Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25-Inch Receiver) Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's a nice strong unit, albeit a little more akward to use than some carriers. The thing that disappointed me most, though, was the need to use a tie-back strap at the top of the carrier.
If you look carefully at the first picture, you can see a thin line going from top of the carrier back to the car. The instructions say to "Hook metal hook at the end of the top strap to a solid metal edge at the top edge of rear door/trunk."
This seems to provide a strong opportunity for scratching the car, since the painted surface of the car is now being used as a structural element by attaching a "hook" to the edge of the trunk.
Otherwise, it seems ok.

This Deluxe Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier by Allen holds four bikes and is ideal for weekend biking trips with friends and family outings. A tie-down system securely holds and protects each bicycle while 28-inch carry arms drop out of the way when not in use. Appropriate for 1-1/4-inch hitches, this carrier includes a strap which eliminates lower bike movement. Minor assembly and simple set up of the carrier is required.
About Allen Bike Racks In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family’s bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens’ tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick’s son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It was really easy to put together and use. It was well packed - it emerged unscathed from a very scathed box. The steel seems thin until you relaize that it is just carrying bikes, not a trailor. It is strong enough and doesn't weigh a ton.
However... It comes in three main pieces that you bolt together. The resulting rack does exactly what it is supposed to. And it is solid. That's almost enough. The problem is that a thief must remove, at most, two bolts to steal your bikes. I used some Locktite on the bolts and cured that little failing. Now the bolts can't come out and the rack is about perfect.

Allen Deluxe Swing Away 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 740RR (MSRP: $400) is a swing-away hitch-mount bike carrier that permits access to the rear of a vehicle without first dismounting the rack or its load of bikes, a convenience that you'll wonder how you ever got along without. The 740RR folding design is unique from other competing swing-away bike carriers, admittedly very cool to see in action though it provides no obvious advantages. An animated video of the 740RR movement is available on the manufacturer's website.
However, the 740RR seems to suffer from a few design flaws that quickly become apparent during typical use, raise concerns about the product's safety, and may eventually render the rack unusable. My observations after using the 740RR:
1) Unnecessarily complicated swing-arm.
The 740RR folding swing-arm requires more component hardware and pivot points than competing single-hinge swing-away carriers. More pivot points mean over a half-dozen lubrication spots, more mechanical points of failure, and several exposed and potentially serious pinch hazards.
2) Swing-arm flex.
The 740RR swing-arm flexes considerably when it is swung out from the vehicle under a full load of bikes. The flex can cause permanent misalignment of the locking mechanisms that hold the rack safely closed. When this happens, the 740RR is unusable.
3) Poorly designed locking and safety mechanism.
The locking mechanism is the most significant problem with the rack. The 740RR clicks closed by use of a spring-pin. However, this pin does not secure the carrier to the vehicle. Instead, the owner must subsequently hand-tighten an ordinary threaded bolt before the rack is safe for transport. Forget to tighten that bolt and the carrier will swing away from the rear of the vehicle at the first bump regardless if the rack is empty or carrying bikes, an unnerving thing to experience.
Note that securing the rack with a threaded bolt appears to be a typical safety feature of most swing-away bike carriers. However, the 740RR's implementation seems poorly applied:
- The long threaded bolt must be tightened from the front of the swing-arm, access to which is difficult and awkward when the rack is loaded with bicycles;
- The bolt threads become stripped under normal use and eventually can no longer be tightened, making the rack unusable;
- Neither the spring-pin or the bolt will engage if the swing-arm is misaligned, again rendering the rack unusable.
4) Significant weight.
The 740RR is heavy and cumbersome to attach/remove from the receiver hitch, and awkward and bulky to move when detached. The carrier does not stand up on its own when not mounted. As an alternative to hefting the thing up onto wall hooks, the manufacturer sells a stand which allows upright storage of the 740RR.
5) Instructions contain errors.
The 740RR design has apparently changed since the instructions were last updated. A few images do not match actual rack components, and some parts are mislabeled.
Great Warranty.
The manufacturer warrants their products as such: "If one of our products fails to function properly due to defect in materials or workmanship over the lifetime of the original purchaser, return the product and we will repair it or replace it free of charge." Indeed, to my satisfaction, the manufacturer replaced my first problematic 740RR (on which this review is based) without any hassle and free of charge including shipping. The replacement rack has lasted longer than its predecessor, but the threaded bolt again shows signs of eminent failure.
Buying a Used 740RR.
It is probably a very bad idea to purchase the 740RR used. The original owner may be unburdening themselves of a rack afflicted with one of the many inherent problems I mentioned above. Also, you would loose the protection of the manufacturer's warranty.

Schwinn 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The set-up was easy and the bikes were easy enough to load, but when used in a 2-in. hitch it wobbles like crazy! I was a nervous wreck just driving across town watching our bikes sway 45 degrees on every right turn. I had a neighbor who knows alot about bike racks look at it and he said it was assembled right, but it's just not that tight in a 2 inch hitch.

Charlevoix Nylon Flag Clips Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I, like most other boaters have struggled to find a solution to the problem of flying a flag off my boat. Most of the other products don't do the job, allowing the flag to ride up or come off at low speeds. Others require cutting the product apart and ruining it, if you ever want to change the flag. I was lost in a sea of useless boating accessories until I found Charveloix Clips. They are simply the BEST!!! They are extremely easy to put on and allow the user to remove them at anytime over and over agian. They're extremely durable and last for years, while being outside and unprotected. This product is bar-none the best buy for your flag flying needs...I would strongly recomend buying a pair or two....It truly is worth it!!!!!!

Heavy Duty 4 Bicycle Bike 2" Hitch Rack SUV Car Truck Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this unit mostly to make only about a 20 mile trek to our favorite riding area. The unit itself is sturdy enough but has several flaws. The most glaring is that the bike mounts seem to me to be about 2-4" closer together than I think would be optimal. This results in a jigsaw puzzle when loading 4 bikes on the unit (if you can do it with your bikes at all). It took me about 20-30 minutes to load it up with 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes the first time. During the trip, the bikes were held steady (make sure to use the yellow nylon strap and not rely on the velcro straps to hold your bikes!)but when we arrived I had a heck of a time getting 2 of the bikes off. the pedals/cranks had gotten crossed up and I had to remove both bikes at once to get them off the rack. Then I had to figure out how to get the cranks unstuck. It was a pain and would likely not have happened had there been additional space between the bikes. I ended up throwing one of the kids bikes INTO the SUV for the trip back.
Also, in hindsight, I wish I had sprung for a few extra bucks for the more expensive "pivot away" type units that would allow me to open up the SUV hatch when necessary without removing the unit from the hitch.
A good basic carrier, but stick with 2 bikes and dont bother trying 4.

Swagman XP Fold Down 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Swagman's claim on this rack is that it:
"provides the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate a variety of bike frame designs"
So I figured I'd spend a little extra $ on the rack and avoid buying a bunch of crossbars. Unfortunately, the rotating cradles are so big that quite a few bikes (including my GT XCR) start having trouble fitting into them without quite a bit of twisting and pushing, on top of that pretty much render crossbars useless.
It is a good rack but I'd recommend getting the non-rotating cradles if you really want more flexibility in the bikes it can accommodate.

Bell Two-Bike Hitch Rack Review

---

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is as advertised. The unit itself is well built. The rubber pads that the bike sits on will easily slide back and forth on the bars. I'm thinking of hose clamps on the bar to act as stops. On my 1-1/4" hitch the unit is just a little bit smaller and will pivot 5 to 10 degrees (parallel to the back of the car) even with the hitch pin inserted. Not a big deal as during normal driving (even at 70 mph)it doesn't rock back and forth unless you're going over bumps. The threaded hitch pin is milled at the end to accept a hitch lock, but doesn't come with one. you're on you own for the lock. I bought mine for $70 at wal-mart and thought it was an OK deal

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried a friend's very similar to this. Also bought a different type that uses the rubber straps for securing. I prefer these plates that screw down. Also, my friend's bolts are shorter, so with bikes with fat bars, you had to use an adapter. Still have to use adapter for one 24" bike, but the 26" bike has enough clearance between bars to slide the bottom plate through. Just wish it would swing down for easier access to liftgate.
