Expert Answers about Bike-Repair-Stands


  • Kuat Bike Rack Recommendation that Has Bike Repair Stand
  • There is a Kuat bike rack that has a repair stand that comes with it but it's not the Transfer. It's actually the NV 2.0 part # NV22G. I attached the best picture of how it's used that we offer but we don't have one yet with a bike installed in it.

  • Recommended Trail Doc for Repairs on Location At Your Destination
  • The Kuat Trail Doc Bike Repair Stand # TDKB is a fit for your Thule T2 but only with an adapter. If you don't already have the adapter, it is no longer an available part to add to your rack. My contact at Kuat said they have discontinued making those adapters for other rack manufacturers awhile ago. Your best option if you don't have the adapter is to use the Tri-Doc Repair Stand for Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack - Aluminum # TDSNVO. This will pair with the Trail Doc for Kuat NV 2.0 Base Platform...

  • 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.

  • Differences Between Kuat NV 2.0 Base and Non-Base Model
  • The Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Platform Rack, # NV22G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform rack, # BA22B. are both very similar bike racks. Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, # NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and # BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both racks have very similar specs. The NV 2.0 # NV22G does include the bike repair stand mounted on the end. The # NV22G, when installed in the hitch, will sit closer to your vehicle when folded down then the NV 2.0 Base bike rack. Basically...

Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, # NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and # BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both racks have very similar specs.

  • Kuat Bike Rack for 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Yes the Kuat NV 2.0 line of bike racks fits your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon's 2" hitch including the NV 2.0 Base # BA22B. The 2 bike add on # BA02B converts this to a 4-bike bike rack if you decide later you would like more capacity. The base is very similar to the NV 2.0. The main difference is the Base does not have the built in repair stand, which can be added # TDKB and the matte black finish is different compared to the glossy finish of the NV 2.0. The Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G and the...

  • 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.

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2015 Honda Accord Sedan
  • The strap in question, # 18050, can attach to the trunk lid on your 2015 Honda Accord when using Curt hitch # C11681 with a bike rack. I linked a video showing how it works. The strap is a requirement from Curt, the hitch manufacturer, so you would not see that required from the bike rack manufacturers. If you have not decided on a bike rack yet I recently got to play around with the new Thule T2 Pro, # TH23JV. It is very easy to use since you can tilt the rack up and down using the...

  • Platform Bike Rack Options for a 2018 Honda CR-V
  • Since we have quite a variety of platform mount bike racks to choose from to use with your 2018 Honda CR-V I will give you a couple of recommendations. A good entry-level platform bike rack is the Curt # C18085. This is a lightweight bike rack that can hold up to two 45 lb bikes by securing their wheels to the cradles. This means that it can accommodate a wide variety of bikes as long as they do not have a fender or basket. This bike rack can be used with either a 1-1/4 inch or a 2 inch...

  • Comparing Kuat NV 2.0 and Kuat Sherpa 2.0
  • Both the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G and Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G are wheel-mounted bike racks that grasp the bikes by the front wheels with ratcheting hooks and the rear wheels with ratcheting straps, which makes either a great choice for a bike with a carbon fiber frame. The two racks are similar in many ways but if it were me I'd go with the more economical Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G which also has the convenience of just twisting a hand knob to tighten the shank in your hitch, which was one of...

  • What is Difference Between Kuat NV 2.0 and NV 2.0 Base
  • The Kuat NV 2.0 2 Bike Platform Rack, # NV22G, and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform rack, # BA22B. are both very similar bike racks. Both racks can be expanded to a 4-bike rack, # NA22G add-on for the NV 2.0 and # BA02B for the NV 2.0 Base, and both racks have very similar specs. The NV 2.0 # NV22G does include one major feature over the base, the bike repair stand. If you've ever been out at the track/trail and wished you had a bike stand to make working on the bike easier this would...

  • Difference Between Curt and etrailer Hitches for a 2022 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The Curt # C13382 and etrailer # e98912 hitches for your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek have the same construction, capacities, and design, but the big difference is that the Curt hitch has the classic glossy finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish which does a better job at blending in with your vehicle bumper fascia and hiding any scratches that might happen due to road debris. I recommend going with the etrailer hitch because of all of this. I've attached an installation video...

  • Comparing the Kuat Sherpa and NV 2.0 Bike Racks
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack like part # SH12P and Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack like part # NV12B are both excellent bike rack options. I know you will be happy with either but the NV is the nicer of the two as it has a built-in bike repair stand, will allow for wider tires (with adapter), and can be used with heavier bikes. The Sherpa is however lighter so it will be easier to get on and off the vehicle. If this is not what you were looking for please just let me know.

  • What Do Draw-Tite Hitches Look Like When Installed on 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • We have actually installed both Draw-Tite hitches on a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon so I've added a photo and installation video of each for you to check out! The Draw-Tite # DT94YR is what I recommend going with because it has a hidden crosstube so the finished look is really clean. The # DT73RR will be easier to install, but the crosstube is visible under the rear bumper so it doesn't look as clean and it will ultimately be reducing your ground clearance some. If you don't already have...

  • 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.
