 Hollywood Racks F1B The Original 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack By: Hollywood Racks Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 9 More Information good deal  On: 2008-07-03Easy to use and affordable. Has only four straps to keep it hooked to the car, but that appears to be good enough and stays on well. (Apparently, the EU version has six straps and therefore may cause confusion if one just looks at the picture in the included manual.) In addition, it has one extra long strap to tie up all bikes from the top and two separate straps to tie tires together to prevent flapping. Good design and we are highly pleased. No way 3 bikes  On: 2008-06-27I recently ordered this rack to load up 3 bikes so our family could ride some local trails. It arrived in the time frame given and it was in good shape. It set up well and seemed sturdy. However, there is no way on Earth that this rack would hold all 3 of our bikes. Im not sure how they can advertise this item as being able to carry three bikes. It fit 2 just fine but anyone thinking about buying this for 3 I would recommend looking elsewhere. I am currently attempting to contact the vendor concerning its return policy and will update this review with that information. Sturdy little guy  On: 2008-06-09I used this once so far. Took it out of the box and installation took less than 10 minutes including the reading of directions. I liked this a lot better than the previous rack I bought and returned to Dicks Sporting Goods. The bike never moved once placed on the rack. I am curious to see how it does over long distances, but I do not forsee any problems. I recommend this product. Sturdy On: 2008-02-26This rack comes assembled and ready to use right out of the box. Very sturdy and easy to secure bikes with included nylon straps. Have hauled aound two mountain bikes on weekends with no problems. Three bikes would be tight, but probably doable. Es un buen producto pero necesitas conocerlo... On: 2007-12-22Es facil ajustarlo al automovil y las bicicletas quedan seguras en el, sin embargo necesitas conocer y manipular varias veces el rack para colocarlo y quitarlo rapidamente, por el precio se lleva las palmas...

Great Deal On: 2007-10-22Used only one time and it worked great! Drove over 600 miles with no problems. I carried two heavy bikes on trip. Very easy to use and put on. I love this On: 2007-08-09I got this because my 13-years-old son bikes a lot and sometimes I have to pick him and his bike up from wherever or whenever he gets stuck.(bad weather, after dark from his friends house,etc) I used to simply loaded his bike in cargo area of my minivan. But after switching to Corolla, I needed a different way to transport the bike. So I did some research and came across with this rack. After reading positive reviews Ive decided to give it a try and Im glad I did. Very first time I used it I had to ask my mechanically competent daughter to help me out since Im a total klutz. But after that I just attach/detach it to and from my car without any problem.( Bottom latches are bit trickier for me but its not that a big deal-- remember, Im a total klutz--probably other people wont find it difficult) One person can load a bike on the wrack(I can do it if I have to.) but since the bike needs to be lifted up off the ground( and since Im short, 51"), I ask my son to lift it up and I maneuver it into place. The straps that latches are attached are very long and they fliped and flapped all over the place when I drove. So I folded and tied the extra into a knot and it worked. Adjusting length of straps when attaching the wrack to my car is easy once you get used to it.Ive used it 10+ times so far and has not left marks on my car. It works for my husbands Saturn, too. You might want to keep a flashlight in your car in case you have to set this up in dark. I once threw this in my car instead of attaching to it before I left to pick up my son after dark. although tail light would have been suffice to help me see what I was doing but having flashlight really made the job easier. My husband who teaches technology education at local middle school likes this product, too. He says its very well designed. He likes simple but effective stuff rather than fancy and complicated gadgets. [...]. I hope my review helped you decide whether or not to get this product. In any case, happy biking! Happy customer On: 2007-03-11This product is extremely easy to use. It is very light weight especially for girls to carry their bikes. I am able to set up quickly and fold to put it away. super rack On: 2007-01-15Great rack - easy to adjust to any vehicle. Not fancy but does the job. A winner. |
