Best Bike Rack For 5th Wheel Trailer For Carbon Frame Ebikes
Question:
On your website you say it is not recommended for carbon bikes. Why Not? Im shopping for a bike rack for a 5th wheel for two carbon bikes. Any recommendations?

Expert Reply:
So the reason you definitely don't want to use the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR with a carbon frame bike is because the E-Spec is a frame-mounted bike rack. Carbon frames can be damaged when a bike rack clamps onto its more pliable frame due to the natural vibration of a bike rack (which is exaggerated on the back of a 5th wheel). There is an option though, with the best rack being one from Lets Go Aero:
- Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack # LGA77FR
The V-Lectric # LGA77FR secures bikes by their wheels and not the frame, which is why it is the best option for carbon bikes likes yours. It is rated for use behind a 5th wheel trailer and has a 6 inch rise in the shank, which is important as it helps keep the rack up off the ground and safe from damage.
