Perfect for Transporting Bikes in CRV May 26, 2009
By Penny Pincher We have a Honda CRV and needed a way to transport bikes. Since the spare tire is mounted on the back of the vehicle it is harder to find a bike rack for it. We don't have a hitch, so it would be very costly to get one installed and then pay for a rack. We bought two sets of the fork mounts and installed them on a 2X6 piece of scrap wood (51 cents at Home Depot) which fits perfectly inside the back of the CRV. Problem solved for not much fuss or money!

Works Great Jun 21, 2008
By Jaime R. Silva
"MTN Biker"
Ordered three to mount on two wood planks 4-feet long (2x12) and put in back of truck. Transporting three bikes is easy now. Planks offer a very stable mount for the bicycles. Placed two fork mounts on one plank and the third one in the center of the second plank. two bikes face forward and the other back.

Excellent mount for carrying bikes Feb 15, 2008
By Jaime Ritchie The mount works fine, it holds the bikes firmly. I installed them over a carrying cart and over 100 Kmh the bikes kept firmly attached to it.
I strongly recommend the product

Sturdy and Functional Jun 02, 2010
By Robert S. Maltin I bought two of these a year-and-a-half ago and they have worked out really well. I use my bikes all the time, mountain, hybrid, and road bike. They have done their job admirably, and continue to be top notch products. The paint has faded in the sun, but honestly I see that as a good sign. They don't look pretty anymore, but there isn't any rust on the bolts even though I leave them exposed to the elements all year. I frequently drive on the interstate at 75 mph with two bikes attached. At first I used tons of straps, but since then I have decided that they mostly aren't necessary as they are weighted down by a couple of cut up 2x4's. I much prefer these yolks to the hitch rack that my father-in-law has; loading and unloading is easier, your car still fits in the garage, and your bikes don't jostle each-other. Coupled with some wheel carriers, this is the way to go if you have a vehicle with some space, such as a Ford Ranger or bigger.
I like this product enough that I recently ordered another one to fit a third bike in the back of my truck.
Bottom Line: Don't wast your time and money on a rack, buy a couple of these and some scrap wood.

affordable alternative to expensive bike rack Jun 14, 2008
By John Zimmerlee
"Tinker John"
Make your own rack or just bolt this mount where you want your bike and clamp it down.
I used a piece of plywood, staggered two of these, and put in the back of a minivan. Both bikes are inside and stable.
This mount is superior to both Diamond brand models, and probably better than those from Hollywood and Pyramid. I like the heavy base and the position of the fork receiver centered over the base.
