Bell offers a number of different ways to transport your bike by car. If you choose one of our easy-to-use strap racks, this video can walk you through the process of attaching it to your car and mounting your bike to the rack.
thank you-your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. We borrowed a rack from a friend for a trip and now we will use it safely. Have a great day!
Awsome instructions. I thought I would never figure it out with all those straps. I watched this video once and wham bam thank you mam it is on. Thank you.
I haven't strapped my bike onto my car in years. And my straps aren't labeled. But your video really helped me. I need to replace my rack at some point, but for now it works.
The Internet is a marvellous thing. Thanks for posting...had to pull my rack out of the garage when I got a new car, and switch it over...you made it easy!
Thanks for the video...it helps a lot. I've got the 2-bike rack which doesn't have side straps. I guess I really do need another cable for a secure hold.
i have a 2 bike rack. I'm a downhill rider, so my downhill bike (an NS Fuzz) is quite big, and therefore is all that fits on the rack. However, it fits perfectly! i mount the bike with one rack arm underneath the downtube, near the fork, and the other through the seatpost triangle.
This is so calming After a few tears and curse words and laying down. I googled how to instal and you came up . I don’t hate bike racks as much as I did before . But I still hate them
I'm the third guy here asking the same question. What's the purpose of the smaller (secondary) tube? I have a 2-bike rack and this have that piece too.
Mmmm are You rear lights fully visable? what if one wants to steal the Rack? cant there be some anti thieft device added to this unit? pain in the hole taking it off before going riding!!
Just bought a Bell 2-bike trunk rack and it only came with the upper & lower straps. There was no side straps and the book mentioned the side straps. I was wondering is it because I have the 2-bike rack instead of the 3-bike rack?
I bought the two bike rack but have a Kia Soul. Could please, please, please update and make a new video showing how to put it on a model like my car/hatchback? Thank you soo much for everything.
Granite Peak Roadmaster 26" bikes won't fit on these properly. The top bar is too short length-wise. The rear of the bike must be supported behind the saddle shaft.
+doreen steinhauser You would need a bike adaptor bar, which adds a top tube to the bike. They have one at Walmart: www.walmart.com/ip/Allen-Bicycle-Adaptor-Bar/10812004
If anyone follows these instructions, and doesn’t take additional steps, the bike will be in pieces after a short drive. There’s nothing keeping the bike from swinging forward and backward. Also, the word “locate” - used twice in this “instructional” video ( as in “all you want to do is locate the bicycle”) is incorrect. “Position “ or even “place” is the word he’s looking for. He’s conflating “locate” with “location”.
@homegrownbuddy - I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. It's virtually impossible to use this and NOT get a scratch on the trunk of your vehicle. It's useless Walmart garbage that is made of the most inferior products. I guess if you have a cheap bike and a cheap car, it's okay to use. But I would not recommend this product to anyone.
When you're white, this is not a problem at all. When you are ethnic, this becomes reason enough for an officer to pull you over and harass you about bullshyt. They "may" give you a ticket, but if you challenge the ticket in court it will be thrown out. They are hoping you just pay it and forget it. I was pulled over for having a wing on my car. The officer told me "he couldn't see my eyes through the back window because of the wing" I told him thats bullshit. He gave me the ticket... I went to court after I also RESEARCHED IT and told the prosecutor what I found and the ticket was immediately thrown out. And yes, I saw the same officer again on the highway and he pulled me over AGAIN and asked said "I recognize you... didn't I give you a ticket for that wing? I said "yes". he said whatever happened to that? I told him it was a BS ticket and I got it dismissed.
