Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
Arrived early. Haven't installed yet but bike rack looks sturdy enough for my Jeep.
view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.

Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
CHECK THE WEIGHT CAPACITY!! It is designed for ultra-lightweight bikes, although it does not state that on the box or in the product description. The capacity is 33 lbs per bike, whereas most adult bikes are 40+ lbs and children's bikes are around 30 lbs. We loaded this rack with two adult bikes and a child's bike (unaware of the unusually low weight capacity) and the bikes fell off the back of our jeep onto the highway! My husband had to pick them up off the interstate before anyone hit them, risking his own safety. I contacted the company, telling them what happened, and they advised that since one of our bikes was 42 lbs, they would not return the rack (which I had only purchased 2 weeks prior.) I am grateful my husband didn't get hurt, but felt compelled to let others know. The company really should note this on the box or consider re-designing the bike rack to hold bikes of typical weight.
The bike rack arrived quickly. It was missing a wrench. We read the directions but found a video that was very helpful to us in setting the rack in place.

Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier
Hi This is an Excellent Bike Rack, It came in no time, Nicely Plastic Wrapped incase of Rain, The Instructions were an Easy Read. I Installed it on my 2001 Honda CRV which was a Breeze, I do think that People Who are too week to lift a Tire shouldnt attempt this alone Though. When You install it you have one hand to hold the tire and one to Screw in your bolts. It does require Strength and Dexterity, and we who ride Bikes already Have that I would Think. I put My Trek Bike on the Rack it Fits Great ! , and Im Ready to tour the Countryside. Thanks etrailer.com You Guys Know your Stuff Alan J
Very easy to install, looks great on my jeep. Very strong materials used to make. Looks to last me several years of riding trips. Bonus is that I can also mount it on my pop up tent trailer when I go camping. Very satisfying. Price was decent too. Thank you for prompt delivery. Sincerely, Mr. Mendez

Installing the Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack on your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Today on our 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited we'll be doing a test-fit of the Yakima SpareRide 2 - Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack, part number Y02599. We've already got it loaded up on our Jeep just to give you a good idea of what it's going to look like. It secures our bike in three spots. We have two zip strips for our top two tube here and then one zip strip for our down tube. The one for our down tube is going to be our anti-sway. That's going to help prevent a lot of the sway and movement in the bike from side-to-side as well as prevent bike to vehicle contact and bike to bike contact. We'll go ahead and remove those and then take off our bike. They're really easy to use.

It's going to be part number TH963PRO. We're going to go over a couple of things real quick before we show you how this comes off and goes together. First thing we're going to go over is the distance that sticks out from the back of the vehicle when the cradle arms are extended and your bike is on it. It looks like it's going to be about 22 1/2 inches that extends off the back in the vehicle with the ground clearance of 26 1/2 inches.

Today on our 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Hollywood Racks SR2 2 bike carrier. This would be your carrier for your spare tire mount. It's going to be part #HRSR2. As you can see, we do have it mounted up here on our vehicle attached to the spare tire and we already have our bike mounted on here so you can see how it looks and fits. We're going to get a couple measurements out of the way first and that's going to be what is the distance with the cradle arms extended that extends off the end of the vehicle as well as the ground clearance from the bottom side. To answer that question it's going to be about 21-1/2" that it extends off the end of the vehicle.
