Question:
I just had a question about weight limits for some hitch mount bike racks. May be silly but my concern is how close to the limit my bikes are, theyre 39 pounds each, if the rack can accommodate 45 pounds each, will that be okay? 6 pounds isnt that far from max weight is why Im worried. Thanks!

Hell Tyler,
Not silly at all, an I am glad you wrote in. The Malone Runway HM2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # MPG2149 has a weight capacity of 33 pounds per bike, so it will not work for you.
Instead you will want the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085 as it has a weight capacity of 45 pounds per bike.
What kind of bikes will you be using the rack for?

Okay cool thanks! I was also looking into the one of the Curt 2 racks, item #C18085 Same weight limit so id imagine it would also be just fine. I have a full suspension enduro bike I'll be carrying
