I had the same sentiments. I have a 3 and a 5 and I made some upgrades to it. Interesting that you have the wheels tilt to the left? Do you find the bikes stay straight when you put the lower strap on ?
I’ve got one and have just got back from a big tour loaded with 5 bikes. The build quality is terrible, I believe the only reason it didn’t snap is because we ran straps back to the roof rack to stop it flexing backwards lol.
So i dont actually know what JBracks recommends, but I know that with 1upusa only their more beefier racks were suggested for being on the back of a trailer. So knowing that Im not sure.
Heavy e-bike loading looks like it’ll be a back breaking job. No tilt so you have to lift the front wheel up. But I guess less pivot points make it less expensive. And the fact that it’s Chinese made 🤔
I've never heard this type of cadence and diction in real life. But it is all over TH-cam. Why? Is there a school that teaches how to sound like everybody else on TH-cam?
How can you do a review without filming the loaded rack going down different road surfaces? I don’t expect offroad performance but most mountain bike trails have some dirt road access. At least show some footage of turning around corners and sudden stops and starts
Stay far away from this company. They sent me a broken hitch rack and have been saying for months they were going to send me an updated version of one but it was all a lie and a hoax to defraud more customers while I didn’t take action against them. 100% scam

I have not had any issues yet. 👍
I have just bought this rack, just wondering how people attach number plates to the rack, when mine is loaded it obscures the plate on the car
What about drop bars found on road bikes?
I have one of the slots filled with my gravel bike without much issues
Will it work with a fat tire e bike

Is the build quality really that bad? Never mind I can tell this bike rack is using cheap steel, it flexes way too much.
love how this guy is radio silent on your comment here and now where in his review does he actually talk about how it handles road use.
Awesome, was on the fence with this rack, but you sold me!
Don't buy it i got the 6 place rack and it bent with 3 bike my carbon Enduro my 13yr olds carbon trail and my 8yr olds 24" scott ransom
How is the rack holding up?
I Sold it a few months back.
@MTBRadDad can I ask why? Any issues with it?
@DroppingIn It mainly lived in the garage for bike storage, I recently cleaned house on a bunch of bike stuff.
@@MTBRadDad i just ordered one and have seen some reviews regarding poor build quality
Dod anyone use this on travel trailer? The difference in the weight between this one and competitors may suggest that the steel is thinner.

@MTBRadDad thanks! They actual state on the website that you can put this on RV.
The promo code does not work
they fixed the code, it works now 👍
Worked for me today, thanks! Saved $40.00
What is your favorite bike rack?

Its probably because we all suck at reading off our teleprompters haha

Easy, All of our trails locally are easily accessible by paved roads.
Supporting this rack is a joke. They have terrible customer service, build quality is extremely poor. Stay away
What other rack would you recommend?
@@squall6789 Velocirax, thule, anything other than this. Look at one in person. Find negative reviews. You can find a used Velocirax for 500-800.
Any other brand is better. A used Velocirax can be bought around 500-800 @squall6789

Is it really that bad?
