Review on 🚲 IKURAM R 2 Bike Rack Bicycle Carrier Racks Hitch Mount Foldable Rack for Cars, Trucks, SUVs, and Minivans with 2" Hitch Receiver by David Gonzalez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and cheap bike rack

This is a good and cheap bike rack for your 2 inch receiver. It is NOT as strong and easy to use as a wheeled stand, but on the other hand it is not as expensive or heavy either. have one of these and keep it on my RV. I was looking for a lightweight bike rack that could be taken on and off my car when needed and for trips under 100 miles. In general, the stand meets these requirements. Comments: (1) Use the anti-rattle clutch tensioner you get for free (or buy one). Pen, not the one that came with the trunk. Your needle is strong, but I want the case to be in place when I get back from my trip. (3) Be sure to buckle your bike to minimize rocking (4) Contrary to what is shown in the Revain details, the instructions say you should not lower the rack with bikes on it. I haven't tried it as it doesn't. What a sturdy rack and look at the company's commitment. However, when empty, the strut folds out of the car simply and nicely by simply loosening the locking pin. Then I can open the hatch on the back of my Outback. (5) The brace covers the rear camera just enough to weigh it down. Go old school and use your side and rear view mirrors and turn your head or at worst AIM (get out and look). (6) If you leave the stand on the machine, the arms will fall off easily. (7) There are red reflectors at the ends of the shoulders; nice security feature. (8) it is very light and easy to remove if desired. It's easier if you use a non-threaded towbar pin :-) (9) Finally, the wrenches provided are light and can be a good alternative or simply carried in your pannier, but they don't give you exactly the right measurement in the instructions , if you want to use your own stronger wrenches or sockets. You will need 11/16 for the clutch pin.
