from Southern New Hampster Date Reviewed: May 11, 2009 Strengths: Velcro securing straps seem more secure than methods used on higher end Saris and Thule racks. Weaknesses: Rubber brackets for bike slide around are not secured in a fixed position. The chainring on my Fisher has been bashing against the rack's frame. Chainring is ok, but rack frame is scratched up and dented and is now possibly compromised. Improved somewhat with additional bungees to secure the bike, at least my fork no longer hits my trunk. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: FOMBA Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $30.00 Purchased At: Walmart Bike Setup: 07 Fisher Wahoo, Mavic Crossride wheels, 185mm BB7's Front & Rear

from San Diego, California Date Reviewed: June 16, 2000 Strengths: Inexpensive. Fairly simple to setup. Folds and stores well. Weaknesses: This rack hates the laws of aerodynamics -- unstable, especially when driving over 35 mph. No way of keeping the car and the bike from colliding while driving.

from Slippery Rock, PA Date Reviewed: April 24, 2000 Strengths: Cheap and that's it!!!!!! Weaknesses: My fiance and I had just purchased new bikes and had them in layaway since February. We got them out on April 14 and bought one of the Bell Bike Racks. We had not gotten a chance to ride our bikes yet and took them home over Easter weekend to show our families and pick up a bike for a friend. We were driving home that Saturday night being very careful not to hit bumps etc when we heard a crash and immediately pulled over. The bike rack was still attached to the car but all three bikes were laying on the ground with mangled wheels and brake systems. Not to mention my new Plymouth Neon that I just purchased a few weeks ago now has several deep scratches on the bumper!!!!! The only thing that kept the bikes on were the extra cords we had attached to the rack. As for the rack, the straps had snapped and the strap buckles were broken in half. Also it took us over 40 minutes late at night to repack my car with three bikes! Trust me Bell Sports will be hearing from me!!!!!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Nearby park trails Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: First time buyer. Bike Setup: Set it up on back of Plymouth Neon---it was a 3 bike carrier.
