 Excellent functional to value ratio August 28, 2008
The rack arrived and I installed onto my 2x2 receiver hitch. I followed instructions and the rack is very tight and shows none of the sway that others have commented about. It did take some creativity to mount a full suspension bike, but I expected that complication before I ordered the rack. This rack was half the price of other racks and has all the functionality needed to carry my bikes in complete safety.
 Solid and affordable August 4, 2008
When mounted per instructions, this thing is solid and will hold over 100 lbs. It does not move, and seems well made. It fits 1.25" x 1.25" or 2"x2" mounts per the instructions, and bolted up to my SUV in a few minutes.
Most of those complaining about loose fits seem to think they have a 4"x4" receiver (no such thing is made) so take these comments with a grain of salt.
Great!! July 17, 2008
This is a wonderful product. I can put two child and two adult bikes on here without a problem. The bolt is very easy, however you do have to do more then just slide the bolt in the hitch. In order to secure the rack you have to tighten the bolt with a wrench. The reviews that comment on how loose it is did not tighten the bolt. Once you do that (follow the instructions) it is tight and secure. After years of use one of the velcro straps snapped free from the red connecter. However, when I called the company they replaced the set free of charge. Definately reccommend!!
 Sway March 27, 2008
There is way too much play where the rack fits into the receiver. I used the threaded pin and had others check to see if it was done properly. This thing is not usable.
A great Value! March 19, 2008

I have been carrying two new very nice "bike shop" 26" Comfort bicycles since Christmas 2007, and two little kids bikes with my Bell HitchBiker. It takes some creative positioning to mount the kids bikes.
It is rock solid! It's mounted in my SUV's 2"x2" receiver.
If you properly use the included tapered hitch pin, it becomes one with the hitch. No rattling, no play, no side to side movement. Other reviewers must have used their own standard hitch pin.
I normally use additional bungie cords with ANY brand of bike rack. So while the velcro/rubber design is weak compared to the BIG name brands, it's not an overall issue.
