[QUOTE="tima414, post: 145569, member: 1368"] Hi All, So I took the bike out on Saturday and had a blast! I purchased a hitch carrier for my SUV and tying the bike to it was a bit of a struggle being a newb. For some reason I got it on ok but when it came time to go home it was a disaster. I put the hooks on the bars and attached them to one of the rails below. They're ratchet straps which I don't love but whatever. The bike kept wanting to fall towards the back of the car as the hook on the outside kept slipping. No matter what I did worked and I finally drove home very slowly with the handle bar end resting against the rear window :doh: . Two of the straps jammed and I had to cut them when I got home.:finger: The long and short of it is do you guys who use these carriers have any tips? This carrier does not have a way to lock the wheels in place on the frame. [/QUOTE]
