Hi @Josepinchero! Thanks for stopping by, and apologies for the delay in responding). You're right! I hadn't considered what the tilt must be like with multiple bikes. It does seem like a medium tilt option would be useful. Do you own one a QuikrStuff Mach2?
for me it was easier to get the folding started while it's still mounted to the car. Fold it a little then pull out and close the rest of the way after you remove the rack. Great rack but the locks at that price is a joke imo
Hi @jack91522, thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! That’s a great tip; start folding before complete the rack before completely removing it. It’s definitely a bit of a flaff otherwise. Agreed on the locks; the machined aluminum is nice, but they do feel overpriced - great for the convenience though. I still think I’m going to buy another lock/cable just to secure the bike in place; do you use anything?
@@FlyingScotsmanPNW I don’t use anything. Maybe I’ll get a simple cable as a deterrent but I’m not going to have it out of site. Too easy to lose 10k. Just removing a component can cost thousands. Sometimes the wheel doesn’t stay in the center of the chocks? It ends up to the side of them.
@jack91522, so true!! The only thing that’s going to stop a determined thief is something like a LiteLock X3 … everything else is just varying degrees of deterrence. What do you ride?
Great detailed video, thank you, I think the locks are easier to remove if they are installed from the other direction so you are not between the car and the bike. You are correct about the lock up high in the event of a tire deflation while driving to keep the bike from falling off. Another idea that is necessary with a 1-up is to push the rack into the tire before trying to release the red lever. Makes it easier to get the bike off
sure seems like it tilts down too far, would like there to be a medium tilt option. (w/ 2 or 3 bikes this can be really challenging to tilt down)
