from Vancouver, WA USA Date Reviewed: August 31, 2003 Strengths: Bought under the "Hitchmate GlideAway" name. By unscrewing a large butterfly nut AND pulling a pin, a pair of scissor arms allows the rack to pull away from the vehicle. Weaknesses: The rubber straps that hold the bikes are not very heavy duty. One of them broke the first time I used the rack. Also, it was very difficult to fit my wife's Trek with a ladies frame, and my kid's small mountain bikes. Finally, there's nothing to keep the bikes from swinging into each other as you brake and accelerate. I had high hopes for this rack, but the poor design of the rubber straps had me return it after the first use. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: GI Joes Similar Products Used: This was my first rack in many years. I will try a name-brand next. Bike Setup: Hybrids & mountain bikes.
