Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)BE CAREFUL if you decide to purchase this Yakima hold-up rack. The theory is great; having the bike secured by the tires instead of your frame, especially your brand new $3,500+ carbon frame. I have had this bike rack for four weeks. Used it for the third time today. The strap holding the rear tire broke, while I was driving 70 mph down the North Texas Tollway. Didn't notice the bike was missing, until I arrived at my destination. Not knowing when the strap broke and when the bike fell off, I retraced my 30 minute driving route. The bike fell off 5 minutes from my destination, according to reports from the NTTA (someone reported the bike in the middle of the lanes). When the police came to check, four minutes after the report, no bike. Long story short. I am out a brand new Specialized Roubaix Expert. Someone stopped on the NTTA and picked up the bike, or whatever was left of it. I feel sick. So I am prepared for a long, arduous fight with Yakima on this one. So if you buy the rack, fine. Just BE CAREFUL and anchor the bike with additional straps, bungee cords or whatever you have, in case your rear wheel strap breaks (they're plastic). I don't and you really don't want my experience happening to you.

If your definition of pumping iron doesn't extend to the 'clean-and-jerk-the-bike-onto-car' move, invest in the Yakima Hold up Bike Rack for fast, easy, low-effort loading of one or two bicycles. The Hold Up comes with the LockUp to secure the bikes to your rack when you hit the diner to fuel up on hash browns and bacon before a day on the trails. Yakima thoughtfully included an integrated bottle opener so you can pop a cold one after the ride.Product Features
