There is not a ramp that will work with the Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack. If you like the Sherpa then you would probably like the upgraded Kuat NV 2.0 which not only is compatible with the Access Ramp # ANVBRB, but also has a higher weight capacity of 60lbs per bike. The Kuat NV 2.0 comes in a few variations as you can see:

-Black 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # BA12B
-Black 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # BA22B
-Metallic Black 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # NV12B
-Metallic Black 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # NV22B
-Gunmetal Grey 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # NV12G
-Gunmetal Grey 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # NV22G

Either the Kuat Tranfer 1 #KU64FR or the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 1 #RKY10007 would handle the bikes you describe easily. Both would hold the bikes by the tires, so the fact that the rack won't come into contact with the frame will work well…
