Can I Bend the 3-Inch Cradles on My Swagman E-Spec in Order to Fit My 4-Inch E-Bike Tires?
Question:
I got the bike rack yesterday after months of waiting. The cradles work with 3inch tires max. I have 4inch Lectric e-bike tires. Im wondering if I can bend the cradles to fit. The up-to-3inch cradles I got are very stout and the replacement option S64679 is expensive. Any ideas?

Expert Reply:
I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, we do not recommend bending the 3-inch cradles on the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR because this can cause damage/warping to the cradles. With 4-inch tires, I strongly recommend purchasing the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Swagman G10 and E-Spec Bike Racks # S64679 to avoid serious damage to your current cradles.
