Will it interfere with a rear rack on the adult bike? It isn't clear from the pictures if the attaching bar will hit the rack or not.

It might depend on how high you can put the seat on the adult bike. If you keep your seat low, the connector would hit the rack. If you can put the seat higher, it MIGHT work, though I haven't tried with a rack.

The trailer attaches to the seat post. The picture is an accurate representation of the unit. If you are of taller stature, the seat height may give you ample room. If you can post the dimensions of the rack and the seat height, maybe I can measure mine and let you know if it might work.

The best answer: "it depends." Depending on your own height and how you have your saddle set, you may or may not see interference. If you have a decent amount of exposed seat post, you can mount the receiver high enough and you will have plenty of clearance. This receiver stays in place well once it's mounted. I've seen others that slide down (Trek, for example). If you're short and don't have a lot of post to work with, you might get some interference. Not sure if I can post a picture of mine here, but I can take some measurements if needed.

I'm not sure as I don't have a rack, but I n my bike (26" wheels), there is about a 4" clearance from the top of the rear tire to the bottom of the co-pilot arm. This may differ for you depending on how high your seat is from your bike frame as the bracket can be positioned higher or lower on the neck of the bike seat. Hope this helps!

Hi Elizabeth, I don't think you'll have any problem. I recently did a road trip with two adult road bikes, a Trek and a Specialized, and the bike rack worked great. It's a very solid design, when all the straps are tightened down it's just like having a hitch-mounted rack.

Although the bike cradles do rotate, it's not enough to accommodate a typical adult lady's bike. An added adapter bar for the girl's bike does work. The rack does not easily accommodate smaller bikes since the cradle/rack may be to big to fit through the center of the smaller bike without considerable effort.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

I have an suv and haven't had any problem with the cushioned top bar resting on the glass of my vehicle. If anything, the weight rests on the bottom bar when the bicycles rest on the arms of the bike rack. Excellent purchase if u ask me. I've had up to three 40 lb mountain bikes on this rack on the back of my vehicle. Drove over bumps and my glass was fine. I reckon it'd be fine for ur vehicle too

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 suspect not because it uses 3 point triangular attachment, top front, top rear and lower center. The lower center securement point is where you'll have the problem. It's designed for the racks that connect to the bike frame at the rear axle area.

It should be fine. It connects on the outside of the rim away from the disc brakes. This is a good basic rear rack. It is adjustable for different sizes of bikes.

I'm not familiar with the specific bike, but I would think that the stem height is not a problem. Both ends of the bar are angle 'independent'. It needn't be parallel to ground but it will be much closer than the angle of a woman's bike - no more tire sticking up in the air, and fits better with another bike

Mine is actually mounted on the bottom rear bumper frame. I've only used it on bike racks.

You need a straight bar across your bike or a special attachment to fit it onto this rack. Our girls bike did not work, we had to buy a straight bar to attach to the bike.

I was able to mount mine and my daughter's without a problem. I love this bike rack. Best thing we have bought in a long time.

Actually no it does not interfere with the rear seat. However, the thing to consider is how high you mount it back there because you don't want someone to hit their head on it.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

No, you don't for a men's bike. You may need to if you have a slanted bar on a female's bike if you do not have an extension bar to evenly hold it on the rack.

As long as the bike has sharp lines it will be fine. If the bike has a curve that goes straight down in the middle you will need a bar that attaches the bike to the rack. Not a big deal.

Yes, there could be a problem with that depending on the size of your bikes. It rubbed on mine. But even more of a problem is the design of the rubber pieces to securely hold the bike to the rack. The straps are not well designed. They are too short and very hard to pull over the bike tube and hook. I would not recommend this rack. I now use it to hang my A frame ladder and, after we are parked, it is also used to hang wet clothes!
