Hard to beat a hitch rack. Mounted on a kuat pivot.

I’ve been using the Hollywood rack from amazon, for the past four years. It’s modular so it holds two bikes and you can add the two additional rack part on the end of it. Now that I have the gladiator though, I think I’ll use a tailgate bike pad to hall my bikes around.

I have a 1up hitch rack that is great but by my measurement, I won't be able to fit the glady in the garage with it installed. Ordered up two bomber straps and if my Glady ever arrives, I'll post my experience with them here. I like the idea of being able to leave them on and if needed remove and toss in the bed or the cab.

Are those kids bikes on there? How do they hold up in transit? Looking at something like this so I can use it on the JT, Van, and back of the camper. afraid to pull the trigger due to the cost of these setups.

Yes, those are two 24” bikes, along with my 29er and my wife’s 27”. The rack has been used many times for long distance drives, with all four bikes on it. I use it on average 3 times a week, for the past 4 years. Rack still operates like new.

I have put four adult bikes on it as well. Works the same. The rack is no frills, but it gets the job done well. Also folds up, when not in use. After four years, I would buy it again.

Took Delivery on Saturday and rode Sunday. The Bomber Straps seem strong, bikes were stable. Fishing the velcro clamps between the front wheel spokes and around the fork leg is annoying. I can see hating this when the bike is muddy, still, i like the convenience of stowing the straps when not in use and retaining use of the rear cam. Anyone try the magnetic strap?

yeah that’s it. It’s just a newer version with a locking mechanism. The padded hooks that pull down over the top tube lock in place With a key. Mine don’t lock.

The KB vodoo cross bars have been awesome for transporting my bikes this summer. It is a little tight rolling the tonneau cover up the few times I've needed. It would be sweet if one side had a quick release pin, the other side had a hinge and gas struts. So you could unpin one side and the struts would lift the bars a few inches, and make the cover more accessible. Without the bikes being loaded of course.

Nice Marins. It is hard to beat the value of those bikes. I have a Rift Zone myself.

Thank you. The Hawkhill 2 is mine and the Rift Zone is my grilfriend's. Great bikes at a great value.

I just mounted a through axel mount to a small board, holds my Ti Motobecane very well.

Last Saturday’s project! Exactly how I envisioned it except for those damn bolt heads. 2 rains and looks like crap. Will replace with stainless tomorrow.

@Mudder17 Where did you get the front wheel holders. Those are genius.

Thanks.
Googled front bike tire holder and just started browsing.

I’ve also since replaced the bolts with stainless. Looks A LOT better.
