Bike Rack For Carbon Frame Bike For Travel Trailer

Question:

What bike rack to you recommend to carry a carbon frame road bike ~22 pounds on the back of a 17-foot travel trailer 2-inch hitch attached to frame, not bumper? Most options for carbon frame bikes seem not be recommended for travel trailers.

We do have an option for you, but for a carbon frame bike you'll want a rack that holds the bikes by the wheels, and there aren't any hitch-mounted options rated for use on a travel trailer. There is an option for a rack that mounts on your trailer tongue that holds bikes by the tires, and the right one will depend on if you have an A-frame trailer (which I assume you do), or a straight tongue trailer:

- A-Frame: Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756

- Straight Tongue: Hitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138
