Can I Fit A Bike With 50" Wheelbase On The Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Rack?

Question:

I am wondering about the wheel base of my bike. The factory specs say it is 50 inches. Will the Inno Tire Hold 2 work for me. I really need you to say yes...

I have a solution for you, but the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack # INA389 can only hold a bike with a wheelbase of up to 48". I would not recommend using this carrier for a bike that has a wheelbase of 50". To verify the wheelbase of your bike, you can measure from the center of one wheel to the center of the next wheel and determine the distance as seen in the attached photo.

If your bike's wheelbase is in fact 50" then I would look into the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Mounted Bike Rack - Wheel Mount # RRRBC050. This is very versatile due to the adjustability and 64" long wheel tray. This will clamp onto round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. The carrier itself is lightweight at only 15lbs but has a weight capacity of 45 lbs. I attached a demonstration video to further explain this carrier.
