Best 4 Bike Platform Rack Recommendation for Long Wheelbase Bikes with Fenders
Question:
my mongoose mt bike and our electra townies measure 50inch wheel base and the townies have fenders. will this be an issue?! thanks,

Expert Reply:
For bikes that have fenders you want to use a bike rack that grabs the bikes by the frame and not the wheel/tire. The Kuat NV part # NV22G-NA22G that you referenced is a great rack but it's not ideal for fendered bikes. Instead you'd want something like the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider # HR1400Z-FB which would be a great option. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. It can also carry bikes with up to a 60 inch wheelbase too.
