Platform Bike Rack Recommendation that has Minimal Movement in the Hitch it is Installed In
Question:
Ive narrowed down my bike rack ion to the Swagman XTC or Chinook and the Hollywood Sport Rider. Ive read a few reviews that seem to suggest the Swagman sways a ton when attached to a 1.25 inch hitch, even with the anti-sway bolt. Evidently the Hollywood doesnt have that problem. Have you guys used these on a 1.25inch hitch?

The Hollywood Racks Platform rack part # HR1000Z will have a bit of movement like most platform bike racks do, but it's really not too bad. If you check out the test course video I attached for this rack you can see it being driven around on our test course.
If you are looking for a bike rack that is very solid and would have minimal movement you would want the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. If you check out the review video for this rack you can see that it doesn't move hardly at all. I really like this rack and would recommend it highly.
