Does Swagman XC2 Bike Rack Require Wheel Straps
Question:
Are wheel straps necessary for the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style? We are going on a long road trip with our bikes and want to make sure we protect our gear.

The Swagman XC part # S64650 does not require wheel straps to secure the bikes to the rack. The hooks pulling down on the bike frame into the wheel hoops holds the very bikes securely. Wheel straps would be essentially pointless so they are not required/included. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
