I haven't seen any reviews for this rack, so I thought I would write one and spare you all the hassle of owning it and going through what I went through...Let me start off by saying that this is a really cool design, and it would def be a nice rack IF it worked as shown in the video, BUT it doesn't!! Every time the temp would get above the 80s my rack would NOT "slide" on and off the base. In fact, it was very hard to get on and off... and was often stuck for an extended period of time and I could not get into my trunk! Talk about a PAIN!! I actually had the company I ordered it from send out a new receiver part thinking mine was defective... It worked fine for about a week UNTIL the temp went up again. I'm not a scientist, but I'm guessing the plastic expands in the heat??? If you buy this rack and you live anywhere that experiences a humid summer season be prepared to 'fight' with it to get it on and off. I'm talking full body weight leaning on it... Read more  Saris T-bone Hitch Mount, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Saris T-bones 3 Bike Universal Hitch (Sports) I have only used this once so far. It is a pretty well built piece and very easy to use. The arms are adjustable for different size bikes, up and down and side to side. One of the features I really like is the base that comes with the kit. This allows you to use the bike rack as a work stand for minor repairs or quick adjustments. Use can also use it as a storage stand, if you have the room for it. The rack folds down to a very compact size for storage. The only thing I didn't like about the rack was the receiver piece the rack itself locks on to. To clarify, this is not the receiver that attaches to the car. The rack slides on top of two pieces of plastic that are bolted together and attached to the receiver. These pieces do not fit together well and makes putting on and taking the rack off very difficult. Once attached you do not have to worry about it coming off accidentally. Another great point is the lockable cable that stores inside the rack. It won't stop a thief with big bolt...

It does both jobs excellently. You are getting two products for the price of one. I highly recommend it. It is sticky sliding the rack on and off the hitch side receiver but if you wiggle with constant up/down pressure, anyone can do it. Maybe a little W-D40 will help also. |
