Does a Single Part of Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Determine Weight Rating
Question:
What part of a hitch platform fat tire bike rack determines the per bike weight limit? Is it the wheel holder assembly? The clamp down restraining hooks? Some other component? I see the wheel holder tubing goes all the way through and is double welded on this 80 lbs per bike rated rack. Is that all that increases the rating? Thank you, Tom J.

Hey Tom,
So there isn't one single component that gives the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR an 80 lb per-bike capacity. It is a combination of a lot of things, including the welded gussets of the wheel holders and reinforced frame construction, per Hollywood Racks.
