 "Broke the first time out!" 2010-01-29
By D. Waugh (MA)
We bought the same Bell Triple-Back from the sports "superstore" at the mall. Calling it a 3 bike bike rack is a joke for starters. 3 children's bikes were a real tight fit. And one of the velcro loop straps broke off just tying the bike down to the load bar. I had to use zip ties. Then it COLLAPSED under the weight of those 3 kid's bikes on the highway. The straps holding the rack to the car were secure, but the support arm just popped its pin and fell down. It went back to the store.

 "Bike Rack Review" 2008-10-14
By Chayil Wiedeman (chicago, IL)
This product works pretty well! I used it for a 6-hr trip with two large mountain bikes and as long as the straps were tight and correctly mounted in place, there were no problems. It is important to put the rack on correctly, there was a little confusion on how to mount it to my sedan trunk. It didn't give the best directions, but with a little trial and error, it worked out perfectly. It doesn't fit three bikes unless one or two of them are tiny road bikes or kids' bikes. All in all, it is reliable and very affordable!

I received this item and use it for my 200 Honda Accord. Is very sturdy ... and holds cycles well. Easy to Install. Only issue is bike mounting sockets move back an forth on the mounting rod - I can live with that. Over all I am very satisfied.

 "No problem installation!" 2009-12-10
By Linda J. Searcy (Elk Grove, CA)
First, I think the most important thing in purchasing a new rack for your bike is to VISIT A LOCAL BIKE SHOP and let someone show you which type you will need. That eliminates almost all of your battles when it finally arrives in the mail, all packaged up new! From there, it was easy street for me. I am a single woman and not necessarily mechanically inclined, but I was able to do it on my own in less than an hour. The instructions weren't very helpful, so I had to figure it out on my own. I did have to make a minor adjustment by replacing the bolt at the neck of my frame with another one (that I just happened to have in my toolbox). The total cost saved me $20 or more (with free shipping), it looks great on my pink Schwinn cruiser, and ordering was no-hassel. Love it!

This rack was easy to install, lightweight, and very handy to use. I bought this mainly to haul groceries with a foldable picnic cooler strapped to the rack with an elastic cargo net. Works great! The rack is very strong and stable, and for the price a very good value.

 "does job well" 2009-09-24
By Aaron C. Croteau (Portland, ME)
This does the job very well. Very sturdy. Adjustability is a good feature. I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 cause it does not look quite as sleek as another rack I've used, but close.

 "Great find if it fits your bike; limited adjustment makes that a gamble" 2009-09-06
By Chapman Flack (Lafayette, IN United States)
This inexpensive, well built rear rack is listed on Steven Scharf's rear rack page and has many features of the better racks found there: three-strut construction, long horizontal dogleg, welded and recessed reflector/taillight mount, even pegs for a frame pump (tips 232mm apart). It has a Pletscher-style mousetrap hold-down that is easily removed if you have no use for it.



Mounting flexibility is where it loses stars. The photo shows that this rack's seatstay braces are made from round tube, just as in the better racks on Scharf's list. But on those other racks, the round-tube braces mount in clamps that give four-way adjustment: reach, drop, width, and seatstay angle. On this rack, they don't--a point that Scharf missed when he reviewed the rack from a photo.



On this rack, the braces are just flattened and drilled at both ends, and can bolt to the rack in your choice of 5 positions fore-and-aft, which gives you some adjustment for reach and drop (but not independently), and nothing for width or stay angle.



The lower mounts at the dropouts are height-adjustable, but only in 3 fixed positions marked 24", 26", and 28", referring apparently to nominal tire diameter. The 2 inch diameter increments should make the height marks 1 inch apart, but they're really 3/4 inch apart. It doesn't make sense, so just pick what fits. :)



The lower mounts come straight vertically down. If you have, say, an aluminum frame with fat seatstays that end at skinny dropouts, this rack won't work and you will need a rack whose lower mounts come in at an angle from the rear. You could spread this rack and mount it with thick spacers, or fabricate new lower mounts, but you'd have to refigure the load capacity and, really, there are other racks that will work without mods.



This is a great rack at a great price if you have a steel frame with tapered seatstays and all the dimensions happen to match the available choices. If not, another rack may work better. These measurements should help you decide before you buy. They're all taken by me, by hand, don't sue me if they're not exact:



Vertical, dropout hole center to underside of platform: 348mm (24" position), 369mm (26" position), 389mm (28" position).



Horizontal, front of platform to projected dropout hole center: 194mm



Front of platform to seatstay brace hole centers: 12mm, 32mm, 47mm, 62mm, 77mm (yes, the first jump is bigger)



Seatstay brace length: 165mm (the braces are bent, but this is the straight-line length between hole centers).



Platform length overall, while we're at it: 375mm

 "Bike Rack Poor Quality Finish" 2009-10-11
By Glenn C. Martinet (new jersey)
Hollywood Racks B3 Baja 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack The rack itself has nice features that keep the bike/s firmly in place. It is easy to mount on my Kia sedona van. BUT the quality of the paint on this rack is shoddy at best. After I came home from it's first use I noticed the paint had peeled or flaked off the steel frame of the rack.



I'm not going to return it because of the inconvience of that process but will respray it with Rustoleum.



I'm very disappointed in the quality of the paint that protects this rack from the elements. My previous bike rack (Graber) is over 14yrs old and is just starting to show signs of wear. I use my bike rack all year long (at the New Jersey Shore) so it is exposed to all of the elements including the salt air.

 "Does not fit my car" 2009-04-16
By Mazdarati
Hollywood racks says it will fit my Mazda RX-8 but it doesn't. Talked to tech support and they couldn't help. I sold it on Craigslist for what I paid minus shipping. So I'm out $17 for shipping. I have other Hollywood racks that are great, but this just doesn't fit my car.

 "Holds bikes OK but beware of your car model and bike size!" 2008-05-27
By A.C. (Phoenix, AZ)
This rack does not seem to fit on the Nissan Xterra. The bike arm and upper support bar are one piece so when we tried to position the top bar above the rear windshield wiper the bike arm slanted down towards the ground. The rear windshield wiper on the Xterra does not allow you to position the bottom arm on the bumper with clearance for the wiper at the top. Maybe the rack isn't supposed to rest on the bumper?? Despite our bikes hanging at an angle towards the ground they did seem to stay in place pretty well after hassling with all of those squirrely rubber straps. My husband's bike has a smaller frame though which was a real headache to try and force onto the rack. Sadly we will have to return this rack.

 "Easy assembly and mount but not ideal for all model bicycles" 2006-06-14
By Laura Cain (biloxi, ms)
This is very sturdy. It came fully assembled in the box and it was easy to mount on my car. All it took was some adjusting of the straps. My ten speed fits well but my old Schwinn beach cruiser, which has an arched and curved frame, does not fit well. My sons bikes also didn't fit. The frames were too small and fat. This is more ideal for adult bikes with straight-angled frames.

 "Great rack but maybe not new as stated" 2009-12-21
By bike rider (San Rafael, Ca.)
The rack is great for bikes and fits my SUV. I purchased a new rack but it came with paint missing where the bike arms fold to different angles, as would happen from a lot of wear. The locking pins did not hold the bars because the bolts where very loose and the bikes fell the first time I drove with the rack. I would not trust this dealer for new items.

 "Easy and effective to use" 2009-08-21
By Stephen M. Charme (Cranford, NJ United States)
I just came back from a 500 mile trip on which I transported two bikes (a man and a woman's Cannondale hybrid) using this rack without any problems, even when driving through severe thunderstorms with high wind and driving rain.



The rack is well made, easy to install and remove on just about any trunk, has good padding to protect the trunk (no marks were left), and holds the bikes nice and secure with the included rubber straps (though on any bike rack I also always use a few bungee cords of my own). I bought a three bike rack even though I normally transport only two bikes because I like the extra room, and the larger rack was only about another twenty dollars. Therefore, I can't comment on using this for three bikes.



While driving I did not hear any "buzzing" or "vibrating" sound from the rack at all. Also, I secured all of the extra lengths of strap so that they did not flap around.



Before you decide to buy a trunk rack rather than install a hitch, keep some things in mind (I personally prefer a rack that attaches to a hitch, but on the particular car that I was taking on the trip, attaching a hitch was not an option):



1. While a trunk rack generally costs less than the cost of a hitch and a separate rack, once the trunk rack is installed you cannot easily access the contents of your trunk. That means if you go on a trip, you need to pack the trunk before you attach the rack and put on your bikes, and when you arrive at your destination, you need to remove your bikes and the rack to unpack your luggage. At the end of a long trip when I am using a rack with a hitch, I often leave my bikes on the rack until the next day and just deal with my luggage upon arrival. That is not an option with a trunk rack. Likewise, if you want to get something out of your trunk or put something in during a trip while the trunk rack and bikes are on, that is not an option.



2. Depending on the make and model of your car and how the trunk rack sits on the trunk, you have to be careful not to scratch the trunk with the bikes' pedals, and may need to wrap them with socks or some other protection. With a hitch, the bikes are nowhere near the trunk, so that is not an issue.



3. Installing and removing a trunk rack is fairly simple and requires no tools. Removing and installing a hitch rack requires more effort and usually requires a wrench, and sometimes a rubber mallet when the rack gets "stuck" in the hitch.



Bottom line: If you decide to go with a trunk rack, this product works very well.

 "Tough to fit 3-bikes, buzzes while driving fast" 2009-08-08
By Michael A. Behr (New York, NY United States)
I got this bike rack because it was mid range, though now I'm wishing I had sprung for the extra few $$$ for the Bones.



Let's start with the good: Installation is a breeze and it fits VERY solidly on the back of my car, and fits a wide range of cars including Buick Lesabre and Toyota Camry. I'm quite confident that when I put my bike on, it's going to be there when I get to wherever I'm going.



Okay, so now the downsides:



The first issue I have is with the straps that affix this to the car. They hold the rack securely, but when you take taut straps and run air over them at 40+ mph, they start to buzz... LOUDLY. Maybe SUVs won't have this issue, but my sedans do.



Second issue is the whole question of 3 bikes. I put two bikes on, and really didn't see how I would fit a third on.



Lastly, there's putting a woman's bike on. It looks like women's bikes require the purchase of a Bike Beam accessory to create a virtual top tube. I got this only by looking at the website; the instructions in the box weren't clear about this. Such an accessory might be needed for every bike rack out there, but for the price, they could have included at least one! Or at least made it clearer at the time of purchase so that I could have purchased both at the same time.

 "Nice rack!" 2009-08-08
By Justin J. Waters (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
I used to have a Bell 2-bike rack that I purchased from Wal-mart, and that was a big mistake. I was always afraid to have more than one bike on at a time, since they tended to bang together as I'd drive. I'm also rather positive that it was the cause of a bent chain ring on one of the bikes. It also held the bikes much too close to the car, and lead to quite a few scratches on my trunk and bumper cover.



This bike rack has none of those problems. It is solid as a rock on the trunk of my car, and it provides plenty of clearance from the car itself. The bikes are held apart by a nice amount of room, and I have no problem putting a mountain, hybrid, and road bike on the same rack. My only complaints are that installation takes a while (which is no different from any other trunk rack that I've used), and it's a little difficult to get some bikes on. It can be tough to get the bike frame around the stabilizer (the chunk of hard plastic that hangs below some of the rubber mounts). However once the bikes are on, it's smooth sailing.



Customer support is amazing as well. I had an incident the first time that I used the rack which involved one of the stabilizers breaking (my own fault), and when I called to order a new part, they sent me a new arm free of charge. It was at my door within a week.



I am extremely happy with my purchase. Although you may be tempted to buy a much cheaper rack, you'll certainly save money in the long run by purchasing this instead.

The Hollywood Bike rack F6 is well built, sturdy and easy to use.

It can be adjusted to fit either of my cars and carries 3 bikes easily.

Recently used it to carry two bikes to Florida. It stayed in place the whole trip with just minor adjustments to the bottom straps at gas stops.

Cleans up easily from the nasty road salt of the winter roads. It takes just minutes to attach bikes and you are off.

I like that it secures to the vehicle nicely and the bikes were very stable.But,I bought it for BMX bikes and the width is too wide.Making it very hard to get them on and off.For mountain bikes it would be good.But not for 20" BMX bikes.

 "A Perfect Fit" 2008-04-27
By Timothy D. Gammon (Danville, Virginia)
I needed a carrier that would fit a trunk lid with a fairly large rear spoiler. The Expedition fit perfectly.Plenty of clearance over the spoiler.The saddles are very nice and hold your bike securely. The carrier also holds your bike high enough so you don't have to worry about road clearance. Installation is easy and only takes about two minutes after you get the straps adjusted for your car. I think this is a well made product and highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a trunk mount carrier.And Amazon's price was the lowest that I could find and with free shipping too.

 "Works as advertised" 2010-01-02
By A. Grosz (Oklahoma)
Product worked very well and was fairly easy to mount. We got the 2 bike version but only mounted one bike and it rode very well, even though the car was very small. Due to our car geometry (Nissan Sentra) and large size of bike, we had to use the outer cradle to mount the bike as the inner cradle put the bike up against the trunk lid. However, we use ours only for one bike and it worked great. Made a 200 mile round trip with it and had no problems whatsoever.

 "Great bike rack at a good price" 2009-08-29
By C. Harrington (Michigan)
Transports our bikes perfectly. The bikes have not gotten marred and they do not sway at all. Held securely in place during our 500 mile trip. Not a single problem with this bike rack at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about getting a bike rack.

 "Not a very good quality rack." 2009-07-12
By Zachariah R. Hubbell (Santa Barbara, CA)
I purchased this rack from my local bike shop about a year and a half ago. I liked that it was adjustable (I have a Nissan Maxima with a spoiler, which it just barely clears), and that it was cheap. I used it for a while with just one bike on it, and had no problems... at first.



A few months ago, I had my bike and my girlfriend's on it to go to the Grand Canyon from Santa Barbara, CA, which is about a 7 hour drive. On the way there, the saddles of the rack began to shift a bit on the poles they are attached to. I thought nothing of it until the drive home, when the bike in the rear-most position began wobbling noticeably in my rear-view mirror. I pulled over, and found that the saddles were slipping down the poles, working their way toward the ends. I had to take the bikes off three times on the drive and wrestle the saddles back to their normal positions. On a recent 10-hour drive, I had to tie my bike's seat post to the vertical pole on the rack so it wouldn't do the same thing. I no longer trust the rack with more than one bike on it, especially since I came home from the Grand Canyon with fresh pedal scratches all over the back of my car.



Another thing is that the rubber straps became too stretched out and began popping off their attachments. Another problem is that the weight of two bikes caused the rack to make a big depression in my bumper, which luckily popped out again once the bikes came off. You also can't really open your trunk with a bike on the rack, because you have to slam it really hard to get it to latch again with the rack hitting the bumper.



To sum up, I really don't like this rack, and I wish I had a trailer hitch or roof racks so I could get a real bike rack. Hollywood sucks.

 "Works great on my 2008 Elantra" 2009-06-04
By Benjamin N. Dilts
Just a few minutes of fiddling got this mounted sturdily onto the trunk of my 2008 Elantra. It feels really secure, and my bike hardly jiggles at all, even at highway speeds. I can open my trunk with the rack attached, even with my bike on it!



The straps are much longer than I needed (to support bigger cars/SUVs), but I'm just going to cut them shorter.



Best trunk-mounted bike rack I've ever used (of course it can't compare with hitch-mounted ones).

 "Great Rack, Best for the Money!" 2009-05-15
By G. Johnson
I have used some of my friend's more expensive racks and really cannot see what makes them cost so much more. I use this rack on a 2000 Acura TL and it fits perfectly without leaving any dents or scratches. This rack is very sturdy, reliable, and setting it up for your car takes but a minute. The one thing about this rack is that I don't think it could hold two bikes. Not because it can't handle it, but because the second bike might be too close to your car if not on your car. That is just my observation. I have not had the need nor do I think I will have the need to use two bikes on it, but, if you do, then you might want to look around and see how it will fit on your car because two bikes would not fit on mine. Nonetheless, I give this rack five stars because it performs very well and covers my needs perfectly. It is just as sturdy and reliable as the higher priced racks so don't waste your money on anything else, this rack will do everything you need it to. I am very happy with it.
