Review on 🚲 Ultimate Platform Style 4 Bike Carrier: Secure and Convenient Transportation Solution by Tim Beardsley

wrenches on both sides. Unfortunately, ours came with a manufacturing defect. The short base assembly has 3 pairs of quarter circle cutouts that allow the horizontal and vertical arms to be positioned horizontally or vertically, which is important if you want to fold it for storage or fold it close to the vehicle while driving. attached to the trailer hitch, but does not transport bicycles. The stem is quite difficult to attach and detach from the hitch as the bolt that attaches it to the hitch is VERY long (requires twist, turn and twist to fully tighten) and the stem itself is VERY long is hard. That way, you don't have to remove and reattach the rail from the coupler more often than is absolutely necessary. We had one of the quarter circle cutouts that went in opposite directions, which meant the vertical arm couldn't fold into a horizontal position and the trunk couldn't fold down to the car when there were no bikes. at the counter. This was a deal breaker for us, so I went to the trouble of fully disassembling it and putting it back in the box, even though I fully assembled it before figuring out the problem. We are currently awaiting a replacement device which will hopefully not have similar manufacturing issues. This time I will test the same issue more thoroughly before proceeding with a full build. The update will take place after we have received the replacement device. Since it was already assembled, we tested the returned unit. We put 4 bikes on it and set off. Tightening end gears is pretty easy. Putting on the first medium bike is also easy. Installing a second mid-size bike can be a hassle. There is not enough space to easily add another bike if you already have a bike in one of the middle positions. I'll have to look at other reviews to see if there's a trick to putting the second middle bike on. I succeeded, but it was inelegant. I had to be careful not to break the cables or damage the spokes.
