Review on 🚲 Hollywood Racks Commuter 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (Fits 1.25 and 2-Inch Receivers) - Enhanced SEO by Willie Midkiff

Well made bike rack, good value for money. It is robust and includes an adapter for use with a Class III/IV pickup hitch (ie 2 inch hitches). " Port size to basically convert it for use with a 2" hitch. Also, it folds up so you can raise the tailgate. However, you can't ride with the bike rack down. You actually have to remove one of the pins/ Bolts holding the bike rack to the hitch bar so the whole thing basically tilts on its lower axis It wouldn't be safe to drive without the pin attached It only fits 2 bikes and the holders are rubber with rubber pads at the top Prevent scratches on the frame Also, there is a black strap that you wrap around the bike, which I think the strap and braces are Cons: 1. You need to buy a special tool if you have an alternative or non-traditional bike have, like most girls, Electra bikes or a vintage girls road bike, a beach cruiser, a bike townie style or a vintage style girls bike. like Elektra or Elektra Loft. This luggage rack only works with bikes whose frame is parallel to the ground when riding. The frame is supported by two handles. If your bike doesn't do this, you won't be able to mount it in the luggage rack as the weight distribution won't be right and you risk falling over. You need to buy a special mount like "frame adapter" or "pull bar".2. The coupling is bolted to the existing trailer coupling. That means there's a threaded shoulder bolt that you put through a hole in the hitch and bolt directly to the part of the bike rack that connects to your car's receiver hitch. This means the standard hitch pin will NOT fit, it's too big and unthreaded. If you have a hitch lock pin that you normally use with a receiver hitch, unfortunately it is not compatible with this rack. You must purchase their custom locking pin mount. The user manual promotes the Hollywood Rack frame adapter and its trailer locking pin, both of which are sold separately, eliminating the above two disadvantages.3. Recently the manufacturer changed the design of the rack, so you will not receive exactly what is shown in the photo. I think this is actually intended as an improvement. Well, the box and instruction manual still show the stand pictured above. However, when you open the box you will receive a new part (see photo). Essentially, the bottom corner of the bike rack is no longer a flat 90° angle. Now it's a rounded edge. The weld is round, not square. I've attached a photo of the new part to the top of the owner's manual in the box that shows the old part. It's pretty obvious as it's a very large chunk. I consider this a design improvement as the bottom of the bike rack rises higher off the ground.
