Will a downhill bike fit this rack with a 2.5 tires

i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow. They were too narrow for my mountain 29er which does have fairly fat cross country tires(2.2?). However: i was able to expand these stabilizers wider by bending them open to make them 'fit', and now it works fine. You probably could do the same, although you'll have to widen more than i did. i was able to do it by hand(cuz i only needed a little bit more space) but you might have to exert a little more force for the 2.5s. i feel that it would be possible. i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow.

Not without bending the tire holder parts out alittle. That's what I Did and it works fine and I have 2.7's.

The end slides into the the existing bike rack. The existing bike rack slides into the receiver hitch. Therefore, it is smaller than the 2" receiver. There would be a fair amount of slop. The holes would also need to be drilled.

not this one, this will fit into the existing 2" and convert to an 2" again. It's like having an extended 2" tube to fit a bike rack that uses 2" fitting.

Yes, I currently use my rack with 2 29" Specilized MB and 1 24" kids bike. Orillinally the rack works with 26" and 29" mountain bike tires. To make it work i had to buy the. Saris Thelma Juvenile Bike Add-on Kit. Worked for me

I measured the distance between the rails, and there is less than 3.5". Although we are very pleased with this rack, in my opinion it will not work with your wide tires.

Yes, you should be able to carry your two bikes. The narrow space between bars is about 2" for standard bike tires, and the wider spaces are between 4.75" and 5.25" (they vary).

I don't think there is enough room between the bar and the tire but that might depend on the rack size and seat post length.

Nope. The max tire size you could use with this would be a 3.5. And you could only do that if you mounted it so high that it might interfere with your seatpost. At a standard mounting height, a 3.0 inch tire is as large as you could reasonably expect to get in this rack.

I have a Specialized CrossTrail Disk. With cable actuated disk brakes, & the rack fit my bike without any issue. I have a Medium sized frame. Hope this helps.

I can't imagine why it would not fit. The tire racks themselves, are adjustable so it can accommodate a variety of sizes. The only thing we found is, if carrying two bikes, we need to turn the pedals of the bikes opposite each other.

It's not the rim you have to worry about its the clearance of your fork. If the 1.75 is close to rubbing the fork then the 2.10 will be too big. I have used larger tires (2.10,2.25) on the same rim the 2.10 refers to the width of the tire at the tread.

You would need a 2" hitch and it would depend on the size of any spare tire mounted to the rear

if the sidewall on your old tires say 26" x 1 3/8" then yes. sizes for these middle/lightweight bikes were tricky as they use 3 or 4 26' size wheel and tire combos. I have a Schwinn, but it has MOCO or Murray rims, looks original but on a 50yr bike who knows. Good Luck...Mo

I believe it will. These racks have a lot of vertical adjustment and are wide enough for MTB tires.

1 per bike, I have a thule 2 Bike rack and it fits well. You can goto the website and see if it is compatible

If you have a 2" diameter clearance from the frame/fork rails you'll be ok because the pegs are large :)

Yes, they will fit with 26" x 1.95" tires I have them on a suspension bike with 2.1" tires but they are a neet fit.
