Bike Rack Recommendation for a Bike that Weighs 42 lbs
Question:
What is the weight limit for the bike rack adapter. My bike is about 42 lbs
asked by: Kevin
Helpful Expert Reply:
I spoke to my contact at Sportrack and she informed me that the Adapter Bar part # SR0500 that you referenced has a 35 lb capacity.
All of the adapter bars we carry are rated at 35 lbs. If you are in need of an adapter bar for a 42 lb bike your only option would be to go with a platform style bike rack.
The T2 bike rack part # TH83JV for a 2 inch hitch or the # TH23JV for a 1-1/4 inch hitch would be a great option for you as they can handle bikes that weigh 60 lbs each.
