Review on Adjustable Bicycle Top Tube Adapter - FIERYRED Bike Rack Cross-Bar, Capacity 75 lbs by Mike Rice

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Defective rivets on the locking ends. Dangerous to transport!

I need to warn other drivers. This product is dangerous. It was advertised as Heavy Duty for heavier bikes. The ends have a rivet that holds the lock in place. This rivet is weak, fails and breaks. I have used this bar 3 times for short distances on my stance. Yesterday during transport we noticed that my bike had changed its position on the luggage rack. We stopped and found the bike had gone down. We messed up to keep the right position. We are concerned that other people may not notice the rivet failure and the bike may fall off. Also, it's not a pull rod, which is inconvenient. Urgently contact the manufacturer!
