versatile bike rack

By Johanna VonKuster Ranked #889 - Car Racks November 2, 2009

i bought this style of rack because i find it a pain to remove the front wheel and then have to find somewhere to store it inside. this rack allows for you to quickly adjust for different sized wheels so it should work for just about anything you have. they are strong too. we drove down to burning man with two of these holding our very heavy cruisers fully outfitted with baskets, and pannier racks. they were rock steady during the entire drive and stood up to the wind gusts with no problem. the only thing that this rack does not seem to accommodate is a front fender. my only real complaint is that i wish the lock cable was a couple inches longer because i really have to work to get it to reach and lock around the rack bar when i'm not transporting a bike. also, the lock and cable seems slightly less than beefy and i don't trust it entirely with an expensive bike. i supplement it with my own heavier duty cables and u-locks. all-in-all though, a good buy.
