In the dark, loading for only the 2nd time I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and knew that it worked because the 1st time the bike went straight on no issue! If I was trying to hold a 60lb bike in the air during this process I would have probably said forget it!! Once I figured it out though, it hasn't been an issue since!! So check your spoke spacing during the load. My wife's bike is a 20x4 wheel though, and the spoke gaps make it a little harder. If your wheels have good spoke gaps, then it's a non-issue altogether. This is primarily only an issue for the inner bike, but to a certain extent also true for the outer bike. The 'trick' I've learned is that you have to pay careful attention to your spoke pattern as the cradle arms pass through those. With no lighting in the car park it made it a little more challenging. Our first time I loaded the bikes in the daylight, we went for a ride but returned to the vehicle late and it was dark. ![]() The first few times I recommend giving yourself some extra time while you figure it out. I drop that to the ground and then load the bikes. I do have the lift option as the Yukon hitch is so high. Each time we've gone to ride though, my middle daughter has had the car, or we've also been taking our two youngest with us and their bikes are inside (Yukon XL). I would have been second guessing the integrity.Ĭlick to expand.So far I've only done a test fitting on the 1 1/4" hitch, and it was good. My VW hitch appears to have one bracket screwed to sheet metal. When I was younger, I could lay under a tall car like Jeep and lift the 80 pounds of rack. In the future, perhaps an SUV, a 2' hitch, and a less wiggly rack. SInce then, our traveling bikes were reduced to 35 pounders, less w/o batteries, so I can use my Swagman within its advertised limits. The bottom of the hitch would scrape going into gas stations. However, it's a light car and two bikes plus luggage for three people and a dog, and the rear springs would sag 2-3 inches. With enough strap tension, I felt I could keep the effective weight close to 100 pounds. ![]() I've always used supplementary roof straps. Later, I downsized to a VW wagon with only a 100-150 pounds tonque weight on its class 1 hitch. It's only rated for 35 pounds per bike., but I owned a Honda Pilot with a 2" hitch, so there was no tongue weight issue, I also judged that the rack would not explode with my bikes stripped down to 45 and 50 pounds. When I bought my Swagman XTC2, I didn't think at the time to look at weight limits. All rights reserved.Court may only be carrying one bike on his Prius.
