Bike enthusiasts are understandably anxious about transporting their mountain and road bikes using conventional racks. We at CycleSimplex also felt uneasy putting a substantial investment (as well as our pride and joy) on a rack that could damage our bike... so we developed a smarter model. Our bike rack rack allows you to transport your mountain or road bicycle safely. The specialized bike rack design allows your bike to sit on its wheels without any damaging contact between the bikes or the rack.

Recumbent, Rans Rocket and an old Trek touring bike
Bottom Line:
I paid a king's ransom for a rack that has given me nothing but frustration. Bolts work loose and the rack swings around too much. I wouldn't attempt to take this rack cross country or on country roads. Systems that involve wheel wells, and ratchet locking booms are superior in design, easier to assemble, easier to load and unload, and cost less.
