Question:

Im wondering how low the frame ratchet goes... we have a 2009 Trek Navigator 2.0 WSD, in 13.5 frame size, and not sure the ratchet that secures the bar will go low enough for this bike.

The Swagman XTC4, item # S64665, will accept many different styles of bike frames. The frame ratchet hooks will adjust to approximately 13 inches above the wheel holders. You can also adjust the wheel holders left and right somewhat to accommodate different style frames.

I would choose the Swagman S64665 over the SportRack part #A30902LR in this case, hands down. The Swagman base is a bit heavier. They are both steel racks, so they would not hold up as well as an aluminum rack would, but I think the Swagman finish…
