About Hollywood Racks
Hollywood Racks started in 1973 when they began making trunk racks in the back of our bike shop in Hollywood, CA. As a retailer, the company knew exactly what people needed: good quality products that were easy to use. They earned a great reputation fast and began selling racks to other dealers, and later to the bike companies. Today, Hollywood Racks builds racks the only way they know how: simple, strong, and secure.
Hollywood Racks are built with top-quality materials including high-strength steel, aircraft-quality fasteners, and thick powder coats to withstand the elements. Generous amounts of padding protect bikes and cars, and all of their products are fully covered with a limited warranty. The company's products continue to receive accolades from all the major outdoor sports magazines, and are in demand by everyone from recreational cycling families to weekend warriors to race teams on the road and off.
26 of 26 people found the following review helpful Hollywood Racks, By This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1000 Sport Rider 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) I have a PT Cruiser and own the 2-bike rack which is mounted on a trailer hitch. This rack is perfect for my car and my womens bike (no cross bar). It is the easiest bike rack I have ever used. The bikes are very sturdy in transport. While the fold down feature is very easy and convenient to use, I find that without the bikes on the car if I keep the inside knob off and stored in the car, I can still open the trunk without using the fold down feature. Great for both ladies and mens frames. Fantastic product. Highly recommend. Not too difficult to assemble either. 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful It does what its supposed to do-Mt. and Road bikes, Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1000 Sport Rider 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) We have both mountain and road bikes. We also have two vehicles, one with a 1.25" receiver and one with a 2" receiver. In the past, the vehicle with the 1.25" receiver, a PT Cruiser, didn't carry our full suspension mountain bikes without a lot of fuss. The pickup with a 2" receiver wasn't much better. With the Hollywood Rack we are able to easy load them on to either vehicle. We now have confidence that nothing will happen while in transport. The rack works equally well with our road bikes. The front wheel turning is now a thing of the past. The price seemed much better than a Yakima or Tule rack of similar style. Very happy with the rack. 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful Good rack, thumb screw vibrates loose, By Georgia Girl "GG" (South Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR1000 Sport Rider 2-Bike Platform Style Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver) (Sports) I found the Hollywood rack for 2 bikes to be more stable than any type of racks that you hang your bike on that I have tried. I had two ladies bikes on the rack and we didn't have to buy anything extra to secure them on the rack properly. You just ratchet down the security hooks and it has got them. The thumb screw that is used to make the rack even more stable is a good idea, but it does become loose from the slight vibration of the rack. Just to make sure that I didn't lose it, I checked it frequently when I stopped. If anyone has any ideas to keep this from happening, please share. The velcro straps are great! They put that extra security on the tires. Another pro is that I could put the center post down and load and unload my camping gear out of my SUV. Overall, I am very pleased with this rack. I drove approx. 1000 miles and the bikes stayed very secure and in place. We didn't get a scratch on them, as they never touched. |
