🚗 Allen Sports Deluxe Spare Tire Rack for 2 Bicycles Review

04 Toyota Rav 4. This bike carrier was very easy to fit out of the box with just 2 pliers. The vehicle has an aftermarket hitch so here we attached the strut by removing the wheel cover. An elastic cord was used to attach the front wheel of the bike, which was placed closest to the spare wheel. it didn't move or interfere with the outside bike. There were many reviews with pictures of what it looks like installed but not with the bike attached. Here are a few shots of what ours looked like…

I don't give a product 5 stars lightly, but for the price and given that I have a 35" spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler, this item was exactly what I needed . It worked great on the interstate on a long two-mountain bike ride and ran easily on some "easy" trails. The only complaint I'd mention is that Jeep Wrangler owners have to unbuckle their seatbelts to open the tailgate, but that's to be expected. It takes no time to adjust the tailgate to open, close and reattach on the road. This is a solid

Couldn't find a review that anyone could tell what size tire fits this tyre. I set it to 31 x 10.5 on a 15" rim. It fits well there, but the straps have an elastic section, so I don't quite trust the straps on a $4,000 bike. I'll use a ratchet strap or two to make sure it's secure before putting my bike in there. When my bike falls off the stand it's best to trust me to update the review but so far I'm happy. The spanner sold by Allen (for bikes without a straight top tube) fits with plenty of…

Read many reviews. I started with the bad and then the good. I took a risk I saw this product on the Quadratec website and saw that there were good things about it. This trunk was mounted on a JL with a standard 20" tire with cover. Assembly took about 20 minutes. Make sure you have two 7/16 inch wrenches to tighten the bolts. Contrary to the instructions, I attached the lower straps to the door under the bumper as shown by Quadratec. This allowed the door to be moved as needed. Both bikes were

Purchased on 08/13/18. Very good heavy duty two wheeler carrier holds up to 70 lbs. The description is not clear; However; This bike rack (model 302DN) is only for 1994-2018 Jeep Wranglers (JK) (not 2018 JL as clearly stated), 2002-2009 Jeep Liberty and 1997-2006 Honda CRV which are located on the back of the package. Package. The stand is very well built and easy to assemble (just use a 7/16 screwdriver, socket or wrench). It is highly recommended that you take your time installing the dowel…

As it turns out, I don't think it's as secure on some vehicles as the bottom latch isn't attached as securely, even on vehicles that are on the 'compatible' list. I think if you tinker a little you can make it safer. I plan to use some of the ratchet straps to tighten the post to the bar. This is my only serious complaint. I believe this can easily be remedied by adding extra straps to the tire. Another minor complaint is the buckle mechanism that ties your bike to the rack mounts. I would like

SUVs with an external spare wheel can pose a problem for bike racks if they have no alternative to a tow bar. My "old" 2004 Honda CRV is configured to rule out almost all other options. However, this rack works VERY well, and at this price point, I was particularly impressed with its solid construction, ease of use, and stable performance. It grips the spare tire well - even with the left trunk - so putting it on and taking it off is a breeze. You can download the pdf installation file from the

I made the mistake of not reading the one star reviews on this product which in hindsight sounded very similar to my experience. I bought this carrier on purpose because it was an affordable option for my Jeep Wrangler that has a spare tire in the back. I installed it according to the instructions and then checked and rechecked before using. I get a use out of it while just carrying my bike. Next time I added a friend's bike (since it was advertised as being able to carry two bikes). Five…
