Expert Answers about Bike Repair Stands


  • EliptiGO MSUB Bike Repair Stand Recommendation
  • For your application I recommend checking out the Feedback Sports Sprint Bike Work Stand # 301-16690. This is a fork mount stand that doesn't require the seat post like our other work stands do. The only thing you'll want to check is the distance from the front fork to the bottom bracket since the maximum distance for the Sprint stand is 790mm. If your EliptiGO MSUB falls within this range then you're good to go! Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Kuat Bike Rack Compatible With a Mountain Bike That Has a 47.5" Wheelbase
  • I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV22G for your mountain bike with a 47.5" wheelbase. While the Kuat Sherpa # SH22G will only allow for a wheelbase up to 47" , the NV 2.0 allows a wheelbase up to 50". Another great feature of the NV 2.0 is the built-in bike repair stand. This will make it much easier to make repairs and adjustments to your mountain bike when you are out.

  • Kuat Bike Rack to Carry Fat Bikes with 4 Inch Tires
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0, part # SH22G, can carry up to 3 inch tires maximum because the trays are fixed. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base, part # BA12B, can fit up to 4.8 inch tires. The racks are fairly similar other than the maximum tire size and weight capacity. Also, we have the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV22G, which is also similar with the higher capacities. It also includes a built-in bike repair stand.

  • Does Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Fit 2017 Cadillac XT5
  • I took a look at the clearances for you of the Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack, and it will definitely be able to fit your 2017 Cadillac XT5 with either of the trailer hitch receivers that fit your car, the etrailer # e62AR, or the one you asked about, the Curt # C13285. The NV 2.0 is one of the best bike racks available because of how easy it is to use, its integrated lock system, and the fact it can carry even heavy bikes with its 60 lb per-bike capacity. The NV 2.0 is available in two different...

  • 2022 Kia Telluride Stealth Hitches Options Explained
  • Great questions! The difference between the Stealth Hitches that fit your 2022 Kia Telluride is that part # 391KIATELL20 comes with the receiver designed to only be used with accessories (like a bike rack or cargo carrier) while the part # 391KIATELL20T comes with that same receiver as well as the ball mount and wiring so you can tow using this hitch. The Stealth Hitches connection point is in a unique vertical position which gives you a really clean look when you don't have the receiver...

  • Kuat Bike Rack with Best Rear Hatch Clearance for 2011 Hyundai Veracruz
  • We have not yet had the opportunity to test-fit any of the three racks on a 2011 Veracruz, so I cannot say with certainty what sort of rear-hatch clearance you would have. I can say that of the three racks, the NV would give the best chance of the hatch clearing the bikes. Because the platform section of the rack is not raised as high over the level of the receiver, it will place the bikes further away from the hatch. The NV also features a locking anti-rattle hitch lock and integrated...

  • Will Add-on for Kuat NV Fit the Kuat NV 2.0
  • The add-on from the original Kuat NV will not fit on the new NV 2.0 # NV22G. The add-on for the NV 2.0 is # NA22G. Or they can be purchased together with # NV22G-NA22G. Another model is the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B. It's very similar to the NV 2.0 except it extends slightly further from the vehicle when installed and does not include the bike repair stand. It also has an available add-on to 4 bikes using # BA02B or to purchase both together use # BA22B-BA02B.

  • Yes, the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98841 will fit your 2017 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T Ultimate. I have attached an installation video that you can use as a reference. If you are looking for a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because it is not only a great looking bike rack but it also has easy-to-use features like the foot pedal for tilting and folding the rack. You also have the ability to add some upgrades like the add-on # BA02B to carry up to 4...

  • Will a Trailer Hitch Interfere with the Foot Tailgate Activation on a 2018 Mercedes GLA 250
  • Installing a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C13197 that you referenced, on a vehicle like your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250 with the foot activated tailgate will slightly interfere with the activation. Typically you will wave your foot right where the hitch receiver sits. When you install a trailer hitch you will simply need to kick straight out to the left or right of the receiver openening to activate your tailgate. Installation instructions have been attached for you to reference, but...

  • Best Hitch for a 2022 Acura RDX
  • Your search is over, we do have a hitch confirmed to fit your 2022 Acura RDX. You are correct that the reason it has been hard to find a hitch that fits is because of the newness of your RDX. But the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR is confirmed to fit all models of the 2022 Acura RDX. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks,...

  • Kuat Sherpa or Kuat NV For 55 lb E-Bikes For 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • Ok, so the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # SH12G has a weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike, so even if you removed the battery from your 55 lb E-bike it would still be too heavy (batteries for electric bikes generally weigh about 7 lbs). That said, the NV 2.0 has a 60 lb per-bike capacity so you could use it for your 55 lb bike, and no hitch adapter would be needed for your Prius. The reason for that is the NV 2.0 is available with a 1-1/4 inch shank, so it is...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Fat Bike With 4 Inch Tire Width
  • There are bike racks that can accommodate your fat bike with a 4 inch tire including the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202. I also recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B along with the Phat Bike Adapter Kit # APBK, which will allow you to use tires that are up to 4.8" wide on the NV 2.0. This bike rack uses ratcheting hooks to grip your bike by its tires so there is no frame contact, features an integrated foot lever so you can tilt and fold the rack and has sliding ratcheting straps...

  • Can the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack Carry a Bike with a 48 Wheelbase
  • Since the max wheelbase of the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B is 47" your bike with a 48" wheelbase won't fit but I do have a different recommendation for you. The Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B is the next step up to the Sherpa 2.0 in regards to Kuat bike racks and it is compatible with your 48" wheelbase. The NV 2.0 Base also comes with bike and rack locks, is a wheel mount platform rack, and has the tilting/folding functions along with the anti-rattle knob at the front of the base assembly. The...

  • Is Add-On Different for Kuat NV 2.0 and Base Model of NV 2.0
  • The correct add-on for your Kuat NV 2.0 will depend on if you have the base model or not. All you need to know is if your bike rack came with Bike Repair Stand # TDKB or not. If it DID NOT then you have the base model, if it DID then you have the standard model. Here are the part numbers and what you might need, depending on your model. - Base Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # BA22B (Matte Black) requires Add-On # BA02B - Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV22B (Metallic Black) requires...

  • Recommended 4-Bike Rack for a 2020 Ford Explorer and 2020 Subaru Forester
  • Thank you for all of the info! I definitely can help you with the best bike rack option for your application, however first thing is first. In order to be able to use all 4 bike positions you need at least a Class II trailer hitch. Since your 2020 Subaru Forester is currently only equipped with a Class I, I recommend upgrading it to the Class III Curt # C13409 so that you can carry up to 4 bikes. With that being said, I highly recommend going with the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack #...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For Carrying a Bike Rack on a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89YR for your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid SE 4wd. This is the easiest receiver to install. You may need to enlarge the access holes if the square hole spacers will not fit into them but there is no other drilling or modification required for installation. This receiver will fit both Hybrids and non Hybrid trims so do not be confused as both are listed on the product page. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TE54FR so...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2015 Honda Odyssey to Carry Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
  • That is a great question and the best hitch for your 2015 Honda Odyssey for your bike rack is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13068. The reason this hitch is the best option for your '15 Odyssey to carry the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV22G with 2-Bike Add-On # NA22G (or the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack # BA22B with 2-Bike Add-On # BA02B, which is the same rack but just without the integrated bike repair stand) is because the Curt gives you the best bumper clearance...

I have attached an installation video below for a similar hitch we installed in our shop so you can see the removable receiver tube installation and how much play it has. You will get a set of installation instructions with the receiver that includes color photos. I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 so that you will...
