No room for an extra wheel when traveling with the family

I have the superclamp and I like it. The rack locks to the receiver and a cable locks the bikes to the rack. Not a fat enough cable to leave unattended overnight outside mind you, be good enough to stop opportunity thieves while you're making a short term stop. The cable is long enough for me to weave through both wheels and the frame, with some left over. I can put the rack on or take it off in about 1 minute. It can be a little awkward wrenching the pin through the receiver, and I keep a dedicated ratchet in my trunk for this purpose. Super easy to get my bike on and off. I have never tried the 1up-usa which you'll get a lot of recommendations for, so I cant compare the two.

I love my 1UP after switching from a KUAT NV. It folds up on a shelf in the garage and it's so easy to take on and off that I only put it on when I'm carrying a bike. No more scratches on my rims and I completely srust it to hold securely.

Only downside is that there isn't an integrated lock. I have to loop a cable around it if I want to lock it.

Second this! My 1UP is set up as a single carrier (no add ons) and it is great. Lightweight, well built and easy to store. holds the bike securely while driving. I also use a cable lock if I'll be leaving it on the car. I get a lot of comments/compliments on the rack when I have it mounted.

1up user, love it.

 Does anybody know the difference from 1Up and the Quick Rack? They look similar.

Another very satisfied 1UP owner.

Third vote for the 1up rack. I have the 2 bike setup. Easy to put on/take off, takes literally less than 2 minutes on/off. Nothing touches the bike frame. Stores easily in garage. Also when open with 2 bikes on, it does not protrude anywhere near as much as a Kuat or thule rack. Also, it's easy to stagger two bikes so they don't touch each other by adjusting the arms that come down on the tires.

The one thing I did add was the EZ-pull accessory https://www.1up-usa.com/product/ez-pull/, which makes it super easy to tilt up/down with one hand. Otherwise, when it's in the down position, you have to reach underneath to unlatch it to put it up.

1up, no question. We love ours. Super simple and super stout.

There's a zillion other places with info, but the short answer is that only one of them is actually available. Quick Rack has nothing in stock (and has never had stock) with no actual ship date.

The slightly less shorter answer is that Quick Rack is a company created by the original inventor of the rack sold by 1 Up USA. He split with them years ago and now that the patent is expired, he's making another version and selling it under a new company called Quick Rack. You are going to see many similar racks popping up soon. Saris showed off a prototype recently.

The long answers can be found towards the top of the MTBR forums.

Hi David,

Re the p5 speedbox, I designed it myself, 3D printed it and went through a few iterations before I got something that worked well. This is for a 56cm p5.

It holds 2 tubes, 2 co2 cartridges and tire irons.

I’ve printed one for someone else on this forum for $80.

I highly recommend the Thule T2 Pro XT

So far the best rack I have used.

Sits up high enough that it doesn't drag when pulling out of steep driveways. Holds the bikes securely and it makes putting bikes on it easy. The folding capability makes it incredibly easy use as well.

Worth a look in my opinion.

Get outside!

Another vote for the 1up USA.

What's really nice about this rack is if you get the single, plus the appropriate number of add ons, you can keep the single more or less permanently on most cars and still access your trunk or rear hatch / tailgate. It's super minimalist and just works beautifully. We've had ours for 8 and 9 years, respectively, and they still are working great, plus the singles have remained on our cars the entire time. No issues with weathering. That being said, it takes 10 seconds to remove, if you're just taking your time! Everything about it, is well thought out.

I can vouch for the superclamp. I really like mine, and it's not as uncommon so I picked it up cheap off craigslist

The Thule look alike a nice rack buy I believe it has a strap for the rear wheel.
I am pretty sure that 1up is pretty much the only and bit option for the disc issue.

I’ve got the 1-up single carrier for when it’s on my Honda with the 1 1/4” hitch. And I have a second tray and the 2” adaptor for when it’s on the back of my truck with my wife’s bike. Love the rack. Super simple to move between vehicles and easy to load and unload bikes.

I have a 1up, but wouldn't buy it a second time. I like a lot about it, but the tilt feature for getting the bike out of the way when opening the tailgate is the worst design possible. It is simply unusable. I had to tie a piece of clothesline to the release just so I can move it from level to the up position for saving space in parking lots etc. Tilting the bike to open the tailgate is near impossible. I have get on my knees to get to the release just to lower it. Getting it back up is damn near impossible. While I like the tray design and holding me hanism, I definitely would not buy one again.

I see your complaint, but I have never seen or personally needed to lower a tailgate with a bike on a rack still.

Since the bikes come off in 2 seconds, it would be a minor inconvenience at most. It’s not a feature I look for in a hitch rack.

The one thing I didn't like about the 1up was having to reach under when the rack is in down position. But when I was looking at their site, I saw that they have a handle you can add for $69, https://www.1up-usa.com/product/ez-pull/ I added that to my purchase when I bought the rack and it makes it so easy to open/close the rack with one hand. I think they should include it in the rack purchase, but it wasn't that expensive, so I didn't mind.

I areciate the suggestion. I don't think they should market the rack as tiltable without this attachment and believe it should be included in the cost, but at least there is a solution.
