Surco DBR400 Swing Away 4-Bike Rack for 2" Receiver Review

I own three other bike racks so I have some experience with both good and bad ones. I just installed this rack on our truck and camper because a swing away is the only thing that will work for this application. The swing away part of this rack works quite well and is easy to use. Even the threaded bolt that holds the two arns together seems to be strong enough and well designed so that cross threading should not be a problem when locking the swing away arm in place for transporting. However, the top plate, which holds the bikes in place is very hard to use. It has three tie down bolts that each have to be tightened and loosened a little bit at a time, individually, because they bind up if any one bolt gets to far ahead of the other two. Also, if you were too strip these bolt threads out the bike rack would be completly useless. I also found that my four bike rack is probably only going to be able to carry two road bikes at a time unless I remove the handlebars on the middle bike and yes I did reverse the way the bikes face on the rack. Because of the way the top plate works it is not possible to adjust the bikes up or down very much when they are on the rack to make them fit better. Also if you have bikes that have different widths of top tubes it may be hard to fit them on this rack due to the way the top plate works. Without thinking about it very much at all I decided that a better way to have the top plate work would be to have a hinge on one end and a clasp on the outer end that would fit over an eye plate which would also make it very easy to lock down the top plate with a padlock which would be much more theft proof than the lock that is provided.
