Question:
am looking for an inexpensive hitch bike rack for 4 bikes. The problem is that three of the 4 bikes have girli frames. Are there several racks that you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The best solution for carrying 4 bikes, 3 of them with slanted top tubes, is to go with a single arm bike rack that has rotation cradles so that you can carrying the girls bikes level. Take a look at the Swagman XP, # S64940. As far as bike racks go it is about in the middle as far as price. The main benefit is that you can use this rack with girls bikes and not have to use adapters.
You could use a 2 arm bike rack like # S63380, but you would also need 3 of the bike adapter bars, # 64005, for the girls bikes for greater ground clearance and to carry them level.
