Can Swagman Pick-Up 2 Bike Carrier Accept Wider Forks

Question

Question:

I have the Swagman bike rack, but was looking for fork mounts that would support a wider form say for mountain bikes with much wider tires and thus forks. Does that exist?

I do have a potential solution for you but I reached out to my contact at Swagman and unfortunately he said there's not a good option available that's able to adapt the Pick-Up 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 so that it can accept wider forks like what is on your mountain bikes.

Your only option to secure these bikes will be with a different carrier. We do have the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack # S64701 which features a really similar design to your Pick-Up but its included fork blocks are able to accept different sized fork mounts. The rack comes with a standard 9-mm skewer but you can add a 12 mm # S64718, 15 mm # S64716, or 20 mm # S64715 Thru-Axle Adapter for wider bikes.

I have attached a short video review on this rack that you can check out as well.
