Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've switched to a tray-style hitch mount bicycle rack from a fork-mount roof rack because I have to deal with lots of parking decks and didn't like the wind noise and fuel economy hit. I'm very happy with this choice, but now there's no good locking mechanism built in to the rack.
I can easily loop this chain over the trailer hitch bar underneath my vehicle and use the large ring to take full advantage of the length. I then pass a high quality U-lock between the end of this chain, the rear wheel, and the frame of my bicycle. I feel very comfortable that a criminal would have to unbolt the trailer hitch or take parts off of my bike before easily walking off with it, which makes the rack much more useful.
This chain is quite heavy, but compared to similar products and even bulk security chain from industrial suppliers I think it is a reasonable price.
The protective cover is a good feature, but it tends to ride up on the chain so I'm tempted to use a zip-tie to hold it in place.
(Update 1/2011: I installed zip-ties on each end of the protective cover by poking them through the fabric before the end stitching to keep protective cover from sliding down the chain, after seeing another similar chain with this sort of solution and I think it is an improvement.)
Overall, an excellent product that makes riding easier!
