use a lock instead of the carabiner
Then you have both a theft deterrent and a safety chain. Probably less than 10 bucks to address most objections.

There’s an expression that comes to mind: “make it idiot-proof and they make a bigger idiot.”

They are prone to wobble loose. MTBR has a cars and racks forum - you can get a lifetime of info. My .02 - it’s cool looking but not that light. I have an old T2 and for the price it’s been good to me, it’s bulky and doesn’t fit fat bikes, but I can’t see dropping 900$ on a 4 bike 1UP - the newer 1Up copycat versions are looking good.

That's exactly what I personally consider it - a non-issue. No more so than riding a bike with no lawyer tabs and quick-release skewers that are relying on that clamping force to keep your wheel in place. Used properly, not an issue at all.

1up
I have had a 1UP two bike rack for over two years now.
2" receiver on my Tacoma mated to the 2" rack leaves a very solid system. I've never used anything additional to secure it to the truck. The rack has been used on many water-rutted, pothole filled dirt roads with approximately 70 lbs of bikes on the back without any indication of coming loose. When shuttling we don't always drive responsibly. If leaving for extended periods I usually throw a cable lock through the hitch but there is space for a padlock to obstruct the safety allen-bolt head. I love this rack, overbuilt and slightly over priced but it will be the last bike rack I buy. 1UP offers every piece as a replacement part which I appreciate. Also a big fan of how it fits 26-29" wheels (I've tried with tires up to 3") without adjustment. |
