Expensive but worth every penny is the 1 up. If you do a lot of riding just bite the bullet and get the 1 up.
Agree with One Up especially if you ever plan to off-road carrying a bike.
For you guys with 1 Up bike trays, how is the mount itself with respect to twisting, vibrating, flexing, wobbling, etc. in the receiver hitch?
I have two 1 Up bike trays that came with my Sprinter. I removed them because they mounted to outriggers almost 5' from the ground and I knew at my age that I would never be lifting mountain bikes or an E-bike over my head.
Now I am trying to figure out how to use at least one of my 1 Up trays by using a 10" hitch riser/extender with the 1 Up "2" Single Hitch Assembly (pictured below) so that the rack will clear my rear boxes.
However, 1 Up recommends against using a hitch riser/extender due to stress on the anti wobble device . Since the 1 Up representative sounded like he was reading a legal disclaimer rather than speaking from actual knowledge of what I am contemplating, I'd like to hear from those who might actually have tried it.
