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.

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.
