Review of the Swagman 4 Bike Folding Wheel Mount Rack
Today we are going to show you part number S64665 from Swagman, their four bike wheel mount carrier that is also folding. We will cover some of the nice points about this bicycle rack. First we will cover the wheel mounts themselves. They are pretty neat. What is nice about these is that they are fully adjustable on the rack itself. You just loosen this knob and you can adjust up to any size bike. Also the wheel mounts have these Velcro straps that go around and keeps the wheel tide to the rack just in case something comes loose. The next feature is, what is nice about this post here, it actually can be folded down and out of the way when you are storing it. It is pretty simple. You just pull this pin, lay it down and go ahead and re-install the pin. That way when it is in its fold up position it will not rattle around. We will go on and move on to the top of this post here to the hooks. This is really nice. First off they are ratcheting style, so you do not have to worry about tightening or loosening them every time, you can just push them into place and they will stay locked. The hooks themselves have heavy padding on them so they will not scratch your bike frames or anything like that. We will go ahead and install the bike rack. It slides into a two inch receiver only.
What is also nice about the shank here is it has a built in anti-rattle device. Basically it is a threaded bolt that goes in and you can put a safety pin on the other side. Tighten this down and it basically makes the bicycle rack one with the hitch. This uses a 15/16 socket or wrench to tighten it down. Then you can install your safety pin and clip on the other side. We will go ahead and demonstrate the folding ability of this rack. It is pretty neat. We will have to take the two posts and fold them down flat, then we can fold the rack up against the truck. Next, to fold it up, we have to pull this pin out, pull this clip, and you just lift it up and re-install the pin. To install some bikes, first off we need to loosen the posts so we can put them into the up position. Then it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and just take off these cradles. Next we need to take off our straps and get them ready. Now, you also have to make adjustments to the wheel holders too just in case because all bikes are a little bit different. You go ahead and loosen it, make sure it fits securely inside and snug it back down. Then bring up your post and then do not forget to put your pin back in and hold everything stable. Once you have everything stable, especially on the front suspension bikes, you can push down on it a little bit to make sure you have plenty of tension on it. Now you can put your wheel straps on and repeat for the back side too. We will do the same thing for the next bike, making adjustments as we need. We will go ahead and load our the third and fourth bikes up just like the first. There you have it for part number S64665, from Swagman, the four bike wheel mount carrier that is also tilting.
