"Well mad & nice looking. Would like some method to lock to car to remove temptation. There should be a spring (coil, leaf or larger rubber gromet) inside the lower vertical bar that would cause the spring latch on the upper vertical bar to be under horizontal tension when closed."

"For the cost, the Allen bike rack is a great value. I did extensive internet research and this rack had features and benefits equal to or greater than other name brand racks. The only issue that I had, whick others talked about, was the hitch pin and screw pin supplied did not fit my hitch. It was no big deal. I just bored out the receiver hole."

"This product is awesome. The price was unbeatable, the installation and assembly was easy. It holds 5 bikes with no problem, and doesn't allow the bikes to touch the vehicle. The way that it folds back to allow for entrance into the back of the vehicle is a really nice feature. Overall, this is an excellent product, and wish I would have bought one sooner. Scott"

"After receiving the box (which was damaged), the rack was in good shape wrapped in plastic. It did not took long before I had the rack assembled. Mounting to the truck hitch was no different than any other attachment. I did not experience misfit like some of the other reviews I had read. Maybe Allen has made the changes after reading the reviews. I would recommend this to others."

Don't Drill out the hitch hole

"When installing the rack your trailer pin will not fit. DO NOT DRILL IT OUT. I did as other reviewers had said was necessary. Then I realized the rack wobbles. The smaller hole is meant for a special anti-wobble bolt. I then drilled new smaller hole for the special bolt and it was very solid. It is very solidly made of all heavy duty steel and subsequently rather heavy. This not an issue other than when it is off the car it is a bit cumbersome to put away as it also does not fold completely flat. For a couple hundred dollars less than the big names this is a great very sturdy rack that folds clear of the back hatch very easily and seems more than strong enough for five bikes."

WE THE USA HAVE EXCELLENT MILLS AND WORKERS THAT CAN MAKE THE SAME RACK OF BETTER QUALITY. 4. It in nearly impossible to put the third bike in the middle position."

"Pros: Easy installation, carrying arms fold down when you are not carrying any bikes (nice), made of sturdy steel, and doesn’t wobble from the base. Cons: Carry arms could have been sturdier. It is impossible to fit 3 road bicycles on the 16" arms. You can fit 2 bikes if you load the 2 bicycles in the 1st and 3rd position on the bike arms. It is a real shame, because otherwise it is constructed very well. But what's the point of buying a 3 bike carrier when it can only hold 2 bikes."

"This review is written after "testing" this product in a 1,400 miles travel. We stop in different places and ride in the bikes around, and the carrier was a great help in these last two weeks. I had to increase the size of the hole to lock the carrier to the receiver so I can use the pin that comes with the receiver as others also did it -read their reviews- but I won't consider it a problem but an adjusment. The carrier shakes a little due the uneven surfaces of the route, but this situation has its good side: the cars behind don't want to get close to you because they think that the bike carrier will fall off. This bike carrier, however, is very secure and practical. I will recommend it for the reasons above and for its affordable price."

Best Rack I've Found .. Glad I Waited

"This bike rack is exactly what I was looking for. Fits my hitch, holds 3 bikes, folds easily out of the way to open the hatch back. Stylish and functional. My only complaint is that the 3/8 inch through hole and matching bolt was smaller than the 1/2 inch hole in my hitch. So I had to buy a 1/2 inch drill bit and drilled another hole through the bike rack and then slid a 1/2 inch locking bolt through the whole deal for a nice, snug, secure attachment."
