If you're an avid cyclist, then you know how important it is to have a good bike rack. Hitch bike racks are a great option for those who want a reliable way to transport their bikes. They're easy to install and offer a secure way to keep your bikes in place while you're on the go. Hitch bike racks come in a variety of styles and sizes, so you can find one that fits your needs. They're also relatively inexpensive, making them a great option for budget-minded cyclists. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable way to
Trunk-mounted bike racks are a great option for those who want to transport their bikes without having to put them inside their vehicle. These racks typically attach to the vehicle's trunk with straps and have a platform on which the bike can be mounted. Trunk-mounted bike racks are generally very easy to use and can be installed or removed in just a few minutes. There are a few things to keep in mind when using a trunk-mounted bike rack, however. First, make sure that the rack is securely attached to the vehicle before loading the bike. Second, be sure
Yes, you can use a trunk mount bike rack on an SUV. There are a few things to keep in mind, though. First, make sure that the rack is compatible with the make and model of your SUV. Second, keep in mind that the rack will add some length to your vehicle, so be sure to account for that when parking or driving in tight spaces. Finally, be sure to follow the instructions for proper installation and use.
While bike hooks are a great way to store your bike, they can damage your wheels if not used properly. Make sure to use soft hooks that won't scratch your wheels, and be careful not to put too much pressure on the hooks when hanging your bike.

No nonsense or frills.I bought this for my 2019 Trek Stache 7 to carry my innertube. That tube is not little; it is a 29 . If you appropriately pack and re-roll the tube, it can hold a multi-tool and tire levers in addition to the tube. After the strap has wrapped around your bike frame, there is an inside loop (velcor) to hold the tube and any other items you may have.The primary strap has a rubberized side to prevent it from sliding up and down my top tube, which is all that I'm using it for right now. I have a little pack that rests in a bottle cage that I'll review later. I've used it several times on some singletrack in the woods without experiencing any problems.If you're thinking about traveling without a pack, I advise doing this.

After utilizing this rack for almost a year, I decided it was time to give it a review.This is what I love:I mostly purchased this rack to get food home. Roll-top Ortlieb panniers can store around 40 pounds when fully loaded (with what I buy, anyway). The 55lbs weight capacity of this rack—the maximum weight capacity I could find in this price range—leaves plenty of room for more groceries or strapping something to the rack's top. It is sturdy. Despite carrying groceries for a year, it has not bowed or creaked. It certainly appears like it would endure. The coating hasn't come off in spite of clipping bags on and off (and presumably getting struck by the rare pebble) or even sitting partially shielded in the rain. It is adjustable due to the arms. There isn't much room on the frame of my mountain bike because of its compact size. I was able to level the rack by adjusting the front arms. (The hub arms can also be changed.) There are numerous places to attach a cargo net or bungee cords, despite some reviews mentioning the need to bend the arms. I used a 2x2 cargo net, similar to Powertye 50153 Blue 15"X15" Cargo Net with 6 Adjustable Hooks

UPDATE:The Blitzu Gator 390 set of lights, which also includes the rear light, that I ordered arrived. The lights function properly, and it was a fantastic value. But more crucially, this rack's back can accommodate the rear light. The rear light in that pair uses the same quick-release mount as the front light, contrary to my incorrect assumption that it would. It turns out, though, that the rubber band fits perfectly when it is wrapped around the back tab. Although it doesn't look as good as a professionally fastened bracket of some sort since I'm concerned the rubber will ultimately wear out, it currently fits nicely. Therefore, I heartily recommend the Blitzu Gator 390 if you wish to use this rack and need lights for your bike. For the fit, refer to the photos in the attachment.ORIGINAL:What a fantastic deal on a high-quality rack. Despite the fact that there are some less expensive, more generic alternatives, they all seem to offer less support for higher loads. Of course, with this option, you also get the PakRak system, if that's something you're interested in. There are certain drawbacks to both this rack and the PakRak trunk bag I purchased. Due to some of those shortcomings, I awarded the trunk bag a rating of 4/5. It's difficult to find a generic touring-grade rear rack of equivalent quality at a lower price, therefore I don't think I'll deduct points for the rack. Therefore, this is a terrific value even if you never utilize the PakRak system. Having PakRak is merely the cherry on top, and the bags are where you spend the most of the extra money.I was particularly concerned about size. I own a 2017 Giant Escape 1, frame size small, and I've read and heard numerous times that smaller frames require the arms on rear racks to extend further because the seat stay eyelets are comparatively lower. The length of the arms on my bike is ideal. They are nearly fully stretched, but with just enough more to ensure that there is no chance that they could escape. Both the bag and the rack are not leaning forward or backward, contrary to what I had thought would happen. In conclusion, despite having a petite frame, I had absolutely no sizing concerns. That's not to suggest that other bikes won't experience sizing problems, but if the geometry of your bike is comparable to that of the Giant Escape 1, a fairly normal city bike, you shouldn't see any troubles.Since my bike lacks integrated mudguards, I wish this rack had a solid part like the Topeak MTX system. It's a wonderful plus that the Topeak racks function like a rear mud guard, while the Ibera PakRak racks do not. Instead, a hard shell makes up the bottom of the bag, which means that while it will keep your back dry and clean, it will also transport dirt indoors. Although the PakRak system is currently a far better deal, it's still important to keep in mind that it's not the end of the world.I find the rear tab, where a reflector or light would be mounted, to be a little cumbersome. Ibera does sell certain lights that naturally fit onto the rack, and it appears that some reflectors may install without additional hardware. However, the options are limited, and I was looking for a particular kind of rear light that uses a quick-release installation rather than a conventional clip. The rear light needed to be USB rechargeable as well. Such lights are not offered by Ibera, thus it appears I will have to create something on my own using hardware shop components. Since there doesn't appear to be a standard across the different racks I was examining, I'm not sure why rack marketers promote this as a significant feature. Since lights intended to mount on seat posts (which look to be the majority) appear to be the majority, the most typical thing they could have done was to include a tiny bit of post in the back to allow for easy installation. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that any racks have such a post built in.Overall, this rack offers excellent value for the money, and its minor drawbacks are more due to the PakRak system and the rear tab's design than the rack's construction. This is without a doubt among the greatest rear racks on the market right now. It has a good load capacity and space for both side panniers and a top trunk bag to be mounted.

I recently purchased a second Ibera PakRak Touring Carrier Plus because I had been using the first one for my primary/daily ride for over a year and I needed a second rack for the backup bike I was preparing primarily for travel on trips where I didn't want to worry about my primary bike being lost or stolen. Although it may not be the greatest option for everyone, this is unquestionably one of the more durable, lightweight, and affordable options for packing for everything from short trips to long trips. The biggest issue with this rack is that not all pannier brands will fit without additional modifications, making it difficult for people who want to pack other brands.To use my favorite Rackbook Pro case and Axiom panniers (with Rixen and Kaul Flip Lock attachments), I have added a few small "P" clamps. I fasten these with the same bolts that secure the bottom extension posts, and then I attach 1-inch key rings. I can link the lower pannier hooks to the key rings on each side of the rack to keep everything tight and stable when riding. It would have been nice for Ibera to include attachment sites for those using other pannier solutions, especially for those like me who don't want to spend more money on panniers but aren't particularly enamored with the Ibera quick-release system (I prefer to make my panniers a little harder for people to remove (steal), since I most frequently ride carrying an expensive notebook with me). I'm sure these racks are great as is for Ibera panniers.The fact that this rack mounts back far enough to protect my wheels from being hit by the panniers, keep my panniers out of the way of my big feet's heels even when I'm wearing boots and using toe clips, and have a sizable, stable area with plenty of potential attachment points for carrying top loads are features that I particularly appreciate. So while I use relatively modest panniers to carry everything else on excursions, it's fantastic for hauling all my camping gear, including tent, fly, pad, pillow, and sleeping bag on top.

I've been pleased with this rack since it was installed. It is far more stable than my previous rack was (which was a seat mount only rack).The installation required some work. The seat post has a quick release, however if you screw in the side posts, that feature is kind of useless. It was simply a bunch of screws in strange places. However, it was equipped with all required tools. There are 2 sizes of screws, which you may have noticed. The larger screws that came standard with the side mounts were too big and jarred the wheel, but you can choose to replace them with the smaller screws that would be used to attach the side rods to the baggage rack.I was amazed by how little weight it adds to the ride; it's actually rather light. Additionally, I like that it has a built-in bungee cord, which is hard to see in the picture.Additionally, it includes high-quality rubber grips for connecting the side support bars to the bike frame and the seat post. My previous luggage rack was made of less expensive plastic than these.I was also relieved that the side supports don't prevent me from mounting a rear bike light on the back frame.

I've just finished attaching this carrier to my dual-suspension Next Avalon Comfort Series bike.Because it offers almost endless adaptability and can be mounted to a range of different motorcycles, this specific carrier is why I chose it. I was able to mount this by making a small adjustment to the arms that connect to the seat stays and using P-clamps that I bought from a nearby hardware store. I wish I knew how to upload photos of the finished installation so I could show how I did it. The carrier appears to be quite durable and "at home" on the bike, but I might never be able to carry as much as its 55-pound capacity suggests. After using it and evaluating its performance, I might update this review.

The fact that this rear rack managed to fit on my hybrid bike shocked me. Even though the clamp for this is a little larger than my frame, once everything is screwed on, it still manages to stay in place. Nothing was slick or weak. This rack is really well crafted and of high quality. This contraption would virtually be able to sustain a slim person if I put them on it. But I doubt my tires could support an additional 180 pounds xD.I'd say this is a very universal bike rear rack, despite the fact that the clamps did not quite fit my bike that well. It doesn't require pre-drilled holes in your frame to function like I've seen other racks do. Try this bike rack if you're not sure if your bike has the preinstalled holes. If it can maintain its position despite the fact that my rim is thinner than the clamp, it should perform admirably on a mountain bike with a thicker frame.For reference, the 4.5 cm or 45 mm circumference of my frame, on which this rack is mounted, should be noted. Installing this rack should go well if it is greater than this.

For the price, this is an extremely durable cargo rack with excellent adjustment capabilities to fit almost any bike.The top rack may be moved back and forth and fixed to changing locations along the main shaft, so I had to make a small amount of adjustment myself to make it fit (which was a pleasant surprise, for me, since if it could not be moved, the rack would not have been able to fit my bike).I only have a few minor issues with how the parts arrived in condition (the rack and bars, not the screws and washers and so forth). They appeared to be somewhat scraped, as if something heavy had struck them or dragged them against a rough surface, yet none of that interfered with the building process. Nothing more than a few slight aesthetic imperfections. The two W-shaped side guards were also a little too far apart for the required screw holes to line up, but a little bit of pressure from the inside forced them into the precise positions I needed them to be in.The seat clip on the rack has a quick-release system, which is another personal and not necessarily bad issue I have with it. It would have been nice if it had some other more "permanent" securing option since I personally do not want to use quick-release anything on my bike. The rest of its construction is firmly fastened to the rack and bike frame by screws, so this is ultimately not a negative thing. I can probably find a screw of the right size to use in its stead.It also appears to be a very frail and thin bungee cord, and I was unable to figure out how to attach it to the bike. To me, though, this is unimportant because I want to use a pannier bag with this rack. If bungee cords are genuinely required for whatever reason, I can simply buy smaller, thicker-hooked ones to utilize for a stronger hold against the body.This rack cost little over double as much as a $15 Walmart rack that could only support 20 pounds, so it was absolutely worthwhile to buy at that price and with a little more than five times the carrying capacity.

In order to preserve the geometry of the suspension fork, I replaced the factory front fork on my MTB, a Giant Yukon, with an IRD 29er solid. I flipped this rack and managed to install it in 2010, and it has served me well ever since. The merits of this rack, in my opinion, lie in its simplicity and wide range of mounting options. In a unique mounting scenario, it is also a reasonably priced rack that you may alter if necessary. Yes, it is made of steel and weights more than aluminum, but it is also sturdy. Everything is fastened together with locking nuts, which, in my experience, have never even the slightest tendency to squeak. I did need to use a spacer because I have a disc brake and needed a longer screw, and the fact that I was using fenders and a 29er fork meant that I had to utilize the reflector mount made things even more difficult. I had originally intended to replace this at some point with a Jandd front rack, which would have cost over $90. However, I am still using this rack and have never felt the need to switch.You won't find a bike rack at a better price, and as long as you can get it mounted, it will be a reliable general-purpose rack. I have what I consider to be a very fine trail road bike that was converted from an MTB, and this is still my front rack. I have changed and personalized the fork, handlebars, rear racks, pedals, and toe clips. If you believe it would work for you at this price, I advise you to give it a try and save money over costlier racks. Even if it doesn't have all the features you need, at least you have a rack you can use while you decide what your future needs are, even if it doesn't. This is the best dollar-for-dollar value I have for my bike, barring my knee saver pedal extenders and Bruce Gordon toe clips [I have big feet and shoes.]
No definitive answer exists, but the general consensus seems to be that hanging a bike by its frame is unlikely to cause any damage. This is because the frame is designed to support the weight of the bike and its rider, and is therefore strong enough to handle the additional weight of being hung up. However, it is always best to check with the manufacturer of your bike to be sure, as some frames may be more delicate than others.
No, hanging a bike does not damage the rim. The weight of the bike is evenly distributed and supported by the frame, so there is no risk of damaging the rim.
There are many different ways to transport your bike, but the most popular is by using a bike carrier. There are many different types and brands of bike carriers, so it can be difficult to decide which one to choose. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a bike carrier: -The type of bike you have: Some carriers are designed for specific types of bikes, so make sure to get one that is compatible with your bike. -The size of the bike: Some carriers are designed for smaller bikes, while others can accommodate larger bikes. -How
There are a few ways to transport a bike without a rack. One way is to simply carry the bike. Another way is to use a bike trailer.
Adding a bike hitch to a car typically costs between $100 and $200. The cost will depend on the make and model of the car, as well as the type of hitch being installed. Most bike hitches can be installed by a qualified mechanic in about an hour.
An Allen bike rack can hold up to 100 pounds, making it a great option for those who need to transport heavy bikes. The rack is also easy to install and use, which makes it a great choice for those who are new to bike racks.
