Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Retrospec Lenox Car Hitch Mount Bike Rack: Secure Transport for 2-5 Bikes by Jerry Delic

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not Recommended - Bike Rack

Easy to assemble and easy to attach to whatever hitch you use it on, but the quality of this particular bike rack sucks. I've only ever used it to carry two adult bikes in the back of my caravan. And there is incredible play in the pins that lock it in place, causing it to bounce off bikes excessively and cause $100 worth of damage to my bike. After repairing and reusing my bike, I used foam noodles to protect the cables on my bike and also used a wratchet strap to keep my bikes from bouncing. The bracket that attaches to the 4x4 bumper broke and I was very lucky not to lose my bikes on the side of the freeway. Needless to say the stand is officially junk and was thrown in the trash after just 3 months of use. The plastic zip ties on the carrier arms that hold your bike's frame are also junk and are constantly moving and almost slipping off the end of the carrier. I've put them on at least 4 times and didn't want to over tighten them as they are all plastic. I highly recommend spending a little more money and getting something more reliable.

Pros
  • Accessory
