Looks ideal for ease of use and storing in the boot if you don't want to leave it on the car. Price seems good at less than £60 too. Other than the fact that it does not tilt, is there any reason not to get one?

I've got one for sale @ £35 posted.
Theyre very straight forward to use and lockable.
My favorite way of transporting the bike if I cant get it insude the car

I've had one a couple of years now and it does the job. Sturdier than some other cheap ones and really handy that you can basically just always have it in the car and have it mounted and ready to go in about 10secs.

Dead simple. Lives in the boot. On/off in ten seconds and holds a single bike well. Two is a bit more awkward.

It's a fantastic rack . When I saw one I assumed it would cost a fortune .
It doesn't ,happy days.

I have one too. Works fine and very convenient. Added advantage is it goes in the boot once bike removed for stealth parking in less pleasant / more remote locations.

Note though no easy way of securely locking bikes to it. I have a big Pendle slot in rack too with a permanent bracket that provides a convenient anchor point for a cable lock.
