 Bell could do it better.. July 16, 2008
Pros:
1) Best price in the market.
2) Metal construction is very good.
3) the reflectors are a nice touch.
Cons:
1) Lacks side straps/clips. Only upper/lower straps are provided. Definitely good for local trip with in 10 to 25 miles. Don't think it's good for longer trips. I've used it once on a 80 miles trip. It held up fine. But I would prefer to have side straps to be confident to drive at higher speeds. I was little concerned and had to watch the bike and my speed.
2) the straps loop through plastic buckles. Though the design is better with saw tooth, it could have been better if they were metal buckles.
3) to hold the bike to the rack, Velcro straps are provided. For smaller diameter frame tubes the Velcro doesn't stick well. The thickness of the tube has to be really big to get the Velcro stick well. It could have been designed little better to accommodate different frame thickness either with a different kind of tightening system or buttons.
 Bad Design July 2, 2008
Someone gave me this rack. It did not fit their SUV and they figured I could use it for my road bike, a vintage Cinelli. I strapped it to my Toyota Camry and put my bike on it. Not only did the straps immediately loosen, but the bike flopped around on the rack with the pedals crashing into the trunk. The plastic strap piece that is supposed to secure the top tube of the bike to the rack easily comes loose. The overall design of the rack is very poor. I realize this is a very economically priced bike rack, but it is not worth the risk of having your bike fly off on the highway. I'd suggest going to a good bike shop and buying their entry level Yakima or Thule rack. For a few more bucks it would be well worth it.

Everything was OK with the product but the delivery required a signature in person. I am unsure why this was necessary. In this day and age there is no one that is not working so that means there is no one home when the delivery was made. Fortunately the UPS guy just took my signature on the delivery slip.
Good product June 22, 2008
This is a good product. It is very easy to put on and take off the trunk and it seems to hold the bikes well. I don't know how it would do on long trips, but works perfect for short trips.
Bike Rack June 18, 2008
This bike rack easily holds two bikes. It is really easy to use. I have an SUV and it hooks up in seconds. The only slight nuisance is that when you fasten the straps, since they pass through a rubberized hook, it catches a bit. Minor inconvenience for a great product.
