Bike Rack Options For Two 52 Inch Wheelbase Bikes
Question:

asked by: Rose
Expert Reply:
Since you have a rather wide wheel base, platform racks are not a good option. Most platform bike racks max out around 50 inches in wheelbase like the Thule T2 # TH83JV you're looking at. One of the only racks that will support your 52 inch wheelbase bikes would be the Sport Rider SE # HR1450Z. That's a good option and I've used this rack before and did like it. I've included a video of me using it!
If you're open to hanging style bike racks, the Yakima RidgeBack # Y02457 is a good option. I've also used this one and it's super easy to use. It'll be a little less material than the Sport Rider so if you're looking for something a little more low profile, the RidgeBack is what you want to go with.
