Will Handlebars of Bikes Interfere with Fit on the Thule Helium Pro 3-Bike Rack
Question:
Does this bike rack hold 3 cycling bikes nice or are they close?
asked by: Sally
Expert Reply:
The Thule Helium Pro 3-Bike Rack # TH9043PRO actually has cradles spaced far enough apart that you won't have a problem fitting your cycling bikes.
If your concern is that bike-to-bike contact then you will want to go with a platform bike rack instead. A great option that is similar in price is the Kuat Transfer # KU24FR. This is a wheel mount bike rack which can accommodate any bike frame style as long as it doesn't have a fender. A few of the features that make it different than the Helium is that your bikes will not make contact with each other or the rack, and you can tilt the bike rack down with the bikes loaded if you need to access your trunk or hatch area.
