I have the 182 double cage if i get the 183 add on how does it connect exactly, will they be able to go into it? I cannot see how they will get from one to the other.

Exactly how the 182 goes together. The top piece that covers the top cage comes off and the 183 goes on top of the 182 then the cap goes back on the 183. The 183 should also work on a 181 (single tier) making it EXACTLY like a 182
1430141
Yes they will .i have the 182 and bought the 183 the top of the 182 comes off and the 183 sits on top and the floor has a hole and a ladder so your animal can get up and down . My ferret loves the extra space
1430142
Yes they can go from one level to another. There is a cutout for them to go up and down. The same cutout that is in the second level of the two level unit
1430143
There are pegs on the bottom of the cage that attach the layers and the top cage comes with a ramp that allows the critter to get to the next level. My chinchillas love their cage with two levels!

I often load 4 adult bikes on mine and yes it is tight but by alternating the bikes you can get it done. As Michael said in his post it is important to NOT push in the second rack all the way until you load the 3rd bike. It's kind of a hassle BUT it works better that most of the hitch ones out there that hang the bikes from their frames. I modified my primary rack by placing a two inch tall pc of rectangular steel tubing btwn the "wing" mount and the main bar. This elevates the first two bikes a couple of inches which seems to help. I do have to remove the seat off of my bike and put it in the back of the vehicle as the handlebars from the previous bike always seem to get in the way.

Hi Keith, I got the locking carrier and thought it to be a great piece. I have a Ford escape hybrid, and unfortunately, while the carrier can adjust to fit larger width boards (my SUP is 31.5x 3 or 4 in thick), it must be placed INSIDE the runners on the cross bars. Each connection point from the carrier needs a few inches INSIDE the running boards, meaning less room for my board in the space in between. Unless you have cross bars without running bars that restrict the distance for separating them - I would def measure out the space (leaving about 3 inches on either side of the interior) where you will attach the carrier. Also - I had factory installed crossbars, which were kind of an oval shape. The carrier will fit to any share - but I did find that the bolts that came with the carrier once fully installed nearly touched the roof of my SUV... meaning scratches! I was so sad to see such a great carrier not work for me. Also - I believe it says you can stack boards - Iwoul;dnt recommend tho. Int he end I just got some Dakine board straps then used the crossbar pads that came with this system. Was simple, secure (but not locking), and did the trick without any extra problems.) My recommendation if you still try to get this carrier - measure it out with the space you have. For a 33 in. width - you'll need about 40 inches between running boards to place the kit AND your board. It comes with bolts... but you may want to look into getting after market bolts.

I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage. The cage is MUCH bigger than it looks in the picture and even knowing the dimensions i was surprised by the size when I put the first cage together!! The side doors are on a spring hinge and don't latch...both the Quakers and Conures figured that out real quick! I small key ring on each door solved that problem. I've also heard of people using twist ties onthe side doors. the birds have LOTS of room to spread their wings and play with toys. So my answer is yes, this cage is fine for Conures :-) I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage.

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

Model 181 is the bottom cage with shelf only.Model 182 is bottom cage/shelf and an add on unit.Model 183 is only an add on unit that you can add to models 181 or 182.Hope this helps :)

Look for Prevue Pet Products F070 Hampton Deluxe Divided Breeder Cage with Stand. F075 goes on top of it.

Kenebob, I listened to the same radio show and am having the same question as you, even called Mid-West Wire Co. and the person I spoke with said they make a cage for someone local but it's two pieces and he doubted it is this one. I've had John Bagnasco from GL email the company in a reply to my inquiry and have never gotten an answer. Very frustrating. Have you figured out an answer for yourself?

The obvious differences are the the design, engineering & materials also, I'm guessing, that the size of bottles it can hold too is different too. I was not aware of the original Topeak Cage model, but looks nice and has good reviews, so if your happy with that and adding an extra to your bike, I would stick with matching what you have. That said, I'm happy with look and functionality of the Cage 2.

Yep you can. I think these cages are great as add-ons on a more adequate cage :)

Do the latches secure tight or loose? The two latches on my cage secure nicely and do not open with any shaking or jumping. I would return it and request a replacement if they are not latching correctly.

I don't know but if you would like to replace the whole cage or need another one, ours is for sale. it was too big for the area we were going to put it in.

Don't know. I tried to email to company once about another cage I bought off them but got no response, you can always try though

I have a super pet critter trail cage the 2 level one and it fits perfectly fine on mine I have no problems with it and there is no gaps when it is hooked on the cage. It fits on tubes to just be careful were you place the dispenser to much food will make your tubes slant down a little. But other than that im glad I got this product:)

On the Guard Dog website it says nothing about it being mutually exclusive. I will be glad to check with Guard dog to be sure. Let me know if that is something you would be interested in.
