Would the Cradles of the Yakima Ridgeback Y02458 Move Around When Carrying Bikes
Published 05/26/2016 >
Question:
I was wondering on the Ridgeback if the cradles lock like they do on the Double Down. I am looking for a hanging hitch rack where the cradles are either stationary or can be locked to prevent the bikes from sliding down.

Expert Reply:
The cradles of the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack # Y02458 can be moved, but they are so tight to the arms of the rack that they would not move unless you were trying to reposition them. They would not move around otherwise as the fit is so tight.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
