Negative Positive
Title: Poor design
Review: I admit, I saw this on a Lightning Deal and got taken. After looking at it and mounting it to my brother's car, I realized that there is only one "point of contact" holding the bike to the carrier. All of the other bike racks I've seen have 2 arms, thus holding the bike securely near the seat post and the handlebars. This holds your bike somewhere in the middle, sandwiched between 2 metal plates. The problem is if you're only carrying one bike, the plates don't seem to clamp down properly. But if you carry 2 bikes, the plates clamp down properly, but then they flex because of the load of 2 bikes. I honestly don't see how anyone could trust their bike to this design. We never tried and now I'm looking for a new bike rack.
Is the review positive or negative?
