Bike rack

[troy1089]

Not a trailer but,...recently bought and installed a hitch/towbar ... now done that I thought it would be a good addition to get a bike rack to place on it since we might take some day trips and sniff nature, they got several models/brands... i need one for 2 ATB's which brands/types are good? www.hitchanything.com/Hitch-Bike-Rack/
Thanks!

I have a Hidden Hitch that is very similar to the Curtis 4, and it has been great for the last several years. I've had several friends with multiple styles that have all worked well. I recommend you get one that best fits the bikes you intend to carry. The one that has the least interference with the cables and rubs the frames the least will be your best bet.

As a side note, the ones that fold down are nice if empty but don't work to great if they're loaded with bikes. I would personally go with a nice rack that allows you to carry the bikes upright if you can afford it.

The best are ones that hold the tires. If you ever get soemthing with rear suspension these are much easier.

I've had my Thule one for years and it's still holding up. Powdercoat is great, no rust, all the rubber/plastic parts are still in good shape, even the Thule sticker is still a-stickin. Folds down when not in use and folds again if i need to open the hatch. I'd recommend anything they make in a second.
