About Retrospec Lenox Car 5 Bicycle Carrier Hitch Mount
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
88% appreciated the high capacity
The bike rack's heavy construction allows for easy transportation of multiple bikes.
86% found the rack stable, but 14% experienced wobbling
I learned that tightening the hitch bolt makes the bike rack stable and minimizes movement.
The bicycle-car-rack wobbles and bounces when I hit a bump on the road. Other motorists keep a great distance from me while driving, indicating that it is not secure or stable.
Even after using the stabilizer, the rack still wobbles side to side while driving. It's annoying to hear, but it seems stable enough.

89% felt their bikes were secure, but 11% had concerns
I suggest adding a security lock as it can be easily stolen without one.
There is a security issue with the bike carrier as it can be lifted off the vehicle with a wrench even if it is pin locked. To negate this risk, I suggest using a cable/chain lock.
I don't want to bolt and unbolt each time I park the car because anyone can unscrew the bolt and steal the rack.
The cable lock is not secure and can be easily broken if not looked closely.
The rack only offers a belt for security which can easily become undone by thieves.
87% found the installation process straightforward, but 13% encountered difficulties
All the necessary bolts and wrenches are included in the package to assemble and install the bike carrier.
The installation was simple and I completed it in about 5 minutes.
I needed my husband's help to install it because it was awkward and unwieldy for one person to do, even though the installation technique is easy.
87% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
The rack is easy to assemble and I didn't even need the directions. All necessary wrenches were included in the product.
The rack is easy to install and stable in place.
I found the product easy to install and user friendly. I also appreciate the feature of arms folding up for convenient use without removal when not in use.
I initially thought that the bike carrier would be difficult to use and require someone's help. However, it turned out to be easy to use and I have used it more than expected.
The rubber straps are easy to use and seem thick enough to stand up to use.
88% liked the durable construction, but 12% found it flimsy
The product is tough and trustworthy with normal size bikes.
After several uses, one hole tore out of one of the rubber straps, but I adjusted it to use the next hole, so it didn't affect how securely it holds the bicycle.
With a hitch tightener, I experience no rattle, sway, or movement at all.
