Choosing Between Yakima Y02443-2 HoldUp and Hollywood Racks HR1400Z for Bikes w/ Fenders
Question:
I have 3 bikes. A BH EBike 27.5+, Trek XCalibler 8, Trek Fuel EX8. All my bikes have mud huggers on the front and rear tires. Im looking for a tray rack to carry them all on. Will the Yakima work with fenders? Or is the Hollywood the better option holding in the mid bars?

Expert Reply:
Wheel mount bike racks like the Yakima # Y02443-2 HoldUp don't work well with fenders. In order to securely hold the bike, the bike retaining hook needs to grasp the tires directly, right in front of the front wheel fork. A fender prevents direct contact with the tire, so I wouldn't recommend that type of rack for you.
The Hollywood Racks SportRider SE you'd looked at, part # HR1400Z would work perfectly for bikes weighing up to 50 lbs apiece. A hitch and cable lock is included. If you click the provided link, you can see a demonstration video featuring the # HR1400Z.
