## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the max weight limit of bikes it can carry?**
A: According to Curt's website the max load is 225 lbs.  http://www.curtmfg.com/Category/181/Premium%20Bike%20Rack

**Q: If I have a 1 1/4 inch receiver, will I need to buy an adapter? And how can you 'adapt' a 2-inch tube to fit into a 1 1/4 inch tube?**
A: I know they make adaptors to go from 1 1/4 into a 2 but not sure about the other way for safety reasons. A 1 1/4 hitch receiver less of a weight rating. Remember you'll have nearly five hundred pounds of bikes on the rack plus the weight of the rack.  Adaptors are just adding another point for failure. Hope this helped.

**Q: How long are the arms?**
A: 33in long and 14in outside at the widest point / 8in outside wide at the shortest width.

**Q: will this fit with spare tire mounted on back of jeep**
A: It should but may rub on the tire causing wear on the tire or cover.   You can buy an extension piece

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 out of 5 stars, 2000+ miles and performed great
*by E***Y on July 20, 2016*

If I could give it 4.5 stars I would, but I rounded up. I bought this product in anticipation of the great American road trip. We used it while traveling 2350 miles, from Colorado to Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and back through Colorado, mounted on the back of a newer model Toyota Sequoia. We are not a serious biking family, so I did not want to spend the money for a significantly more expensive product like a Thule or a Yakima, so I can't judge whether this is a better product than those pricey models. We mounted two adult mountain bikes, a "beach cruiser" type adult bike, a small mountain bike, and a BMX size bike. It did not take any serious "Jenga" effort to fit all those bikes on there, although I did need the adapter for the cruiser used on step-through frame bikes. I did have the heavier bikes closer to the vertical tube, but I think you could put 5 adult size bikes on here without any issue. I think that if all the bikes were the same style, it might even be easier. There is plenty of clearance from the vertical tube to the ends of the carrier bars to fit five bikes, and the blocks are adjustable. I really liked that you get more than enough rubber straps; I think it came with at least 18.No issues with bars bending, swaying, or any kind of black rubber residue (as was noted on the Allen Sports Premier Hitch Mounted 5-Bike Carrier, which is why I chose this one over that one). Assembly was really easy, and takes less than 20 minutes with basic tools and skills. Mounted the bottom part that attaches to the hitch with the threaded bolt which prevents sway, Then attach the vertical tube and the actual carrier part. The only thing I did not like is that the mounted bolts and pins were previously used, as you could clearly see tool marks on them. My gut instinct is that someone bought the item I have, tried it and then returned it. No marks were visible on the carrier itself though. I like that the carrier bars that the bikes rest on seem to have a slight amount of flex in them, which I believe makes them much more resistant to bending than some of the competition models. The tilt function on this carrier works very well and when it is tilted down at about a 45 degree angle, I had full access to open the back hatch on my Sequoia, and I believe most full size SUV's would not have any issues.The bikes did not really shift at all the whole trip other than some minimal movement of the blocks on the carrier bars. I will say though that life is great on the interstate, but beware of bumps on by-ways. I hit a low spot in a neighborhood going too fast and the bounce of the bikes got my attention real quickly. Even then, they did not come unsecured. The only other issue I had is just a physics problem and not an issue with the product: Five bicycles are really heavy when you have to lift the carrier from the tilted to the upright position. I'm not a huge guy (nearly 6 feet and 200 pounds) and am decently strong, but it was not an exercise I enjoyed. It also is a two person job, as it requires at least one person to lift, and another to pin the carrier back into position. So that is probably the most serious consideration for smaller than average folks with this product. Something that swings away horizontally might be a better choice for you. I will note that on my vehicle, when in the tilt position, the smaller bikes being the most rearward meant that they did not hit the ground and bare the weight of the carrier. This might not be the case with adult bikes, so you could potentially bend the wheels on the outermost bike if you are not careful. It seems to me this carrier is really designed for a family: 2 adults and three kid - sized bikes.Pros:Easy assemblyStout constructionNo sway issuesPlenty of tie down straps with no residueWill fit five full size bikes easilyTilt feature is useful on full size SUV type vehicles with hatchesCons:Used mounting hardware on my itemCarrier will still "bounce" at the upper part if you hit a serious bumpApparently bikes defy the laws of physics and gain mass while traveling: Five bikes are HEAVY to lift from tilt to uprightso Tilt feature may not be for everyone

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall good value
*by S***N on July 18, 2023*

We were able to fit all 5 bikes on here. Only real issue was that a few of the rubber straps actually broke putting them on, but it came with enough that we had extras. So it worked out

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by A***R on June 28, 2025*

Great product! Very durable and holds our four Trek bikes very well. There were very few parts that needed assembly, so it was easy to install and use.
