4.0 out of 5 stars Never Owned one, but I guess it's a goodie
This is my first bike rack. Immediately, I noticed that it wiggles a little in its harness, but I found out they all most likely wiggle a bit. It holds four bikes which is great and it stores really well as it is a single arm typr, rather than the double arm ones that are so popular. It comes with the handy 1 1/4" to 2" conversion thingy, which is great for sure. I've...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good rack, but room for improvement
The rack is OK, but I have two problems with it:

1. The design of the hitch mount that lets you use 2" or 1.25" receivers makes the rack cumbersome to install.
2. The rack uses a threaded bolt, instead of a hitch pin, to attach to the receive. The bolt is an odd size, so it is impossible to lock the rack to the receiver.

This is my first bike rack. Immediately, I noticed that it wiggles a little in its harness, but I found out they all most likely wiggle a bit. It holds four bikes which is great and it stores really well as it is a single arm typr, rather than the double arm ones that are so popular. It comes with the handy 1 1/4" to 2" conversion thingy, which is great for sure. I've hauled 4, 3, 2, and 1 bike with it, and they all rode well on the back. It swivels down for easy access to the rear of the vehicle. The only hassle is that the bikes are secured by screwing down two bolts, which takes a bit of time. Some quick release mechanism would be far better and handy. Over all, though, for the money this was a good purchase.

This review is from: SportRack - A30604 - Hitch'n'Drive 4 Bike Rack - (For 1.25"/2" Receiver) (Sports)
I have only used this carrier a few times, but it seems to really secure the bikes well. I have used the Saris Bare bones 3 (Strap on carrier) up until now. Everyone raves about it, but I have had nothing but trouble with the strap on type carrier. I would not have used the strap on carrier to travel too far. I would travel anywhere with this carrier.
Pros:
-Works with 1.25 inch or 2 inch hitch
-Secures the bike very well
-You can purchase a locking knob for security!!!! You do not have to worry as much about your bikes if you make a stop while traveling. SportRack Locking Knob for Hitch and Drive

Cons:
-Some simple assembly required
-Directions for assembly not great but can figure them out.
-Must unscrew the mount that holds the bikes, not as easy as most carriers, but I think it is a very minor inconveinence, because you can add the locking knob for security.

Overall I am happy with this purchase and I am looking forward to stopping on the road when I want and not having to worry about someone walking off with my bicycles.
