Review on 🚲 SportRack Ridge Hitch Mount Bike Carrier by Jerry Olson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's not as easy as it sounds

THINGS TO KNOW FOR ASSEMBLY. There is a 12mm T-handle screw that is used to hold the rack securely in the closed position. I could not get this bolt to engage the vertical portion of the mast it is intended to screw into and secure. Do not thread this nylock nut far enough to expose enough threads to properly engage the vertical mast. For some time I was perplexed by this dilemma. Reach inside the tube and grip the nylon nut firmly enough to slide the T-handle nut through. It's not as easy as it seems. activated and protected as intended. You also need to be careful when closing the swing that you close it tight enough so that the two pieces line up properly. Turns out it's very easy to cross the T-handle's screw if you're not careful, and the two pieces aren't parallel. Despite these annoyances, once you assemble it and understand how to handle it, it becomes rock solid. I would buy it again.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some small things
