Ideal for any vehicle type* Folds away for easy storage; Limited Lifetime Warranty ---------------------------------- CONS ------------ ----------------------* Bikes cannot be attached to the carrier* Carrier cannot be attached to the vehicle
