Allen Sports Deluxe 2-Bike Spare Tire Rack , Black

Nearly cried trying to put it together but it works VERY well.

Very easy to set up and secure. I am not sure about the other reviews that have so much trouble securing it.. Make sure the straps are tight and be sure you check them before you pull away.. I have a 33” spare tire and it’s extremely secure.. I would recommend and extra strap to secure the Bike for a back up ..

UPDATE --- Jan 2023----SO...once i got on the road with this for longer driver, and it started raining, and I tried to use my rear windshield wiper, realized that this rack doesn't leave room for the wiper to move. So, even though it fits the tire and carries the bikes, it's not something I can use if it starts to rain. And if I have to remove the rack on/off only for when i have the bikes (not leave the rack on the vehicle all the time), then it's a pain because you have to deal with the 2 metal bars that lock into the metal bars which need to be put in back and forth...too much. Need a simpler solution. So i'm back shopping for a new rack.--------------This bike rack is built for Wrangler. But works great for Land Rover Defender with rear spare tire, even with the case on top of the tire as you can see in the pics. I bought extra bike securing straps so i can tie the wheels so they don’t move and a longer strap to tie the rack to spare tire tighter just for extra security. It’s also easy to take off and doesn’t get in the way if you open the door to reach the back of the car. Better solution then installing a trailer hitch and then a rack.

Twenty minutes to put together and mount on spare. I hide the extra strap in the back and tied to the top of the mount. If you run the strap through the rim you’ll have plenty of slack. It’s secure and looks good.

Purchased this on 8-13-18. Very Nice, solidly built two bike rack holds up to 70lbs. The description is not clear; however; This bike rack (Model 302DN) is only made for the 1994-2018 Jeep Wranglers (JK), (not the 2018 JL as clearly stated), 2002-2009 Jeep Liberty's and 1997-2006 Honda CRV's which is on the back of the retail packaging. The Rack is very well built and easy assembly (using only a 7/16 driver, socket or wrench). It is highly recommend that you take your time inserting the set-up pins. They will scratch the powder coat badly (as seen in one of my pics) AND they can pinch your fingers. I recommend hold the rack against your chest firmly to insert. I did the other side this way and not scratch. It's a great rack for the price!! Very well built and will works well. I will probably use some bungy cords and a lashing strap just to be safe, which I have done before in the past. Overkill is better than dropping your expensive bikes at 60mph. I hope this review is helpful for future buyers.

This looked to be exactly what I needed but a couple issues. Upon assembly the instructions say don't mount on an RV spare tire. I doesn't say this anywhere on the Amazon page and it doesn't say why you cannot mount on an RV spare tire.. There really is no difference between an RV spare and car/SUV spare so I proceed with caution. 2nd issue is my bike is a little heavier on the rear than the front and the rack wants to slip to the right side and possible come off the spare tire. I will have to secure further with rope to keep the bike from slipping to the left or right. Not ideal but seems like it should work.

Great value for money and for my car perfectly. I never had to worry if it might slide or move.

I bought this bike rack and it held my bike fine for about a week. Then, while driving, the entire rack and bike suddenly fell off my car in the middle of the road. My brand new bike is now damaged. I'm very disappointed and would like a resolution.
