Jitters 1 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Good morning. Does anyone know the weight limits for this setup? Trying to figure if it is safe for a 1-UP bike rack with around 80lbs of bikes. Thanks Greg Greg USN Retired ARS AB7R Link to post Share on other sites
John E Davies 963 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I believe Oliver recommends 100 pounds max load on the recommended Lets Go Aero BikeWing 1.25" rack (which you can find that weight online).... if I am interpreting their data right. ... https://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/new-bike-hitch-capacity/ A call to Howenwald would clarify. I personally find the idea of hanging floppy cargo off that very small receiver MORE than a little disconcerting. The back end of your Ollie is a pretty violent location when you hit a big bridge dip at 65 mph. I double strap everything in my rear rack so I don't lose cans and chocks en route.

Jitters 1 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks. This is for a 2" hitch, not 1 1/4. Should make a little difference. But now their cross piece looks to be twice as wide and the receiver part is clamped vice welded. Greg USN Retired ARS AB7R Link to post Share on other sites
DavidS 307 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I have the Oliver Rear Bumper Bike Rack holder with the 2-inch receiver. They put a sticker on there stating a 100 lb weight limit. 1 David Stillman, Salt Lake City, Utah 2016 Oliver Elite II Hull 164 | 2017 Audi Q7 tow vehicle.

Jitters 1 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks David! Guess I will see how much a custom one will cost. Greg USN Retired ARS AB7R Link to post Share on other sites
