Small and functional (2010-08-23) Rating: 4/5
The bike rack came with quick service. It was simple to mount, small, and functional. It does not appear sturdy, but I have not yet encountered any problem yet.
Great rack! (2010-08-23) Rating: 5/5
I needed a bike rack to fit on the spare tire of my 2003 honda suv. And it needed to be afordable. This rack fit the bill! Good solid rack, easy to put on and a good price.
Great Bike-Rack, With A Few Minor Flaws (2010-08-11) Rating: 4/5
Exactly what I needed to tote my bikes around on my Jeep.
It says "3-Bike", but honestly I do not see how it can fit more than two at a time.
Perhaps it's just the way it perches on the rear of my Wrangler, but the inner-most bike position is against my spare tire.
A children's bike may fit, but a fill-sized mountain bike certainly will not.
Being as I only have two bikes (mine and my girlfriend's), this is not really much of an issue to me.
Another point that needs addressing is that the support bar that sits against the wheel is not padded.
If you are attaching this unit to a spare tire that doesn't have a cover, it will be metal-on-metal.
Easiest solution is to hit up Home Depot for a $2.00 piece of black pipe insulation, did the trick for me.
These down-falls far from tarnish the fact that it is an awesome and sturdy bike rack, which attaches and detaches very quickly and easily.

I purchased this bike rack to use on my 2008 Suzuki GV. It was so easy to install (did have to remove the wheel cover). I used it to transport 2 bikes on a 6 hour trip. The bikes went on easily and stayed put with very little additional tie-down. I did use a couple of bungee cords to keep wheels from spinning and add a little additional stabilization. I don't agree that this rack is light-weight. It has a good feel to it and was very easy to use.
Works great! (2010-07-21) Rating: 5/5
Installs quickly. Perfect gift for my husband and his Jeep. His trailer hitch is free. It doesn't rub the paint or show any signs it will...and it was a great price! Our only tip - tighten and then tighten again after you put the bikes on.
