“Jack from A1 Roof Racks was just great. The Rockymounts Backstage Swing-Away Rear Mounted Bike Rack are high quality. If you want the best then your on the right track.”
“Easy to setup. Not used it yet but seems pretty strong. Not overly compatible with the X-Country LED Licence Plate Holder - no obvious mount points... Drilled 2x holes to mount it permanently.”
“Very happy with this purchase strong sturdy and easy to swing giving full access to the back doors on our van.
Feel confident with this bike rack and would recommend”
“Bought the rockmounts back stage for the back of the van to carry 2 electric bikes.
Just back from viewing lake eyre along the Oodnadatta track. The system is robust.
Dug up some dirt reversing, but had the plastic handle horizontal and out of the way. Bit of a heft to get the bikes on.
The plastic notched front bar and back strap offer no purchase or tension and unknown longevity but are doing the job for now. Both wheels are cupped forward as the bar is shorter than expected which is unsettling. Have a few rubber straps for reassurance, but no obvious attachment points.
Bikes rock fore and aft a bit so made a pad of aluminium sheet over foam taped to van rear window where the handlebar strikes.”
“Absolutly love the way it swings to the side allowing complete access to the rear of my ute, appears to be well made & a lot of thought has gone into it. The only downside is the weight, very awkward to move around once lifted off the towbar. I managed to overcome the problem by mounting a wheel on one end, (it cost me $4 in Bunnings) & wheel it like a wheelbarrow.
It would be a good idea if it came with a wheel from manufacture.”
“Just purchased this to carry out e-bikes on the back of our Toyota Coaster. Fantastic - as we have barn doors we needed something to swing right out of the way for complete access. this fits the bill perfectly and watching them, through rear camera, on our trip last week they did not move an inch or wobble around.
Arrived quickly after purchase
Extremely happy with purchase”
