User questions & answers

Question:	Can my tailgate come down with this on
Answer:	Not with the bikes in the carrier, but if you don’t put the center post in, you can lowe the tailgate.
Question:	Will this work with a 29” full suspension? Length I guess the main concern
Answer:	Yes it will work..
Question:	could it hold Radrover 4"fat electric bike
Answer:	If the 4” refers to the width of your tires, then no it won’t. I have a mountain bike with 2.65 tires and I either let the air out of the tires or force them in the tire cradle.
Question:	How easily does the fold down function work
Answer:	It looks like the latest iteration of the product (Sep, 2020) no longer offers the fold down feature.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it fold for storing
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:	Would this fit on a 2012 Nissan Rogue
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 is the max weight capacity for bikes on this rack
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:	Why does the description say not for RVs? Has anyone tried this with a motorhome or trailer with success
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"

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the pin size
Answer:	Don't know but make sure you are inserting into a 2" hitch..... think they are all the same size.
Question:	how do you put a womens bike on this rack
Answer:	Our bike rack is black.
Question:	What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack? I've never used a hitch rack before
Answer:	the lowest point at the back of the rack is 4.75 inches higher than the bottom of the tube that goes into the car hitch
Question:	What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms
Answer:	None of our racks are approved for use on a trailer mounted receiver hitch. Any trailer or trailered vehicle (including 5th wheel type) has a slight side to side motion that's very low frequency (1 to 1-1/2 times per second) that fatigues the steel from which the racks are manufactured. The fatigue first happens at a molecular level, but eventually (several thousands of cycles later) a visible crack will appear. Once the crack has formed, it will enlarge, finally to the point where the rack drops off the vehicle and the rack (and bikes) impact the roadway. This is also a dangerous situation for whoever may be following the trailer on the highway. We have seen 100+ incidents where the consumers/end user has not taken this advice and suffered disastrous results. I've even had phone calls from consumers who said they read that advice (do not use on a trailer) and ignored it, only to discover a tragic end result. So . . . don't do it. If you insist on doing it regardless of the above, please use some other companies’ rack.

User questions & answers

Question:	So this is a weird question, but I'd like to take my bicycle with me on my commute. Can I lock my bicycle to the bike rack using a typical bike lock
Answer:	Some people are suggesting locking the bike to the car with a cable. It should be noted that ANY cable, even the thickest and most secure ones on the market, can be cut in seconds. A cable of any type is, at best, a deterrent to the casual thief. A serious thief loves cables because they are so easily cut. If you have an expensive bike, the only option worth considering is a U-bolt type of lock. Simply remove your bike from the car rack and lock it to a post. Even U-bolts can be defeated but the time and tools required will send all but the most determined thief looking for easier prey, like a bike with a cable.
Question:	I have 2000$ bike, is it worth the risk
Answer:	It was fine for my $1,500 RadRover. It's good up to 70 pounds. What does your bike weigh?
Question:	How well does this work on a 2010 honda crv
Answer:	allensportsusa.com/fit-listgo to the allen sports fit list and check to see what is recommended for 2010 honda crv. If it is on the list and instructions are followed when installing, there shouldn't be any problems.
Question:	Hi guys is it good for volvo suv xc90? does it easy for woman to put the bikes up herself
Answer:	This rack (or any strap mounted carrier) should not be used on the Volvo XC models. The issue is that the top of the rear door on the XC's is made of extremely brittle fiberglass that can crack if anything (i.e. metal hooks or bike rack straps) is placed in the seem at the top of the rear door. We would recommend installing a receiver hitch on your vehicle and using a hitch mounted carrier.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the hold women’s bike without middle bar
Answer:	It's listed as 27.25 oz's
Question:	is there a protective cover that works well with this style rack (2 bikes
Answer:	It's not really a straightforward answer. The correct length depends on a couple of things: Sit Inside or Sit On top Kayak. Is your paddling style going to be shallow or deeper? I recall when I first started paddling I Googled for the information for which length would be correct for me. That would be my recommendation. Try https://www.bendingbranches.com/sizing/kayak-paddle or https://paddling.com/learn/kayak-paddle-length-how-to-pick-the-right-size/
Question:	Can rack be locked to vehicle
Answer:	I have the trophy charcoal color, so can't really answer your question for sure. But, I'm pretty sure that no matter which color you choose, both blades of the paddle will match each other. You won't get one blade that is citrus and the other blade blue with a white star. They will both be the same. Also, don't expect the blades to be brightly colored on both sides. The blades are semi-transparent, so on front they are nice and colorful, but on he back side, they are more muted with the colors from the front showing through to the back. They are really nice paddle and once you try them on the water, you'll be glad you bought them.
Question:	Does this fit Honda Odyssey van
Answer:	It is 4mm.

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.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on a Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire

Question:	How do you put the bike on
Answer:	The thermometer is approx 6 inches diameter x 1.25 inches deep. The bracket is approx 6.5 inches tall where it mounts to the wall. Hope this helps.
Question:	WIll this clear the rear tire on a Wrangler
Answer:	Don't know where it was made but it was never accurate and I tossed it in a few weeks. Get the CDN ones, always work and cheaper.
Question:	will I be able to put toddler bikes on this rack
Answer:	While the 3210-08-1-E is not specifically intended to be used as an oven thermometer, there is no reason that if could not be used in this manner. The biggest issue I can see is that it may be difficult to read the thermometer while in the oven. Most of our oven thermometers are designed so the display is visible at a glance through the window or by opening the door.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where was it made
Answer:	That depends on if your BMW X3 has a standard 2” receiver. As I recall from the short time I owned one of these, I think it came with an adapter for 1” up to 2”. But to be honest, the straps that held the bike into place sucked so badly that I only used it twice. I can’t recall if I threw mine out or if it is gathering rust somewhere, if I could find mine, you could have it for free! I ended up buying Swagman Hitch that holds two bikes and offers three points of contact. Please note, I am not selling anything, just telling you what I bought and mounted to my Chrysler 300. This hitch was terrible, at least for me.
Question:	One of the straps on my rack got torn. What do I need to buy to replace it
Answer:	I’m not sure. But I will say, this rack is junk. I used mine twice, hated it, almost lost my bikes off of it, and the rack quickly found it’s way to the trash. I ended up buying a Swagman rack that has three points of contact on the bike, each tire is cradled and strapped in, and a padded locking hook is placed over the center of the bike. That rack I believe would lean forward enough for your 98 Suburban.
Question:	Is there a hitch lock that works with this bike rack? I do not want to drill out the holes to enlarge them
Answer:	No, with the straps you can secure it even more. Just make sure the screws are on tight and from time to time tighten them again. Good luck
Question:	How long is the stem that holds the bikes (i.e. the one where the straps are) on a 4 bike rack carrier
Answer:	no, sorry, only the bike rack
