An awesome bike rack., August 21, 2010
|
|

I've owned many Thule and Yakama racks and the Hollywood rack compares very favorably. I had 2 large adult bikes, one womans frame, that rode on this for about two thousand miles on a New England tour. In all those miles I had no problems with the rack. The womans frame took a few minutes to figure out the best fit, but it was fine once I found the "sweet spot". It was great being able to open the rear door without having to do anything with the bikes. It did no damage to the spare and the bikes literally did not shift an inch while driving. We watched them in the mirrors and could not believe how steady they were. It was relatively easy to install (no rack is really "easy" in my opinion). The only damage came to one bike from rubbing against the other bike, but this was really because of the way we had strapped/locked them together where the derailleur of one rubbed the fork of the other. This will happen with any rack that hangs bikes and can be easily avoided with careful placement or padding. Overall, this is an outstanding rack and a bargain compared to the alternatives.

Difficult to mount on 2010 RAV4, July 20, 2010
|
|
|
I purchased this rack based on strong reviews from other RAV4 owners to mount on my 2010 RAV4 Limited. I knew I would need to remove the outer hard spare tire cover, and accepted that as a necessary evil. Unfortunately, when I removed the hard spare tire cover, I found that it was still not possible to mount the rack securely. Mounting the rack requires that two straps run between the spare tire and the auto's body (in this case, the RAV4 rear door). The only way to accomplish this on my RAV4 was to remove the spare tire and the black plastic fairing that Toyota mounts on the rear door to protect it from the spare. With the spare and black fairing removed, I placed the entire rack (cushioned to prevent scratches) on the roof of the RAV4, ran the two black straps down the back of the door to the street, and then remounted the black fairing and the spare tire over the straps. In this way I was able to mount the bike rack securely as designed. The rack has worked well once installed -- the bikes seem to be securely mounted, and I see no other problems with it. I give it three stars because it is so difficult to install and remove -- the RAV4 is my wife's car, and there is no way she could install the mount herself.

Stinks. Great way to screw up your bike., July 1, 2010

Used this on a jeep wrangler, properly assembled, nothing out of the ordinary. Unstable as the jeep bounced down the road, straps came loose, arms holding bikes folded. $1200 bike incurred major paint scrapes. TOTAL PRODUCT FAIL, IMO.

Hollywood Bike Rack, June 27, 2010
|
|
The metal part of the rack is not large enough to touch the bottom side of the spare tire therefore the rack is not supported at the bottom. At the top it has a good way to mount to the tire. Cannot use it on my Jeep. My tire size is 275R70 X 16. The mfg should state the hieght of the rack.

Sturdy Li'l Sucker!, June 9, 2010
|

I bought this thing a while back before the beginning of summer to hold my (1) mnt bike. I drive an '09 Jeep Wrangler 2 dr, and this baby snugs to the spare. Upon stripping the top for a beautiful day, my buddies talked me into taking the Jeep to our riding spot. (which happens to be the gorgeous bikers paradise of Dupont State Forest in Brevard NC). Not only did I drive, but we loaded all the bikes on this thing! And by 'buddies' I mean two of them and myself! This rack carried (3) full sized mnt bikes on a bumpy 50 minute roundtrip with no problems. Now mind you, I laid into the straps to tighten them with all my force and prayed the whole way... but SHE did the trick & I won't be reluctant to test her again. (maybe with just (2) bikes next time, like its designed to do.) Hope this helps! God Bless
