Thanks for this video. Exactly what I was looking for. Short, sweet and packed with the info I needed. Appreciate y’all. If I’m ever in Miami, I know where I’m going for rack or hitch needs!
Great video! One thing, the way you locked your bike onto the rack makes it super easy to steal. You should wrap the cable through the frame and maybe one of the wheels too if possible. The way you did it makes it so the bike can be disassembled and removed. If you put it through the inside of the frame you'd have to cut the bike or the cable to steal it.
"Thank you so much for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And I really appreciate your advice regarding bike security. You're absolutely right, I'll definitely start locking it up differently to ensure better protection. Wrapping the cable through the frame and maybe a wheel sounds like a much more secure approach. Thanks again for looking out!"
Thank you for this video. I bought my rack used from a bike shop, which is much better for me. If it weren’t for your video I wouldn’t be able to figure out how to fold down or extend those arms that secure the bike down.
@latoya3696 Thanks for the compliment. This rack the Sherpa can come in 1-1/4" or 2". Also available in 3 different colors. Unfortunately it does not come for 3 bikes. If you want a Kuat for three bikes check this one out. Hope this helps. miamihitches.com/kuat-transfer-v2-3-bike-platform-rack-fits-2-inch-hitch-t223b.html
Hi, there are two models of the Sherpa 2.0. There is a 1.25 inch shank and a 2 inch shank. The 1.25 inch shank has a curve on it that brings the rack up about 4 inches. This is done as a 1.25 hitch is mostly used in sedans that have hitches that are much lower to the ground. There is an adapter piece (Part # D101) that allows a 1.25 inch shank to be expanded to two inch and can be used in both hitch sizes. The 2 inch rack is a straight shank as seen in the video. Most two inch receivers are usually at a good height for proper operation. hope this clarifies the difference. MH
If you would like to stick to Kuat, you can check out the Kuat NV 2.0 & Kuat NV Base 2.0. Which both have the option to add up to 2 bike add-on attachment
When you purchase your rack it comes packaged in a cardboard box with many pieces. We used this piece of cardboard to keep from scratching the rack while we demonstrate how to use it.

Not a good example of how to mount and secure the bike. The cable could elongate the way it was installed by sliding towards the steerer tube. Also, the arm latching on the front wheel should be against the fork for a tighter and more secure fit.
@@miamihitches Sorry, I didn't mean to be critical. The rest of the video was actually very good and well executed. Timing and pace was very well done. The way the cable was installed, it could be slipped over the handlebar and then under the wheel which means the bike would be easily taken. I doubt the cable is long enough but not sure. I am getting my rack in a few days and will check. Ideally the cable should be routed through the frame AND BOTH WHEELS. Wheels can be removed from the bike if just the frame is secured by the cable. Good wheels can run between $1000 and $4000.
