Finding a bike rack that will transport your recumbent cycle in a secure manner and without damage has been a problem. Some recumbents have the crank ahead of the front wheel and others have it behind the front wheel. The wheelbase and the height of the crank off the ground also varies widely. CycleSimplex's unique bicycle rack design allows us to accommodate the varied configurations of today's recumbent bikes. With our rack your bikes sit on their wheels and there is no damaging contact between the bikes or the rack and the bikes themselves.

Strengths:
Customer service was excellent. Manufacture takes dimensions of your bike to choose parts to send.
Weaknesses:
Poor assembly instructions, hitch did not line up with receiver, too much sway, bolts come loose, hitch does not angle up from receiver making rack ride too low, too expensive

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.
