Can I still attach this if I have a rack on the back of my hybrid?

yes, it attaches to the seat post stem, so you can still have a rack on your bike. I do on mine as well.

You should be able to as long as there is enough space under the seat. You need about 6" clearance under the seat for the bag to fit.

It depends on how much space is between the rack and the bottom of the seat and do you use a rack bag. I have 2 of these seat bags 1large and 1medium.Iuse both as tool bags,spare tube,tire irons ect. On my tour bike with panners yes with rack bag no. On my other bikes with no rack clearance is not an issue. I found these seat bags indespenable as thy expand and you can stuff an amazing amount of things into them. The large one I can even get my long sleeve jersey and tools into it.

It depends if your rack attaches to your seat post then no. If your rack attaches elsewhere the height of your seat will determine if there is room, the higher the seat more clearance.

It should not, no. However, you may wish to look at the Freedom Superclamp, that rack only touches the tires

Yes, but also make sure the red knob is turned all the way to the left. If it's not the rack won't slide into the hitch.

Depends on which bit you are trying to secure. If you put the front tire in the slot on the rack, you can secure it. If you are going for the frame or the post you may have trouble. What I do is either try and get an end slot or just lock it to the outside bit of the rack. Hope this helps!

Yes you can, you can only not insert the rack and you´ll have an open space.

My guess is no. Just looking at your bike it seems the rack isn't deep enough to stay off the tire at a functional angle.

Yes. Buy yourself an adjustable lug wrench and you will save yourself a lot of time installing the rack.

I have this exact one and I don't think a standard bike rack would work! I just put it in the back of my pick up. Great bike!!!

go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube.

Yes. It works best if you mount 1 rack with the bike facing to the front of the car an the other facing to the rear of the car.

No with the bike loaded it makes it very heavy to do so. Can do it with rack only no bikes.

It will mount fine with the front rack. For the rear rack, the bars are too short and it would clamp onto the plastic area with the small triangle on the bottom. It is doable with a longer bolt and secure if you put longer bolts in the back.

I wouldn't see why not. I had to reverse the bikes on the rack to get the lay side by side. It is a nice sturdy rack

You could, but you'd have to find a way to keep it firm. The rack itself is solid, but the bike is suspended in two heavy plastic grooves. It can swing from side to side gently.

Not that I am aware, and this has been a concern. We park the car backwards in the driveway so that the rack is up against the house (and porch light). There is a sturdy iron ring on the bottom portion of the rack, and I imagine you could secure this to the car's frame or trailer hitch with some sort of cable or chain.

I mounted this rack on my hybrid bike with 700C wheels (similar size to a 29er). My bike also has disc brakes. On the left side of the bike (where the disc brake caliper mounts), I added a 1/2" (0.5 inch or about 13 mm) spacer between the leg and the bike frame. I used a longer 5mm (M5) screw. With that modification, it works fine with disc brakes. The right side mounts normally. It is quite solid with the spacer. I didn't realize that this one wasn't specifically for disc brake bikes when I ordered it.

Depends on how far back on the rack you can loop it through from very front of boole to back tire answer is no. Buy achain
