Reviews for Quadratec Spare Wheel Mounting Bike Rack

Awesome. I can still open my tailgate with the bike in place, comes with a strap and a bracket to attach it to, which is a step up from other carriers, and does splendidly keeping the bike stationary. The locking mechanism works like a charm. This does "kinda" block the rear tire carrier brake light from being fully seen, but, as the rear tail lights perform the same function I have found it to be a nonissue. Super stoked on how my Jeep and Bike looks rolling down the road, folds up and out of the way when not used. Straps for securing are very easy to work with and hold the bike secure.

Man, this was the answer. I didn't want to add a receiver hitch to my '83 CJ7 for a bike rack. This let me add a very solid rack to the swing bar for my spare tire. I can simply remove the rack for daily driving in a minute and the only thing visibly left is the mounting bar that sticks straight out of the tire. Brilliant design, well built, perfect solution for my needs.

Exceptionally easy to install. It’s durable and efficient

Very easy installation. Product is well made . Hold bike well in cradles.

So far so good! Love the accessibility of the trunk with this bike rack.

Looks great, however a single center attach bolt holds all the weight of the bike rack and both bikes

Allows use of hitch for other things.

It looks like it is made from quality materials. I love that it folds flat when not in use. I do have some concerns that some ppl claim they can't fit 2 bikes... we will see

Nice rack and it comes with several different length mounting splines for different width spare tires, but unfortunately even the shortest spline is too long to mount snugly on my 2005 Honda CRV -- I had to shorten one of the splines (and drill new bolt holes in it) to mount the rack on the CRV spare tire. To be fair Quadratec doesn't claim to be compatible with the external spare tire CRV or RAV4, just Jeep models, but perhaps they should include a shorter spine to address that market as well (there are still a lot of those vehicles out there). The rack is perfect on the CRV.

I had this on my JK. I have since purchased a JL and wish someone would make a secure bike rack like this for the JL.
