Swagman Fat Bike Tire Wheel Adapter for XTC 2/XTC - 2 Tires

Was able to use our same carrier, the GTX, with new wheel hoops for fat tires.1756830

When installing the fat tire adapters I discovered that both the regular size loops have to be on the inside of the fat tire loops or you can not tighten the knobs (SEE ATTACHED PICTURE). This makes it impossible to properly adjust for my other bike on the inside. All they would have to do is space the fat tire loop 1 inch further away from the mounting bar. I can not believe this was not noticed and fixed when designed!461283

Kerry,Thank you for your review. After speaking with Swagman I have been informed in your situation you can switch the fat tire hoop to the inside position. That should give you a bit more clearance for the other hoop. It is not ideal to move the fat tire hoop to the inside but in this particular situation, it is a solution.

These are sturdy and fine if you are only carrying one bike on the rack. But as another reviewer noted there is a design flaw if you wish to mount two bikes. The clamp knob of the adjacent bike tray runs into the tubing of the fat bike tray if you try and center the bikes on the back of the car. The bikes have to be staggered quite a bit in order to be able to tighten the affected knob. This pushes the bikes further out the side of the car. If you drive a large car it's probably not a problem, but if you drive a smaller one you may not like the position this puts the bikes in.494500

The tire racks fit my Fat Bike tires perfectly on my Swagman Bike Rack. Highly recommend them if you have a Fat Bike.269817

Worked very well for our e-bike. With two bikes on rack, had to lower air in tires on one bike.1717917

I'd been using my swagman fat tire wheel adapter for months of course I reinforced my bike rack. I just loved it. I fully recommend it.1666491

After minor modifications.( installation of the adapters were too tight.) Woork fine1709882

The bike rack is incredibly easy to put together. It was easy to install. I purchased the big tire accessory and it works perfectly for our fat tire sikk beach cruiser bikes. It folds up and stores easily. Great purchase. Also shipping was timely and without a problem.783695

Exactly what we needed. Thank you! 1738878

Very happy with my purchase, its just what I needed to carry my Fat Tire ebike on my Swagman bicycle. Rack... Thanks, good to know I can get parts when needed...Jvc1561666

Although I installed the racks on a performance transit model bike rack it worked good. I did have to file down the inner rubber then use grease to get it to fit right. As for the bike with 4.0 tires it fit Great.557310

Worked good after major dremel work has to be done though. The plastic does not slide over the bars it is too thick.

I had to modify these to fit my Sportrack, because Sportrack does not offer wheel trays for fat tires. I had read a previous review stating that someone had already done this, so I took the chance. These have worked perfectly ever since. I did not have to damage the tray in any way and can still slide them to adjust them as needed. They still tighten properly, etc. I am very happy with this product.1137276

The parts were back ordered for almost a year which ended up not being much of a problem for me. When the parts arrived I was able to use them immediately to transport my fat tire bike. Parts worked well. Thanks1502771

Great product quality. Did not fit on my existing rack with the plastic inserts and without the inserts they are hard to tighten. This is not the fault of the product at all as my rack is a different brand...just something to be aware of. I use them anyway with my fat bike and regular 29er (2.35) and have had no issues. As always, e-trailer folks are easy to work with and shipping is fast.286912

Had the Swagmann bike carrier. Got rid of our mountain bikes and got fat bikes, the tires wouldn't fit. E trailer had the replacement tire loops for fat bikes. Got them to us fast, everyone there was great. They are the best!264107

Product is working great !

eTrailer and Emily went above and beyond to update me on my backordered Swagman bike trailer parts. She did as promised, wrote me to tell me the status of my order several times, and followed up to make sure the complete order arrived in good shape.
I will definitely purchase from eTrailer in the future, and encourage Emily's manager to reward her for extraordinary customer service!
Thank you. 335538

Love it! Works great.

Exactly what I needed. I've been using the same Swagman bike carrier for almost 6 years now (well over 5,000 miles with it) and needed to start carrying my new fat bike. I used it a couple of times with the standard hoops, but didn't feel confident about how the bike was sitting. When I saw these adapters, I knew I needed them.

Unfortunately, no one had them in stock back in October when I wanted to order. Thankfully, the guys at etrailer.com were great and kept me informed of stock availability and notified me immediately when they were available. A few days later they arrived at my door and were mounted to my Swagman.

The larger hoops hold my fat tire bike perfectly. The addition of the rubber straps also helps (something that isn't on my original hoops) to secure the bike. I'm now confident that I can load my fat bike with my 29'r on the rack and head to the mountains without losing either!333956

Amazing how secure this makes my fat tire eBike on/in its Swagman XTC2 hitch rack. With the old standard loops, I had to use lots of straps and bungees to (almost) secure it. Not so now with these loops and their effective rubber securing straps. Lots easier to load as well because the upturned loop end prevents it accidentally rolling of the end when loading. Love it!574373

Easy to install and works perfect. My tires are 26"x4" and there's plenty of room for a 5" tire. Now I can drive down the hi way without the bike shifting around. I also don't need excessive bungee cords to hold the wheels. I am a bit concerned by the weight limit. The sticker says 35lb bike max. My steel fat bike weighs about 38lbs. I'll keep a close eye on it in the meantime.241108

Everything went together as planned thanks so much for the follow up in the thorough service1016763

Got these to go on my Swagman 4 bike rack to haul my new Fatboy. Carries the bike (4.6 inch tires) perfectly! Very solid and fits the rack fine. Easy installation. Excellent purchasing and delivery experience.474479

After a year of use, I am very happy with the product. A friend of mine bought the same rack, and he is very happy too. I since upgraded the rack with the larger wheel wells to hold our fat bikes (4" wide tires), and it is working well.
One note is that the finish and hardware do not hold up well in the weather. I suggest that you regularly coat the hardware with a corrosion inhibitor, and coat the painted metal with wax or polymer sealant. If you can store it out of the sun and rain, do so.922938

I went to that link but I did not see where to add comments. I love the bike rack. It works out perfect on my 2015 Toyota Prius. The main thing I like about it is that it is so simplistic. I recently upgraded different tire mounts so now I can use it for my FAT bike. 437124

These worked perfectly with my existing Swagman bike carrier to carry my fat tire bike. Actually nicer than what came with the carrier originally! Just put them back on the carrier for winter, which is the only time I ride my fatty. Easy peasy switch!596006
