 Allen 3 bike carrier July 2, 2006
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have a 2003 CR-V and this carrier works great. I initially thought I would have some problems with the lower anchors but managed to find two places to hook them. I put two adult bikes and a kids bike on it and they stayed secure for a 30 minute trip with highway speeds. The carrier itself takes less than five minutes to install and folds up to fit in a closet when not in use.

This Allen Bike Carrier fit perfectly on my CRV Honda SUV and I have carried my 2 bikes so easily from place to place. They fit on snug, and it is very simple to fasten them on the carrier. For the great price of the carrier and the simplicity of putting the bikes on IT IS A FABULOUS BIKE CARRIER.
Great product and great value. August 4, 2006

As the previous reviewers have said, this is a great product. I have a Jeep Liberty that we take camping 2 or 3 times a year. Until now we had not been able to take our bikes along, because none of the generic "fits most cars/SUVs" bike racks would fit my car. This spare tire rack is just what we needed. For us, the price is a good value, because our only alternative was to drive 2 cars (one for the bikes), and with the price of gas... well, you know.
spare tire bike rack November 3, 2006

Great bike rack! It was easy to set up and to put on the spare tire of my Honda CR-V, even with the offset location. The bikes fit perfectly and I did not even have to take off front wheels with the offset tire! I did use a couple of extra bungies to provide additional security, but what a piece of cake!

I searched all over the internet to find the perfect bike mount for my Jeep. I wanted a light, easy to use bike mount that I can easily put away in the back of the Jeep when not in use. The allen bike rack met the criteria.
The only problem I had was the poor shipping for the rack but I am not rating the rack based on the shipping. When it shipped it was in its original packaging and when it arrived home the box was all beat up and it was open. No manual inside except the rack. I was not to sure if anything else came with it. I downloaded the manual from the web. According to the manual I had everything I needed to use the rack.
After learning to mount the rack on the spare tire you can easily put it on in less than 5 minutes. Once it is mounted it feels really strong. It seems like it may not hold much but it really can hold much. When not in use you can take it off faster than you can put it on.
What I really like about this rack that I did not like on others is:
-I can swing my gate open with the bikes in place
-Super easy to mount/unmount
-My hitch is free for other uses
-Price
-Very light weight
What I don't like:
-The part that rests on the wheel/rim is not covered with rubber or anything. A wrapped cotton towel took care of the problem but it does not look pretty
-Bikes can be a little too close and bang to each other if using 3 bikes. I have only 2 and use the first and third mount and I have not problems.
