About Allen Bike Racks

In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.

Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts, garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns more than three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

User questions & answers

Question:	About how long does it take to put on/ take off
Answer:	Made in Mexico
Question:	prius
Answer:	Hello there, and thank you for reaching out. We're not longer producing the filters or Brita Squeeze Bottles, these filters are for our Premium Filtering Water Bottles. We hope this helps, for additional questions please reach out to our team at 800-242-7482 and reference number 200910-001362. Have a great day. Ashley from the Brita team
Question:	my husband said it wont fit cause i have a girls bike and it wont fit his bike cause they are both cruisers w/o a solid straight bar
Answer:	Nate, I can’t really answer which filter is better as that is a matter of opinion but according to the Brita site, the water bottle filters are effective in removing chlorine taste and odor as well as filtering class VI particulates. Class VI particulates are >50 microns in size. Hope this helps.
Question:	Does it fold
Answer:	It doesn't have an exact expiration date. However, I bought this for my 13 yr old daughter. She drinks alot of room temperature water. (I'd say minimum of 6 bottles per day if not more) Because she drinks so much, I replace her filter every 45 days. I think it depends on how much water u think you'd drink daily. On average it can be used about 3 months before being changed out. I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Anybody try this on a 2006 Ford Escape? I'm having trouble tightening the bottom strap
Answer:	Since no one has answered your question I'll take a shot at it. There may have a few causes for "... trouble tightening the bottom strap" assuming it means the rack is not snug, . Make sure the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle so it will grip, not slip when tightened and tie it off around the strap as further assurances it will not slip. The bottom strap may loosen up when the bike is put on the rack so either apply some downward force on the rack or put the bike on the rack before tightening the bottom strap.
Question:	Will this fit my 2019 Toyota Camry sedan
Answer:	Yes, as long it doesn’t have a foil. Go to Allen Sports web site look up theUltra Compact Folding 1 and it will show all vehicles that are compatible.
Question:	if my bike weighs a little more than 35lb, around 38lb for example, will the rack work? will the pedal scratch my car
Answer:	yes, I don't see the 3lbs as an issue at all. Install so the weight is evenly distributed. As far as the pedals, my bike does not scatch, the mount offsets the pedals.
Question:	Are there any scratches resulting from this bike rack? I see there are metal hooks that hook the top of the trunk and underneath the... car? Thank you
Answer:	The hooks are coated with a resin that seems like a semi-hard polyester. You can also put some electrical tape on them to soften the touch. I haven't had any scratching, but if I were driving my brand new $445,000 Lamborghini instead of my 10 year old $6000 Ford Escape, I might hesitate to use this rack.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the pin size
Answer:	The hole on the rack for the hitch pin is 1/2". This is designed to work with the No Wobble Bolt that is included with the rack. This bolt works to securely tighten the rack when installed on the vehicle and keeps the rack from moving during use.
Question:	how do you put a womens bike on this rack
Answer:	The brackets that the straps are attached to rotate around the rack arms, making it fairly easy once you figure out the best position. I actually had 3 women's bikes on the rack with no problems. The straps were on the diagonal bar and the vertical bar below the seat and it was very tight, no movement at all. No issues with women's bikes at all here.
Question:	What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack? I've never used a hitch rack before
Answer:	If you are talking about leaving the bikes, we purchased the doberman lock and secured the bikes and lock to the straight pole on back, we have two to interweave between the bike wheels and the pole. We also brought a locking pin for the hitch. Never had a problem, we have left them on there while down the shore, on bike trails while we walk or go to get something to eat.
Question:	What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms
Answer:	On the current version (2016 and newer) hitch racks, the carry arms are 11.5" apart on center. This translates to an outside dimension of approximately 13"

Question:	Can this be used on toyota fj cruiser
Answer:	Bought this for my FJ cruiser. It fit and seemed to be securely on it. But the whole thing popped off the car while on the road, even with an additional lock on it. (It also covers the reverse sensor so the FJ alarm will trigger whenever backing up.) If you end up buying this, look at the flimsy clips that are suppose to hold onto the bottom of the back door. Even with the door closed, the FJ's doorframe will not help keep those little clips in place.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does "tilt back for easy lift-gate access" mean? will it tilt back to lift an suv hatch
Answer:	I have a Chevy Cruze and have a substantial clearing when I raise my trunk
Question:	Does this sway back and forth while you drive with bikes on it
Answer:	Yes. Mi,e is new it does sway back and forth. It appears some people answered this about putting the bolt in. The automatic quick release ones do not have a bolt that you put in. It has the locking mechanism on it that is supposed to expand and keep it from wobbling but I can't see it's doing that. Disappointed in that as it makes me feel like it's not entirely safe going down the street. Thought it would be easier to use because it says no tools required to put it on the hitch. But it doesn't seem to be holding as well as the standard ones you palpable through
Question:	will this rack work with an external spare tire on the back of the car; Toyota RAV
Answer:	Do not buy any product from this company. We had a 4 bike rack. The frame broke off while we were driving and we lost all 4 bikes. Company would not stand behind warranty
Question:	I read one review that the person had trouble adapting the hitch to a 2" receiver. Has anyone else had that problem
Answer:	It comes with an adapter for the 2 inch receiver and am currently using it on my truck with no problems at all.

About Allen Sports

Dick Allen (pictured left in 1972) started Allen Sports in his garage in 1967. Since its founding, the company has been committed to producing the highest-quality, easiest-to-use bike racks and bicycle related products on the market. Dick, a onetime aerospace engineer, opened Allen Sports after building a prototype bike carrier in his Lincoln, Massachusetts shop in his free time. The first ever trunk-mounted bicycle carrier made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding) was refined on weekend excursions to Cape Cod. Shortly afterward, Allen took his design to market, and by 1971 had established a national presence for his product.

Today, the family owned company operates four warehouses nationally, six factories abroad, and sells products in countries around the world including USA, Mexico, Canada, and China.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does thus fit a 2004 Gmc envoy? And do i have to remove it when not in use to reach the hatch
Answer:	It fits the smaller receiver but also has an adapter that fit snuggly into a 2" receiver. It also has the ability to lean back to get into the hatch window, but we could not open the tailgate without removing the rack on our Pilot.
Question:	The bike carrier wobbles at the tilt away release - how do I stop the wobble
Answer:	You can add a plastic or metal shin plate that would sit inside
Question:	How does everyone keep the front wheel and bike from from banging around since this only secures the top portion of the bike
Answer:	I use a combination bike lock (alone when I'm just going down the road to a bike path) and bungee cords (for longer trips/transports). I thread it so secures the wheels and prevents theft.
Question:	The carrier wobbles badly in a receiver. Does anyone know the way to fix
Answer:	As others have mentioned - it WILL NOT wobble IF you use the wobble bolt that came with it and tighten it all the way. No Wobble. BUt I still am concerned and have a question: The wobble bolt nut has a nylon thread to keep it from coming loose. But nylon threaded nuts are not designed to take on and off. The nylon loses its bite. Well, I need to take it on and off often. What is the recommendation from Allen?
