Best Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for a Fat Bike
Question:
Hello, Im interested in the Kuat NVinch 2 bike carrier. I have two fat tire bikes that Id like to transport. The tire slots on the carrier need to be 5inch wide for my 4.9inch tires. Do you have one that will work for these tires? Or, perhaps an add on to that carrier that will work? Please let me know. Much appreciated,

Expert Reply:
I have a solution for you, but the Kuat NV part # NV22G will only accommodate tires up to 4 inches in width.
Instead check out the Thule T2 part # TH9045 for 2 bikes or the and # TH69TX for 4 bikes are very similar to the Kuat and can accommodate tires up to 5 inches wide. I attached a review videos for these racks for you to check out as well. This rack also only touches the bikes at the tires like the NV. These both can hold bikes up to 60 pounds each.
