Best Bike Rack For The Wicked Thumb Line Of Bikes
Question:
I also wanted to know about the BEST rack for the WICKED THUMB LINE of bikes . My problem with the Hollywood they and you suggest is NO VIDEO or PHOTOS of any WICKED THUMB BIKE MOUNTED ON THIS RACK . I would like to see an actual video of someone LIFTING the WICKED THUMB bike and mounting it on the inch suggestedinch Hollywood rack . I have the bike with ape hanger handle bars .inch IT IS NOT LIGHTinch . And to lift the bike what 2-3 feet up ,may be a challenge for any BACK muscles. SO ....... LETS GET A VIDEO OF THE WICKED THUMB BIKE BEING LOADED and UNLOADED .I also wonder about the battery tank with the frame hold down . I think that part should be LOCKING ALONG WITH LOCKING WHEEL SECUREMENT TOO.THESE BIKES ARE $3-4K+ .

Expert Reply:
The Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR is going to be your best bet for carrying the wicked thumb bikes. We do not have a wicked thumb bike here at our shop or we certainly would be happy to shoot a video of loading and unloading. You are right that with the weight of these it can be tricky to lift the bike on to the platform. It can be easier is you list one wheel on to the platform at a time, instead of attempting to lift the full weight of the bike.
The ratcheting arm are lockable, so the bikes cannot be removed from the rack without a key. The j-hooks are fairly wide so fitting near/around the battery tank would not be an issue. This rack it very commonly used on bikes with larger/alternative frames. I got in contact with the folks at Wicked Thumb and they confirmed that the Hollywood Rack # HLY84FR is the way to go.
