I chose this type of bike rack after searching all types of bike racks on the internet. To be honest I'm very happy with this purchase and this type of bike rack, it's easy to use and keeps bikes safe and secure. The reason I chose the Swagman brand is that it is a very competitive price compared to other brands of bike racks on the market that offer the same as this bike rack. Don't pay hundreds of dollars more for a product that performs the same function! Pros: The first thing that comes to mind about this product is the build quality of this rack. It is built strong, stable and durable. When I first received this shelf I was surprised at its durability. The second good thing about this rack is how easy it is to install on your car, it takes about 5 minutes to "install" or "remove" this rack from your car. It is very simple and easy to figure out how to do this. Basically you insert the post into the resulting hitch and then insert a threaded bolt through one side of the receiver hitch, then push it from the other side and start screwing it into the other. Side. Then I take a wrench and tighten the bolt, then put a cotter pin in the end of the bolt and you're done. The third advantage of this bike rack is the easy loading and unloading of bikes. It literally takes 1 minute to unload 2 bikes from this rack and then you're ready to ride. There is no need to attach a front wheel or lift bikes up or down from the roof of a car or truck bed, you simply loosen the tension on the bike and then remove it from the carrier. Cons: the only one. What I don't like about this luggage rack is that it has to fold down to access the tailgate when installed on my truck. And with bikes on the rack, you're either unlucky or have to remove the bikes from the rack to access the tailgate. Overall it's not that big of a deal and I think the benefit the stance offers far outweighs this small issue. Overall: I've been using this bike rack for 2 or 3 years now and haven't had any issues and have never owned a bike. break off, fall off or something. I ride almost every day and the trailers I ride are about 10 miles from my house so I have to charge my bike every time I want to ride. That being said, it's not every day I want to lift the bike onto a truck, nor do I want to take the front wheel off every day. For me the biggest benefit of this rack is being able to load my bike on it in literally seconds, put Masterlock on it to keep it safe and secure and then I'm ready to ride! I can promise you that you will not be disappointed with this purchase and it is a very nicely designed stand that works great! Perfect kickstand for people like me who ride every day and don't want to take the bike apart after every ride.
