- Bell offers a number of different ways to transport your bike by car. If you choose one of our easy-to-use strap racks, this video can walk you through the process of attaching it to your car and mounting your bike to the rack.
thank you-your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. We borrowed a rack from a friend for a trip and now we will use it safely. Have a great day!
Awsome instructions. I thought I would never figure it out with all those straps. I watched this video once and wham bam thank you mam it is on. Thank you.
This is so calming
After a few tears and curse words and laying down. I googled how to instal and you came up . I don’t hate bike racks as much as I did before . But I still hate them
I haven't strapped my bike onto my car in years. And my straps aren't labeled. But your video really helped me. I need to replace my rack at some point, but for now it works.
Thanks so much for the video. I just bought a Bell 2 bike rack... It did not have side straps, though. Just the upper and lower clips.
The Internet is a marvellous thing. Thanks for posting...had to pull my rack out of the garage when I got a new car, and switch it over...you made it easy!
Why does it require an item that isn't included?
I thought "Breakfast at Tifanny's" was playing at the beginning of the video. lol Thank you for the tutorial.
swaggityswag8156 totally had that song stuck in my head after watching this
Ok, now for the guitar lesson 😂
We couldn't figure out how to get the bike on there, and this was very helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for the video...it helps a lot. I've got the 2-bike rack which doesn't have side straps. I guess I really do need another cable for a secure hold.
I kind of had the Jerry-rig mine because I do not have those velcro straps, but I made it work and this video helped! Thx😆
This dude is so calming for some reason
thank you for the video..step by step basic instruction is very useful for a first time users like me...really appreciated.
*I was expecting a lot of shortcuts to be taken at this price. I was wrong. Decent quality **Latest.Bike** raker . Easy on easy off.*
Best quickest to the point thank you one guy had us watching him wash his car for a clean surface like we’re 3 😂😂😂😂
Can someone explain what kind of "security cable" i'm going to need to get? Is it something along the lines of more straps?
I'm the third guy here asking the same question. What's the purpose of the smaller (secondary) tube? I have a 2-bike rack and this have that piece too.
I've figured it out! It's so they can charge more....
You guys fucking rock. What's the purpose of the smaller secondary metal frame though? Cheers.
great instructions. easy peezy
Many thanks very clear instructions
Thanks great video. Simple and to the point!
Thank you so much. You're a great teacher making it so simple than i thought
Gee i found a bike rake in the trash, Did not know what it was for or how to use it, Thank you...
Thanks 😊
Thank you Bell :)
This helped so much thank you 😭😭😭😭😭
i have a 2 bike rack. I'm a downhill rider, so my downhill bike (an NS Fuzz) is quite big, and therefore is all that fits on the rack. However, it fits perfectly! i mount the bike with one rack arm underneath the downtube, near the fork, and the other through the seatpost triangle.
I need to replace a couple of rubber cradles for my Bell rack like this model.
Very helpful review
That's a nice bike my dude.
Is it safe to drive with a cycle mounted on this at around 100km/hr or more?
absolutely
Somethin somethin Breakfast at Tiffany's i remember the film and i said i recall we both kinda liked it and you said well that's the one thing we got!
Can you use the trunk with this on it? Never had one before but someone just gave me a bike with a bike rack
very good and informative video, it looks like easy to use
Thank you very much for the video you have helped greatly
excellent buy I recommend it
If anyone follows these instructions, and doesn’t take additional steps, the bike will be in pieces after a short drive. There’s nothing keeping the bike from swinging forward and backward.
Also, the word “locate” - used twice in this “instructional” video ( as in “all you want to do is locate the bicycle”) is incorrect. “Position “ or even “place” is the word he’s looking for. He’s conflating “locate” with “location”.
Thanks you. 👍
Thank you for this video! It's so helpful! :D
Very helpful straightforward instructions. Thank you!
dude thanks for this video.. i appreciate you for it
I believe that 2nd tube part of the bike rack is used when attaching the rack to a hatchback
i was wondering the same
thanks for video
Is there anyone at Bell who is answering any of these flippin' questions?
4 years later still no answer!
There are three padded bars... I understand how 2 are used, what do you do with the third? Confusing....
I have one question, how do you lock the bikes while they are on the rack so nobody steals them?
One small i problem I have with this rack is my bike does not have a horizontal top bar…. So it doesn’t fit well if safely at all. Any suggestions?
quick question. my bike is longer then my car is wider and i want to know if that is a problem? if so what can i do
I bought BELL 2 bike rack but it doesn't have the SIDE CLIP, Do I need to add the side clip or not? thanks ...
We have this rack, but it does not have side straps, just upper and lower. Are we missing something?
The song sounded like Rapunzel's 'When Will My Life Begin' 🤭
Thanks.
awesome thank you so much
Thanks!!
I just bought this and I only have 4 strips
Does it dent the trunk
Thank you!!!!
What would stop someone from stealing it?
Can you fit the big size bike? What if bike ends up being wider than a car, would cops fine you?
Good video, but it’s so shitty that Bell would require an item that isn’t included…
Just bought a Bell 2-bike trunk rack and it only came with the upper & lower straps. There was no side straps and the book mentioned the side straps. I was wondering is it because I have the 2-bike rack instead of the 3-bike rack?
+sasithornamy Correct. The side straps are on the three bike model.
Will this still work if you car has a spoiler? Placing this on a Acura TSX.
What can I do if the red buttons are not working?
Mmmm are You rear lights fully visable? what if one wants to steal the Rack? cant there be some anti thieft device added to this unit? pain in the hole taking it off before going riding!!
Wouldn’t these hooks scratch my paint.?
How come my bike rack doesn't have the velcro I bought it off someone are they missing or are some without?
They are missing.
What bike rack do you recommend?
That won’t Scratch your car or the bike rack won’t break?
Can this accommodate a womans bike that doesn't have the horizontal cross bar?
You will have to purchase a horizontal bar that attaches to the stem and seat post. Just search for "top tube adapter" on Amazon or search engine.
Can I carry 2 bikes in this rack for 1700kms? Pls suggest me
Will that give my car any scratches?
Can use it in a Ford focus hatch back?
It worked the first time second time it peeled my car paint
rip
Cardboard or plastic beneath hooks.
Plastic milk jars work
why doesn't it show how to install from the beginning instead of already having it mostly assembled
I just got mine and it comes fully assembled in the box
I dont have velcro straps. Thats the part im stuck on
Can this three-bike rack carry just one ebike is which is 60 lbs?
yes, i believe it carries bikes up to 100lbs.
Thank you. The instructions that came with the rack were not clear.
I would tie zip ties on it as well
You don't talk about how to adjust the swivel mechanism.
Obviously not living in South Africa.
What about it covering your license plate
that's got to have scratches on the car
I bought the two bike rack but have a Kia Soul. Could please, please, please update and make a new video showing how to put it on a model like my car/hatchback? Thank you soo much for everything.
What if you have a hatchback?
This isn't designed for hatchbacks
What if you have a horse and carriage?
@@mr.honoraryboomer I don’t have hatchback sold it ☹️
@@angelf5186Then why tf are you asking about hatchbacks.
Bro.
@@davecrupel2817 it was 3 years ago sorry 😐
Granite Peak Roadmaster 26" bikes won't fit on these properly. The top bar is too short length-wise.
The rear of the bike must be supported behind the saddle shaft.
that sucks also sounds like the bike I wanted from Target
I love it, but a girls bike doesn't have the cross bar.
what's a girls bike? I thought the only difference would be color
Yikes! You can hear the hooks hitting the sheet metal. There goes the paint.
and this is how you scratch the car
Another video that doesn't show you how to get it to unfold. Great.
My bmx bike doesn’t fit rip
this is a man's/boy's bike.. what if it does not have that cross bar??? you know, a girl's bike"?
+doreen steinhauser You would need a bike adaptor bar, which adds a top tube to the bike. They have one at Walmart:
www.walmart.com/ip/Allen-Bicycle-Adaptor-Bar/10812004
You tighten the straps with sliplocks? Seriously?
hahahaha 🤣😂😂
Wouldn't that be super easy to steal?
yes
just installed it seems like a fucking death trap. the front tire is gonna hit the car and all sorts of shit.
And there goes my bike and rack down the interstate..... FUCK
So you MUST use additional strap not included. BELL what the are you doing? Include the strap!!!! This rack is garbage
@homegrownbuddy - I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. It's virtually impossible to use this and NOT get a scratch on the trunk of your vehicle. It's useless Walmart garbage that is made of the most inferior products. I guess if you have a cheap bike and a cheap car, it's okay to use. But I would not recommend this product to anyone.
But how the fuck do you get a woman’s bike on the rack?
Lol
Didn’t help at all!!!!
Looks sketchy as fuck 🤨
