They last maybe 5-6 uses before they strip and the bike WILL come loose. I keep a bag of spare bolts in my glovebox just for the occasion of when it will happen. Also, the way the rack secures the arms with just a simple pin makes it really prone to rocking back and forth. The first drive will scare the poop out of you.
None of that is a problem with this rack. The only way to break this rack would be to use it as a ladder. Exceptional bang for the buck. Strength: After breaking 3, I've decided to stop using this piece of crap Perfomance puts-out. Even their own employee's question why they keep selling it.
Ive had this rack for almost five years now. It has stayed on the back of either my truck 2' or my wife's car 11/4' most of that time. While the rubber is a lil rough from the elements and it is slightly bent from hitting a tree while hunting, we still pile several thousand dollar bikes on it weekly. I always use a locking cable as a backup as I have had a few times a bike work lose from the clamp. We never use the wheel straps and on my truck I went to harbor freight and got a metal hitch adapter (11/4' to2') for $15 In my riding group we have four of these and evryone seems to love them.

Strength: - Quick and easy to install/remove unit (I put depth marks on adapter and bike rack) - Quick and easy to load bikes - Folds down in every direction for vehicle access. I have an Isuzu Rodeo with glass that goes up and a door that opens out. The vertical bar drops flat and I can get in my vehicle without removing the rack. - Durable enough to go mild 4x4ing in the East Grand Canyon/Indian Land area with bikes on back and not damage the vehicle or bikes. - Keeps bikes in rear view mirror, slip-streams behind vehicle. Great, easy, flexible, inexpensive rack that lets you access the rear of any vehicle, no matter how it opens up.
- The frame fits a 1¼' hitch receiver, and comes with an adapter sleeve (made of a hard rubber to eliminate any rattle) for 2' receivers. Bolted installation into the hitch receiver makes for a very solid attachment to the car. - Put the rack on the car (and taking it off) is very simple--about the same as putting a trailer hitch into the receiver.

The straps weren't too hard to work with when the rack was on the hitch- much more leverage. Once I arrived to my destination, I checked the rack and noticed it was loose where it attaches to the hitch. The bolt loosened a bit. It's a threaded bolt with a locking washer and I guess it worked itself out a bit- the pin is still attached so there was no worry of the hitch going for a ride on the highway, but just something to watch out for- good to check it once in a while. I am also keeping a rachet and 19mm socket in my trunk since you need that to attach/detach rack from hitch. I am very pleased with this rack- especially since it's so sturdy and inexpensive. Let me know if you have any questions.

I needed something that could go between 1 1/4' and 2' mounts. Looked at the Performance product, and realized it was the same item as other known name brands (probably all manufactured in the same off shore plant). Have used the rack on various cars and bikes, from my wife's touring bike to my kids 20' wheel bike. No problem with any. I would buy the 4-bike version if I needed to go up to that size (I currently have the 2 bike version).

You can buy the lock pin for the hitch if needed. I did not and simply run a bike lock cable through the safety chain loop on the hitch. Ive had this rack for almost five years now.
