Review on Organize and Store with 1UP USA Rack Stash: Hitch Mounted Bike Rack, Ski, and Cargo Garage Organizer by Owen Phi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well but mislabeled for 1.25 " clutch

Due to the mixed reviews I was hesitant to order this hanger but couldn't find a better solution in the short term. Ordered the hitch bracket, received it and installed it in the barn, now I understand exactly why many people have problems: despite the fact that the sales page says 1.25 inch hitch and the product packaging says 1.25 inch hitch right on the paper packaging says, a product that is actually configured for a 2 inch hitch. Luckily, the product is cleverly designed to work with both 2" and 1.25" hitches. A hex wrench is needed to set the red standoffs to 1.25" mode. People who install a hitch without realizing it find their 1.25" hitch hopelessly falling into a 2" hole. The manufacturer really has to work on that. on her label to stop getting such bad reviews. In true 1.25 inch mode, I found this hanger worked very well. It's relatively easy to install with the included hardware and a drill + impact wrench, securely holds a 1.25" hitch to a Thule bike rack and has extra space for hitch pins/adapters. It is well made, which is probably the reason for the (relatively) high price.

Pros
  • Easy to use
