Review of the Swagman 2 Bike Wheel Mount Rack
Today we are going to show you part number S64670 from Swagman. What we have here is their 2 bike bicycle rack, the wheel mount style. This rack has the capacity of carrying two bikes and also has the capacity to carry a wide variety of bike frames, regardless if the top tube is going level, straight, or going at a severe angle. The push button ratchet arm easily adjusts to carry your bike and virtually and frame. The bike hooks have a soft padding coating on them to ensure you will not do any unnecessary scratches to your bike. The wheel mounts themselves adjust very easily for different bicycle widths. And, the rack is powder coated to protect the rack itself from the elements. We will cover some of the features of this bicycle rack.
One of the best part about this rack is it can actually fit 2 inch receivers or 1-1/4 receivers. AS you can see on the end of the shank there, it has the bushing that actually bolts onto the side of the 1-1/4 shank which allows it to work in 2 inch receiver hitches. For our demonstration here we will go ahead and take off the bushing and install it in a regular class I receiver hitch. These parts can be stored for later use. Now we will go ahead and install it in our class I receiver hitch and show you how it works. Once you have the hitch pin hole lined up, we will go ahead and install our bolt. What it does is it actually threads into the bicycle rack itself and doubles as an anti sway device. And then, a hitch pin clip goes in on the other side just for an added bit of safety.
Next we will show you actually how the rack unfolds. We will show you how little space it takes up for storage. It is easy to do. Basically you just pull out the pins here, fold it up, and reinstall the pins in the pin holes right here. And as you can see, it folds up pretty thin. It does not take up too much space in storage. Lets go ahead and load up some bikes. It is pretty easy. Basically, the main thing that you want to do is go ahead and get this post out of the way. And also, it depends on what size bikes you have, it might be easier to go ahead and take off the hooks and then put the hooks back on when you are ready to put the bikes back on. Next what you want to do is go ahead and take the straps off, or just loosen them really.
And when you install your bikes you want to make sure that your bike wheels fit in the wells pretty easily. They are really adjustable, all you have to do is loosen the knob right here and slide them whichever way you need to. And go ahead and put the center post back up, put your pin in, and go ahead and install one of the hooks. You can see that it just ratchets it down and you just go ahead and just push it until it contacts, maybe just one or two clicks more if you can, and your bike is already secured. Once your bikes are in place we can go ahead and put our straps back on. And we will just go ahead and repeat for the second bike. There you have it, two bikes ready to go down the road. And there you have it for part number S64670 from Swagman, the two bike bicycle rack with the wheel mount style.
