Overall it is a good bike rack for the money. I would recommend a little more research before purchasing. I bought the rack knowing I was also buying a bike so I could transport it home. The rubber straps that are to hold the bike in place on the arms are too short to cover my bikes frame so I had to improvise with bungee cords. I am trying to locate longer replacement straps but so far have had no luck. Other than that, it was easy to install and held up well transporting my bike 1.5 hours home from where I purchased it.
moves all over!
I have attached this to my SUV several times for 1-3 hour trips with the same result- it moves all over! I have tried several methods of tightening the straps and double tying them, but it still drops down and will not stay secure! While no damage was done except a small chip on my hatch, I would not recommend it.
