3 out of 5 stars Good for price, but........   March 17, 2008

I bought this bike rack to replace a worn-up Performance bike rack. It is sturdy, and well constructed. The bike cradles are easy to use. However, like most, it doesn't fit non-standard bikes. Overall this is a good unit for the money, BUT, it sways more than I'd like. So, I will have to purchase an anti-sway accessory and cross-bar adapters which makes the price less attractive.

This rack is pretty much just everthing I expected of of a bike rack as it's very rugged and easy to use. We have a mini van and a very nice feature is you can swing the rack down while it's loaded to open the tailgate and access the back. We did need to purchase one of the bike cross bars to be able to attach one of my sons bikes that was to thick to fit the rack. I would recamend buying the anti-sway bar. I didn't and ended up buying localy. It keeps to rack from swaying side to side when driving and is pretty much a matter of preference if it bothers you as I don't see any safety problem if you don't use one.

Swagman's claim on this rack is that it: br /"provides the ultimate in flexibility to accommodate a variety of bike frame designs" br /So I figured I'd spend a little extra $$ on the rack and avoid buying a bunch of crossbars. Unfortunately, the rotating cradles are so big that quite a few bikes (including my GT XCR) start having trouble fitting into them without quite a bit of twisting and pushing, on top of that pretty much render crossbars useless. br /It is a good rack but I'd recommend getting the non-rotating cradles if you really want more flexibility in the bikes it can accommodate.
