Can Hollywood Racks Bike Rack # HR1400 be Installed Initially as 2 Bike Rack

Question

Question:

Can the Hollywood HR1400 be initially installed in the 2-bike configuration and the 2-bike extension added later? This would avoid having to lift the complete 74 pound rack during installation which would be a great benefit for my wife.

Yes, you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HR1400Z as just a 2 bike rack and then later expand it to a 4 bike rack if you wanted to. I attached a picture that shows the rack split apart for you to check out as well.

If a bike rack says 45 lbs max per bike then you might be able to get away with a few lbs over that limit if you have 1 bike, but 20 lbs over that limit will definitely not be safe. This is due to the weight capacity of the pieces used for the wheel…

When in 2-bike mode the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE #HR1400Z is designed to only accept its cargo carrier and is not confirmed to work with other cargo carriers. That would make your best option #HR1400Z-85 which is the 2 and 4 bike version of the…
