Any of you have a suggestion as to a bike rack you use that works great? We can't use the hitch type as our boat is already using the hitch. We would be bringing 3 bikes along. Thanks!
All you need do is follow someone with hanging bikes and you should know. The spring action weakens the metal with time and eventually it will break from fatigue. I had the hanging type and ruined two bikes. Mine was not an isolated incident as many on here have posted similar problems. Will they all fail? No. But why take the unneeded risk. JMO and that is what the op asked for.
