Here are 6 things you need to know about the Allen Bike Rack before you click that buy button! ***STAY TUNED TO THE END OF THIS ALLEN BIKE RACK REVIEW FOR SOME HELPFUL TIPS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING!*** 0:33 1.

Rear Access 4:42 BONUS CONTENT HANGING RACKS There are two general types of bike racks. Tray racks where the bike’s wheels sit on trays, and hanging racks, where bikes hang from their top tube or an adaptor that serves as a makeshift top tube. The primary benefits of hanging racks are that they are cheaper, smaller, and lighter. Platform racks can get up to almost 100 lbs. The hanging Allen bike rack weighs just 26 lbs and can be taken on and off the car quite easily. A drawback of hanging racks is that they store the bikes more tightly together. This makes them a bit more of a puzzle to use than tray racks. Additionally, because they are stored so closely together bikes are also more likely to get scratched or damaged. LOADING BIKES While the manual tells you to alternate the direction of the bikes when loading the rack, with some bike combinations there is no way to make that happen. So if your bikes aren’t fitting one way, unload them and try bikes in a different order or a different direction. RACK CAPACITY Allen’s hanging racks come in 2, 3, 4, or 5 bike versions. Remember, hanging racks store bikes pretty close together. We recommend buying a rack with a higher bike capacity than you need. For example, if you have 3 bikes, buy a rack with a 4 bike capacity. This allows you to leave one of the cradles open when loading bikes, and makes configuring them all on the rack much easier. BIKE FIT & ADAPTORS This rack fits most bikes 20″ and larger. Bikes smaller than 20″ don’t have long enough frames to fit onto the arms of the rack. (Most racks can’t fit bikes smaller than 20”) Bikes with sloping top tubes and some 20” and 24” bikes won’t fit easily onto hanging racks without the use of an adaptor bar. The adaptor bar attaches to the headset and seat post of the bike, serving as a makeshift top tube so the bike can hang on the rack arms. HITCH INSTALLATION All of Allen’s hitch racks are compatible with cars that have a 2″ hitch receiver. The 2 & 3 bike capacity racks are also compatible with a 1.25″ receiver (they come with an adaptor to make it compatible with a 2″ receiver as well). To install the rack into the receiver, you simply slide the rack into the receiver and then turn the knob until any wobble is eliminated. REAR ACCESS Allen Hitch Bike Racks all have arms that fold down when not in use and masts that tilt away from the hatch. The hatch cannot be accessed when bikes are loaded on the rack. And now for some pretty helpful BONUS CONTENT! After loading and unloading a wide variety of bikes on the Allen Hanging rack, we discovered some pretty helpful hacks. BIKE ORDER: We’ve found that loading them big bike, small bike, big bike, small bike, is less likely to damage bikes and easier to puzzle together than loading biggest to smallest. You may also want to try loading two bikes next to each other in the same direction. ADAPTOR BAR? Some bikes with sloping top tubes don’t actually need a top tube adapter bar. You can place one carry arm through the space between the seat tube and the seat stays and the other carry arm under the top tube. Rotate the cradles as necessary, and secure! ADJUST THE SEAT HEIGHT: When using an adaptor bar, adjusting the seat height up or down can make it easier to load. LITTLE BIKES UPSIDE DOWN: The rack is certainly not designed for upside down bikes, so be prepared with a bungee cord or two for added stability! TAKE A PICTURE!: Once you’ve figured out the easiest way to configure your bikes, take a picture so you can save time the next time you load up your bikes!
