Hollywood RacksHR1000 Sport Rider 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver)

Easy to install and mount bikes onto .

I purchased the 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack and it works great.Since this rack holds the bikes by the wheels vs. the cross bar, it will hold just about any bike without modification or the need to purchase an extra cross-bar frame adaptor.The packaging was excellent and it arrived in a few days directly from Amazon with no damage. The free shipping is nice too.All the parts appear to be of excellent quality and finish. Assembly was straight forward and only took about 15 minutes from the time I unpacked everything until I was able to mount my two bikes on the rack.Assembly was easy. The instructions have you mount the main section of the rack directly into the receiver hitch on your vehicle while you assemble the rest. The required alien wrenches come with it and you will need to provide an adjustable wrench and a standard philips-head screwdriver to complete the assembly.The adjustments for the wheel holders and the hold down clamp were simple to adjust. Remember to un-velcro the wheel straps before setting your bikes in the wheel holders to make it easy to strap the wheels in place.Also adjust the wheel supports so that when your bike is supported by these, the center hold down clamp is positioned to clamp the cross-bar on your bike at the lowest point for secure mounting.If you are mounting a women's bike with no cross-bar, place that on the rack to use the shorter of the two hold down clamps.The hold-down clamps are interchangeable on the main tower, so you can place either one to be mounted toward your vehicle or away, depending on how you want to mount your bikes.With the bikes off the rack, the unit will fold up to get out of the way or you can fold it down out of the way to give to access to the rear of your vehicle to load or unload items.I also purchased the Hollywood Locking Threaded Hitch Pin Bolt with Security Cable. The cable lock is about 9' long and fully coated to protect the finish of your bikes. This allows you to cable lock your bikes in place on the rack and can be used off the rack as well.The locking hitch pin secures the rack to your vehicle so no one walks with the rack.When purchased as a set, both are keyed the same and came with 4 keys.This rack also comes with an adaptor to allow it to mount into a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver hitch. I liked this feature as it allows me to easily mount it to any of my three vehicles which has a mix of receiver sizes.As others have stated, this rack can tend to rock some from side-to-side while driving. If you make sure the received hitch bolt is screwed in tightly it will greatly minimize any rocking action. If however you use a standard hitch pin to secure this rack, since you would need to use an undersized pin to bypass the threads, the rack will rock, but still be secure.I would highly recommend this rack to anyone.

Update. I bought the Nashbar two bike rack, and I regret not getting this Hollywood. The Hitchhiker doesnt have anti-wobble and the locking devices for wheel and frame holder are knobs that NEVER stay where you put them. The Hollywood used a locking lever instead, way better. I miss Hollywood!I've had this rack on my compact hatchback since 2011. its been hit by another car, so its not functioning properly. I'm going to replace it, but its had a long good life. I've used it on average a few times a week, and i'm happy. I almost never take it off. There is some flaking of paint with rust underneath, and some rust where pieces rub together, but the paint on the majority of the rack still looks great with just a little fading. I used to cover the rack while not in use, and that staved off the sun fading very effectively. I wish i was more consistent with covering it! I may wax it to get the original look back, but I am still very happy with this rack. Despite 6 years of constant Florida sun and rain, all parts are still original.the anti-wobble pin in the receiver does a great job, although only a small lock will fit in the hole provided. The thumbscrew that stabilizes the upright part of the rack is effective, but needs to be checked often.the hardware is holding up well, including the plastic parts and hand wheels. Nuts and bolts are only rusting where paint has worn off in logical places. i've had road bikes, mtbs, and cruisers of all sizes with no problem. The only wear on the foam is where i got careless, but its still soft and holding up well.getting two bikes on is a little awkward on my small car, but is doable. Hollywood recommends putting a single bike on the inside holder, but I ALWAYS put my mountain bike on the outside rack with no problem. On/off the car is very fast and easy. the rack is low, but I've never scraped it on steep driveways or speed humps. I am able to open my hatch without folding down the rack which was a pleasant surprise. The bike wobbles a bit while on dirt roads, but I expect that with this price point. This rack was a compromise from a $350 rack, and i am still happy with these small complaints.After it got backed into, i tried to straighten the fold-down arms. (1 1/2" box tubing) They bent where they clamp into the hitch bar, so i thought if i could straighten them out again, i would be back in business. No way. I tried the press in my husbands shop, i tried propping up on end on a block of wood and driving my car over it, but it would just not bend back. Considering the force this took, i'm impressed with how the rack held up against the damage. The rack took the damage without any damage to the bike. If it weren't for this accident, I'm sure this rack would last many more years.

I bought the Hollywood bike rack a few months ago, I can highly recommend the product. It appears to be well made, our bikes fit perfectly onto the back, both bikes feel 100 % secure even when going over rough road surfaces. The only "negative" I have is that the rack is quite heavy, my wife would have problems putting on the rack......but I guess this is why the rack feels so sturdy.

Excelente relación producto-precio a mi me gusto bastante, fue muy fácil de armar y es muy Gabi de usar

Buena marca a buen precio!
