I know it's tradition - you do a great job, but it's the fourth day of Advent. 28th Dec is fourth day of Christmas. Yours pedantically

Just noticed the first day has "changed" from your original version. Incognito Robin have something to do with that?

I do wish we had the 2" hitch standard in the UK. Clamping things on the tow ball has never felt like a nice solution!

@Woody25: However, even if you can attach this carrier to the csr, it would be illegal here without lights and car plate..

@Woody25: I can't imagine why that became the way. The ball clamp looks sketch.

@fruitsd79: I actually had a buddy weld up an 8-bike rack for my pickup. Shuttle monster. Bought 8 DIY hooks from Lolo Racks, and had him weld some scrap steel tubing into a frame.

Other than giving the bikes a fractionally better chance at survival when they fall off the rack when that lil bit of ruber perishes, why have the tires facing outward?
All I can see is getting more mud on my post ride clothes and a bigger pain in the arse trying to get that one bike in the middle out if that rider is getting dropped off 1st on the way home.

I made the mistake of buying a Hangover 4-the rubber straps do perish and the bikes can twist in crosswinds so I have to use mini tie down straps for added security.There are numerous better functioning designs out there. The drop down feature to access the tailgate/boot on my station wagon is the best feature.

Would this look funny on a Camry with only one bike? Asking for a friend.

Nope. Had one of these. Nearly lost a buds V10 off it on a cross wind on the highway. Returned immediately.

iammarkstewart (Dec 4, 2021 at 7:41)

I have seen these racks post similar incident. Crosswind is a thing, but so is UV/general degradation of the rubber holding straps. That's problematic when it's the only thing holding your bike on the hook.

kingbike2 (Dec 4, 2021 at 10:15)

@iammarkstewart: yeah, looks like plastic blocks with rubber straps which will deteriorate. The NSR rack is criticized for being crude but the solid metal fork prongs will never fail.

If I win can I exchange this for a Lolo rack?

Must be fun to have this loaded with 6 ebikes and drive down the Autobahn

kingbike2 (Dec 4, 2021 at 10:20)

Most 2 inch hitches for small suvs are only rated for 200 pound tongue weight. That setup has to be over 250. Throw on an ebike or two and the car or hitch will break.

Yakima is such trash, I cannot believe this thing is $1000 USD. I think I would rather take a steel Recon Rack, or Velocirax for less than this piece of garbage.

It’s so when you get re ended the tires give you a fighting chance.
