Recommending a Four-Bike Rack to Accommodate Bikes with Fenders
Question:
I'm looking for a bike rack that can accommodate 3 adult bicycles with fenders that includes a women's vintage-style frame and 1 carbon fiber road bike. I have a 2-inch hitch and prefer a platform type of hitch rack to hold all four. What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Expert Reply:
To accommodate a carbon fiber frame and a vintage-style frame with fenders, the best option would be a wheel-only mount bike rack. A rack which grasps your bikes by the wheels will remove the need for an adapter bar for the women's vintage-style frame while keeping the carbon frame untouched.
A platform-style rack may not work as well with bikes that have front fenders, so we have a problem. We must use a wheel mount to protect the frame and the wheel mount interferes with the front fender. Several customers came up with a solution that you may not love. They used the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount, Item # TH69TX and they removed the front fender.
