no, lol. You are at the completely wrong forum. Check the cycling forums. pinkbike dot com or many others Im sure...
If you want a truly great bike rack then look at your local bicycle shops. The people who ride bikes all the time will know what a good rack is versus the crappy one you found on an RV search.
Huge quality difference and huge performance difference from a walmark/rv store rack to a bike shop quality one.
Odd post. I've been an avid cyclist for 30 years and have worked at a bikes shops during that time. I've raced etc. and I own custom bikes from boutique builders. As far as I can tell the advice here so far has been pretty solid and perfectly in line with what the OP asked. Not sure where this is coming from. Are you suggesting that folks on an RV forum have no idea what they are talking about for a bike rack? Sounds a little elitist and condescending. Truth be told, a lot of the MTB set sling their bikes over a tailgate - no rack needed.
You also need to take into context that it might be pretty foolish for someone to pay for a rack that exponentially eclipses the cost of the bikes they are carrying.
