Pad Review by Wes at Shuttlerack Plus We Review the Shuttlerack Bike Rack
A local based bike rack company reviews our pads! Wes also goes into some installation detail if you're interested.
Shuttlerack is a 100% Canadian vertical hitch bike rack company based in Chilliwack and close to Vedder Mountain. I purchased the four bike version from Wes when he was starting his business because I was looking for an alternative to the https://northshoreracks.com/. The thing that stood out to me was the fact it didn't contact any part of the frame (something similar to the https://1up-usa.com/product/recon-rack but it was local and Canadian $$$'s).
The rack is simple, sturdy and well built. I can see it lasting a long time. When it came time to load bikes, I didn't have to explain it to my friends as it was quite intuitive and we got our bikes loaded and back up for the next lap which is really the point. When it came time to load the families bikes, I was able to get my daughter's 14" bike loaded with some extra long bungees to hold the bottom tire in place. This was before Shuttlerack had the extension but now you can secure it properly.
Pros
- Works for a variety of bike styles
-Sturdy
-Can carry 4 bikes without impacting on vehicle length severely
-Easy to load
Cons
-Heavy (but racks similar to this style all weigh similar)
