What is Meant by Frame Mount and Wheel Mount for Trailer Hitch Bike Rack
Question:
What exactly is the difference between wheel and frame mount. Are you referring to the car frame or the bike frame
asked by: Frank. P
Expert Reply:
When we refer to frame mount and wheel mount for the bike racks we offer we are referring to how the bike attaches to the bike rack. Wheel mount is generally preferred as long as the bike does not have fenders as it allows the rack to securely grab the bike without touching the delicate frame material or paint. The Kuat Sherpa part # SH22G is a wheel mount style and a really great option. For a frame mount the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z is a great option.
