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 Curt Receiver Hitch - 3675+ Reviews on Curt Receiver Hitches + Free Shipping & Video Install Guides - CURT Class I, II, III, IV & V Colored Hitches and 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 Who makes the best hitch rack? | Erik's Bike and Board Blog 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?
