Title: Not the most compact rack but it does the job
Review: I won't spend much time echoing what others have already said: bikes are held pretty securely once the clamps and velcro wheel straps are in place. I haven't noticed much side-to-side sway though there is some up-and-down sway that could probably be eliminated by drilling a hole for a second hitch bolt.Do be aware that this is not a very compact rack. The tire platforms fold up but the rail that mates with the hitch is rigid and sticks out a couple feet from the rear of the vehicle. I find that I cannot close my garage door with the rack attached to my truck. Contrast this with the "hanging" style of hitch-mounted rack where you can fold the rack down when not in use.Shame Hollywood Racks didn't design the clamps to have a built-in locking mechanism (perhaps using the same key as the hitch pin lock). I would have gladly paid another $30-$40 so that I wouldn't have to cable my bikes...
