Carry 2 bikes vertically by the handlebars with this unique, hitch-mounted rack. The innovative Hang2 holds your bikes without contacting the frames or forks, and it tilts away from your vehicle for easy loading and unloading.The bike rack is made for bikes with no fender, our bikes have fenders and a rack over the back tire. We added some padding for the back tire so the rack doesn't get scratched, it works just fine our bikes are secure.
Nice to keep bike rims distant from the exhaust, which can damage carbon-fiber rims. But, IMHO over-designed......very heavy with thick-walled box channel sections. At least we know it won't structurally fail :)
Solid support for transporting 2 bikes vertically. Nice drop down feature for accessing rear hatch door in SUV.
GREAT customer service during the buying process. Matt was helpful and provided his direct contact information...pretty unique in this day and age. We are in the process of putting the bike rack together and are pretty impressed with it's durability.
Good bike rack
This wall mount for bike racks is solid and well-built and does the job. That said the design is not especially sophisticated and one could accomplish the same think with (very) heavy duty hooks going into the studs. The rack hangs at a bit of an angle and not perfectly parallel to the floor because there is quite a bit of loose tolerance (slop) in the design. You can mount it at floor level (as in the etrailer video) or high up on a wall and have the rack hang down (as I did). The floor level mounting is safer because you don't have to lift a heavy bike rack while inserting the hanging pin . The high wall mounting gets it more out of the way but not for someone struggling with the weight of the bike rack. Give that choice some thought. I added a shelf bracket at the bottom to take up some of weight because the rack is on the wall next to my much loved Porsche :). I also added a couple of screw eye into to studs for bungee cords to clamp everything against the wall
Be SURE the screws are solidly into concrete or studs. There is a lot of weight and lever arm physics going on. But it all works. I would have happily paid more for something matching the engineering on the Thule rack itself.
Etrailer is the best. I look forward to being stuff from them
Perfect item for storing my Thule rack off the ground and out of the way. I was very skeptical about the little screws it came with so I used 1/4" x 4" lag screws instead and it feels rock solid. I mounted it to a 4x4 piece of wood that I bolted to my storage shelf as I didn't have any open wall space.
This product worked great with my Saris rack. I decided to hang the rack upside down to keep it as close to the wall as possible.
The product is very secure to the wall. I used the screws that came with it.
The rack weighs 32 lbs (14.5 Kilograms), so this product should have no problem holding the weight.
In the picture I ran the locking cable through the bracket to provide a little more security. I also used the front hold to store the locking hitch pin.
I'm happy with this product and will recommend it to others.
Now that I've had a chance to use the rack I have to be honest it is quite flimsy. If I would have known it was going to be so flimsy I would have ordered the Swagman X Mount Bike Carrier Storage Rack - Wall Mount - 2" Racks. I would ask to return it but I don't have any of the original packaging. This is the first time I've dealt with your company and I have to say I really like it. Fast shipping, email updates on my order and your follow up email.
Just not sturdy enough for my Softride Dura Assist 4. It could just about hold up the bike rack, but the addition of a single bike caused the whole thing to bend.
Bought this product to mount my older Yakima big swing bike rack. Since it's older its made out of steel which makes it pretty heavy. Once mounted the metal frame would twist and the arm of the rack would sag. I propped up the arm of the rack with a 2x4 cut to the desired length and problem solved.
Great simple product to keep my KUAT Sherpa rack off the ground. Simple design and does everything it is intended to do at a fraction of the cost of other solutions that does the same thing (albeit looking fancier, with a few more bells and whistles). Simple, inexpensive solution.
With a 30 pound rack hanging off of one side, the holder is a little "twisted". Maybe a piece of metal reinforcing the holder near the front would prevent this. But I'm being nit-picky. Not sure how a 55lb Thule 916XTR would hold up though, which is what this is intended to carry as well. But for the price, there's really no complaints as it does what it needs to do.
Only issue I have is that the phillips-head screws that come with the kit are terrible. The material is soft, stripping easily, and the head is very shallow. Driving a 3" phillips head screw into a stud with a brand new bit was very difficult with the screw heads pretty much stripped now. I'll likely be able to remove, but won't be able to reuse them again. Should come with a Robertson or hex-head bolt instead.
lacks strength, rigidity, and durability. Installed this in my garage, anchored to a wall stud through drywall. It seemed well anchored but buckled when I placed my bike rack onto it. I have a Thule T2, 2-bike carrier, weighs 56 pounds. I didn't even fully release the carrier from my hands before this devise buckled and nearly came off the wall. I then installed in a different wall stud bit with stronger screws and same thing happened. This might be good for ultra-light carriers but not sturdy enough for many.
Works as advertised even for a heavy bike rack.
The staff at etrailer.com was very helpful as I had some questions as to the model to purchase.
Excellent for my Thule rack. Easy install, I'm actually ordering a 2nd one.
This is a really great solution - simple to install, simple to use. The eTrailer.com order experience was superb - couldn't be happier!
Wall hanger arrived in 2 days. Worked as described.
Items arrived on time in good condition and were as advertised. I will not hesitate to be a return customer.
