Very Good

Model Number: glideaway 2 deluxe 4 bike carrier kit
"Very Good Value. Traveled Upstate 150miles, on Thruway going 65mph, no issues and no rattles. After journey, one of the frame clamps had moved a little, and just re-tightened it. I had tightened one of the clamps a little to much, and stripped the treading. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement free of charge in 2 days. Great customer support. It was able to hold my mountain bike and my young son's Schwinn which had a non-conventional frame. I removed the bike's chain guard and it fit like a glove."

Sturdy, value, and more.

Pros: sturdy, value, easy to instal and use
Cons: none
"This bike rack is excellent. It was extremely easy to install and use. The glideaway feature to allow access to the back works great. I've searching for a bike rack for six months now. There's no other bike rack that comes with all the extras and features on the market."

Great idea, but...

Pros: sturdy, glideaway
Cons: straps, wobbling
"The powder coating had 2 1/2"x1/2" chips. I coulo live with that. It wobbles a lot. That's another thing that I could live with. BUT, one of the straps came undone the second time I used the rack. I was driving through the city, no rough roads, or anything like that.
It is sturdy. Glideaway feature is great, but straps mechanism design is poor. It seems like the product is unfinished and it will go back to Costco.
