Roof Rack Trailer that Can Fit Yakima Bike Racks

Question:

Will this work on a Malone Microsport Trailer or is the spread too great for this type of bike rack?

Expert Reply:

The crossbar spread range of the Malone Microsport XT part # MPG460XT is 44 to 63 inches whereas the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 that you referenced as a crossbar spread range of 18 to 36 inches. We've found that the spread range of the Microsport XT is going to be too wide for nearly all bike racks. So an alternative option that would allow you to fit practically any accessory is the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. This has 78" long crossbars which are the same length as the Malone trailer you mentioned, and the crossbars spread is adjustable from 4" - 48".
