Could anyone here give me an opinion on a good quality bike rack? I would
like a 2" receiver hitch bike rack to hold 4 bikes. Thanks, Dennis |

Sportworks. No wheel removal, fast and easy.

I use Yakima. The one I have is set up for two bikes, but they make one for
four bikes. It drops down after a pin release to allow entry to the back of the vehicle. I've taken a look at the bigger ones (i.e. for more bikes) but can't figure out how you can get that many bikes one without having them clank/rub together during transport. With the 2-bike Yakima, there is a lower bar with straps that hook to the wheels to prevent the bikes from swinging into each other. I mention this because when I first got the rack and didn't have the lower bar attachment, had a fork leg and chainstay that rubbed down to bare metal when transporting old bikes to a trailhead. Mucho bummer. Gary "Dennis Cox" wrote in message ... Could anyone here give me an opinion on a good quality bike rack? I would like a 2" receiver hitch bike rack to hold 4 bikes. Thanks, Dennis |

depends on the vehicle, but definately can be done. If you're mechanically
inclined at all, you could check jc whitney online or quadratec or even ebay. Most of them bolt on. If you'd rather have someone else do it, then give your local uhaul place a call. They used to install them. " wrote in message ... Could anyone here give me an opinion on a good quality bike rack? I would like a 2" receiver hitch bike rack to hold 4 bikes.

Thank a lot Dennis, my car is an Opel Astra GTC and the problem is that here in Italy (where I am) only a few people know what a 2" receiver is it, so I'll have to order somewhere and mount it myself if possible. About your question I can say you I've read talking very good about Yakima! |
