Question about the 4-bike rack add-on:
I see a "warning label" in the pic of the receiver but can't quite read it- seems to be about what bumpers it can go on etc. And I know some bike racks carry similar warnings, usually relating to use on trailer bumpers. Question being, what sort of reinforcing (if any) did you have to do to the bumper in order to prevent the dread "load of bikes in the road" we sometimes read about here?
Hi Francesca!
The warning label just say : "not intended for towing a trailer, for bike rack installation only". :W
I don't put any reinforcement to the bumper yet, but it seem than many peoples are very concerned about this here. Nevertheless my father-in-law carry two heavy bikes without any reinforcement for over 2 years now without any problem. But I'll ask my friend who's a machinist-welder what he think about this setup for sure.
