Customers say
Customers find the bike rack easy to install, taking about 20 minutes to put together, and appreciate its functionality, particularly with Jeep YJ spare tires. The rack holds bikes securely with included hardware, fits well on Jeeps, and customers consider it well worth the price. While the build quality is sturdy, with one customer noting it can hold up to 70lbs, durability receives mixed reviews, with some customers reporting it holding up well while others mention it breaking on even roads.

Great Bike Rack, but be careful during installation…
Purchased this on 8-13-18. Very Nice, solidly built two bike rack holds up to 70lbs. The description is not clear; however; This bike rack (Model 302DN) is only made for the 1994-2018 Jeep Wranglers (JK), (not the 2018 JL as clearly stated), 2002-2009 Jeep Liberty’s and 1997-2006 Honda CRV’s which is on the back of the retail packaging. The Rack is very well built and easy assembly (using only a 7/16 driver, socket or wrench). It is highly recommend that you take your time inserting the set-up pins. They will scratch the powder coat badly (as seen in one of my pics) AND they can pinch your fingers. I recommend hold the rack against your chest firmly to insert. I did the other side this way and not scratch. It’s a great rack for the price!! Very well built and will works well. I will probably use some bungy cords and a lashing strap just to be safe, which I have done before in the past. Overkill is better than dropping your expensive bikes at 60mph. I hope this review is helpful for future buyers.

Near Perfect
Works great but I had to make a few of adaptations. First, the clips for the lower straps that are supposed to secure the rack to your bumper, frame, or lower part of your door, are too small and the angle of the clip didn’t work well to secure the straps on my Rav4. The straps weren’t long enough to reach anything but plastic at the lower rear so I tried the bottom of the rear door. It worked but didn’t look secure. Instead, I replaced the clips with Shoreline hood/truck tie down straps. Those worked great and won’t scratch the paint. The second minor modification was to the upper crossbar. It’s metal and not protected by a rubber sleeve like the lower cross bar. The bike nearest the vehicle can make contact with the metal so it could scratch up the bike. I wrapped some paracord around it to prevent scratching. The last minor modification was also made to try to prevent contact between a bike and that crossbar. The mounting brackets for the bike closest to the vehicle can slide for and aft a little bit, allowing for more contact between the rack bars and the bike. I used two zip ties around the bar on each side to prevent those brackets from sliding closer to the rack crossbar. Overall, I like the bike rack. It could be improved, and I wish there was an included lock of some kind (I’d hate to return to the parking lot from my ride to find the rack has been stolen), but then it would cost more. So this is a near perfect bike rack at a decent price.

Make sure itâs tight and secure before you put weight on it.
Twenty minutes to put together and mount on spare. I hide the extra strap in the back and tied to the top of the mount. If you run the strap through the rim youâll have plenty of slack. Itâs secure and looks good.

Worst Bike Rack Ever!!
I purchased this bike rack on Amazon on Feb. 2nd and used the bike rack to take two bikes on a trip to Florida that extended from Feb. 6th – Mar. 8th. On my return home, the bike rack slipped off my spare tire on two separate occasions. The first time, it bent the tire rim of one of my bikes as it touched the ground and damaged the tire…luckily, I was driving through a small town at 25MPH at the time and avoided further damage. I used ratchet straps to provide additional security and support to this rack around the tire for the remainder of the trip and had a major issue 6 hours later going down the highway. The rack slipped again (the metal bars that support the bike rack in the upright position located on both sides) popped out of the holes causing the bikes to drop to the ground again and before I could pull to side of the road, the tires of both bikes were completely flat from dragging on the road along with additional structural damage to the bikes that probably can’t be repaired (TBD – waiting on results from bike shop). The bikes are hybrid bikes and fortunately only cost me $350 each and weren’t expensive road bikes that I also own. Furthermore, the highway (shoulder) was narrow and we were in a high risk situation trying to remove bike rack and store damaged bikes in vehicle with car pulled over on the shoulder. Fortunately, there were no accidents during this time but this created a lot of stress during this situation for both my wife and me. I was going to return this bike rack to Amazon for obvious reasons, however Amazon doesn’t allow returns past 30 days for this item even though my roundtrip was more than 30 days while using this bike rack. I tried to plead my case with Allen to return this rack but they requested a lengthy process that involved reinstalling this poorly designed bike rack and bikes that are already at the shop. FYI – I have never written a bad review before until now. Buyer Beware!!

Good little bike rack
This rack was simple to put together and install. It fit right over the spare tire and latched under the door easily. The bikes mounted easily, it took me a try it two to get them on right. I was nervous about it on the 200 mile drive, constantly looking. I just knew the bikes were gonna fly off. They didn’t, and I didn’t hardly looked at them on the way home. They were safe and sound. And it’s a reasonable price to boot. I would recommend this.

It says in the instructions to not mount on an RV spare!?
This looked to be exactly what I needed but a couple issues. Upon assembly the instructions say don’t mount on an RV spare tire. I doesn’t say this anywhere on the Amazon page and it doesn’t say why you cannot mount on an RV spare tire.. There really is no difference between an RV spare and car/SUV spare so I proceed with caution. 2nd issue is my bike is a little heavier on the rear than the front and the rack wants to slip to the right side and possible come off the spare tire. I will have to secure further with rope to keep the bike from slipping to the left or right. Not ideal but seems like it should work.

Si estás buscando un portabicis para dos bicicletas, sencillo, barato y fácil de montar, debes saber que este modelo también se adapta muy bien al Jeep Cherokee. Para adaptarlo mejor, le he cortado 6,5 cm a los dos extremos de los tubos que se abren doblados hacia el exterior (quitando antes los tapones de plástico para volver a colocarlos después) para que descansen perfectamente sobre el escalón que hay debajo de la matrÃcula, en el cubrerueda. De esta manera, el peso de las bicis descansa perfectamente sobre la rueda de repuesto, que va firmemente fijada al portón trasero. Y, como han hecho otros usuarios, después fijo la estructura a la rueda con una correa de trinquete. De esta manera, el portabicis queda perfectamente sujeto a la rueda de repuesto y no se mueve nada. Buena compra, útil, práctica y económica.

Der Fahrrad Träger für das Ersatzrad am Heck meines Fahrzeuges sitzt entgegen meiner Erwartungen total fest. Ich muss aber ergänzen, dass ich, um ganz sicher zu sein, dass der Träger nicht verrutscht, noch einen zusätzlichen Spanngurt um das Ersatzrad befestigt habe. AuÃerdem habe ich Glück, dass ich die beiden unteren Spanngurte durch die Ersatzrad Felge ziehen konnte, sodass zum Ãffnen der Heckklappe der Träger nicht einmal z. Teil demontiert werden muss. Fazit: Für mich ein Top Fahrrad Träger für den schmalen Geldbeutel.

Stable and strong enough to carry two bikes

The rack is far more sturdy and better made than the photo suggests. Tubular frame feels very strong, straps are slightly springy making for a very snug fit to the car door. Easy to assemble in a couple of minutes and mounting is very straightforward however, two caveats: First, the tubular ‘hooks’ over the top of the tyre catch on the rear wiper on a Land Rover Defender. To get the perfect fit, you need to remove the wiper blade. Second, mounting a bike this way on a Defender partially obscures the number plate on the car. In order to leave it completely clear, you must remove the front wheel which rather defeats to object of a ‘sling it on’ rack. Dubai police may not like it…
