Great, but two issues,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yakima Stick Up Bike Rack (Sports)
Overall, the quality of materials, and design and construction of this rack are outstanding. Loading and unloading bikes from the rack is a breeze and the rack easily folds out of the way when not in use.
I have 2 complaints, however. The first is the straps that hold back tire in the wheel pocket. The straps are plastic, and have teeth on them to engage a ratcheting mechanism that you are supposed to use to tighten the strap down. The issue is that the plastic is fairly soft, and even a moderate amount of ratcheting tension will bend or shear off the plastic teeth. In fact, I finally stopped using the ratchets and simply pull the free end the the strap with my hand until tight instead. Strangely enough, even though the strap can easily be removed and replaced in seconds with no tools, Yakima does not appear to offer it as a separate part. You must buy the entire wheel pocket assembly. My other complaint is the 2 inch receiver adapter that comes with the rack. It appears to be very slightly smaller than it should be. As a result, the entire rack flops around from left to right and up and down during travel as the adapter wiggles around inside the receiver. Other than those two issues, I am satisfied with this rack.

Bike fell off on first use,
By Spencer Watson (Papillion, NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yakima Stick Up Bike Rack (Misc.)
I used this rack for two road bikes and have several issues:
1) The wheel trays seem too small for the road bike tires. 2) The screw-in to mount it to your receiver is not very easy to do - why didn't they make this product fit a standard hitch pin? 3) After loading $3500+ of road bikes on the rack and driving less than 2 miles, I was horrified to see one fall off the rack and get drug on the street. I think the problem came from the front wheel coming out of the front wheel tray and falling down. I would definitely NOT recommend this rack if you want to keep your road bikes secure.

Yakima Stickup Stands Up !,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yakima Stick Up Bike Rack (Sports)
This was everything that I thought it would be. Good sturdy construction and good parts quality. The only issue that I have found is that my wife's bike has a frame that is so low that hook that holds the frame won't go quite low enough to keep the bike from a little front to back sway. I just wrap a towel around the frame so no real problem but it wasn't quite as expected.
