Review on 🚲 Allen Sports Premier Spare Tire Rack for 2 Bikes (Model S302) by Jamil Fog

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why pay more? for bike mounts

$300 model from REI. At $50, this model seemed cheap - suspiciously cheap. I tried this model and I am very satisfied with my purchase. The installation took only a few minutes and everything was fine. Note for this model. The RAV4 straps were barely long enough to slip under the bumper and I solved this problem by attaching a carabiner through the hole I wanted the strap to reach and clipping the strap to the clip. I used it on a pretty windy day for a 750 mile ride from California to Utah. Although it seemed very durable on my road, it was still twitchy from the first tank of gas. I kept looking in the rearview mirror. , paranoia would pop it free somehow. I inspected the bikes at my first gas station and they were strapped in as I left them. I didn't worry about the bikes for the rest of the trip. I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Quick Set 15 inch long carry handles snap right out of the box
Cons
  • Don't really like it, it's ok
