Hello,
I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder 2008 model and I would like to install a bike rack. So I plan to buy and install a Class 1 1.25" hitch like this one http://www.autoanything.com/towing/73A3874A0A0.aspxand one of my friends has a used 1.25" bike rack that I should be able to attach into this hitch. I am wondering would a 1.25" hitch be enough for carrying one or two bikes?Am I missing anything else? I see posts like this http://blog.eriksbikeshop.com/2013/06/2 ... itch-rack/ talking about best bike racks etc. Should I go for a more expensive bike rack. I don't see any huge advantages of these bike racks as long as the bike rack my friend is giving doesn't drop the bike or bang it against the car?
