- EHEnoch H.Verified BuyerReviewing3 Bike RackI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars3 days agoThinking Forward
I took my new JB Rack on an 800 mile trip two days after I got it. I was a bit nervous because the rack seemed to shake quite a bit. 50 miles into my trip, one of the straps broke and my bike bounced out of the wheel basket, but fortunately got hung up on the tire tab. The strap wasn't put on overly tight. It matched the other two bikes on the rack. When I got home, I did some work to prevent the rack from shaking as much. Lastly, the wheel baskets seem overly large. I don't know what that's about. I'm getting ready to take a major mtb trip, so I thinking forward and trusting that the rack does its job.

Updated video instructions via YouTube much more helpful than PDF. Overall the rack is great. Little bit of sideways movement but unsure what to compare it to. Rack won’t fall off but may just ‘wobble’ slightly. Will put in additional bolts to strengthen. Service and PR team amazingly helpful when contacting.
Was this helpful?JB Racks3 days agoThanks for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear the updated video instructions were helpful and that you're enjoying the rack overall.
A slight wobble can be normal depending on the hitch fit, but we really appreciate you taking the extra step to reinforce it with additional bolts. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us keep improving.
And thank you for the kind words about our team, it truly means a lot to us! 😊
- RWRyker W.Verified BuyerReviewing4 Bike RackI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoGood rack but a few improvements needed
I like the rack but a few improvements would make it great.
The tabs that serve as stops for the rear tires are of thin metal that tend to bend. The straps used at the bottom are a bit jenky. A redesign to include straps as used in the upper tire hoops would be better I think.
My unit was delivered with the packaging completely destroyed and held together by packaging tape. I’m convinced that it was a used unit. There were parts missing as well.
Customer service is fantastic with my emails being answered promptly.
Don’t get me wrong the carrier is very good and we used it to carry 3 MTB’s from SSN Diego to Oregon and back with no issues. It’s a great rack for the price and I highly recommend.
Was this helpful?JB Racks3 days agoThank you so much for your detailed review! We're really glad to hear the rack performed well for your trip from San Diego to Oregon, that's exactly the kind of reliability we aim for!
We truly appreciate your feedback on the straps. Suggestions like yours are incredibly valuable and help guide our product improvements. We're always looking for ways to make the design stronger, and more user-friendly.
We're also sorry to hear about the condition of the packaging and the missing parts upon delivery, that's certainly not the experience we want for any of our customers. We're glad our team was able to assist you quickly, and we’re always here if you need anything else.
Thanks again for your support and recommendation.
- NGNathan G.Verified BuyerReviewing4 Bike RackI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoFeedback on rack
Gods communication with updates and a reasonable delivery time. After the rack was delivered, I noticed the tow hitch did not fit my vehicle (needed a rounded hitch, not square). I sent the query via email which was rectified in a reasonabletime frame & I received a rounded hitch as a replacement.
Downside: replacement hitch was not painted black to match the rest of the rack. No paper manual to follow as instructions on website require a little back & forth to complete build.
Maybe consider adding an option to order rounded or squared hitches prior to completing order?
Was this helpful?JB Racks1 month agoThank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear you were happy with our communication and delivery time. We appreciate your suggestions between round and square hitch and will sure to forward them to our team. As for the replacement hitch, you're right, it wasn’t painted black to match the rest of the rack, as it's made from galvanized steel to resist rust and corrosion. We'll look into how we can improve consistency in appearance moving forward.
We also understand the importance of having clear assembly instructions and will review how we can make the process more seamless. Thanks again for your honest and helpful review, it helps us improve and serve you better!

does wobble left to right a little more than i would of thought, but ive never had a bike rack before, so could be normal. got to remember to slow down on speed bumps .
