I have a downhill bike with 2.5 in wide tires. Will this fit in the rack properly?

I just measured the slot for the tire and it is 3 1/2", so it should be able to fit.
1459665
Yes, but it would be a tight fit. I measured the opening at just under 2.5". The rubber would squeeze a bit.

Yes it should work fine in that regard as the width isn't the problem. However, if you want to place two bikes in the rack at the same time, they must face opposite directions otherwise the handlebars will conflict. The problem with that is that the angle of the wheel supports is so steep that it hits the gear shifter on mountain bikes and you risk damaging them. If you have a single speed bike then it shouldn't be a problem, though.

It should! The space is exactly 2.5" (I measured it) and my mountain bike has 2.5" wide tires and it fits. Good luck!

I believe it will. I have pretty aggressive tire on my bike and there is plenty of room to spare.

I do not know if it will fit your fat bike 2.5 wide at the top.I have a kent del rio bike and it does not come near my wheel.But this stand is very close to the ground . i ride on the road and it hits the ground when i turn around.

The measurement between the wheel loop is 3 1/2". 4" tires sound extremely wide. Most average mountain bike style tires are about 2-3". Did you physically measure your tires? Maybe you could let some air out and they would fit if they are that big. I'm very happy with the rack. Good luck!!

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.

It should. That's the typical size tire and you can also set up a mileage tracker for that size as well. The only issue is if you are using mountain bike tired it'll be really bumpy and noisy. I hope this helps.

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.

It should. Your bike likely came with 700x23c tires and if you order the same size rear tire for your indoor use, then you shouldn't have issues. If you wanted to put a 25mm or 28mm width then you might have problems that the tire is too wide to go through the fork or rear frame without rubbing.

Typically the bar is standard size. With that said, it should fit well I cant guarantee it. I personally use this on thule spare me bike rack and it fit very well.

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.

I have mountain bikes in my rack and no problem with it holding those tires. Looks like it can handle tires up to 31/4 inches wide. If your tires are bigger then that, it might not work for you.

If your rear rack is wider than 5 1/2 inches then it may not fit. Otherwise I think it will actually work out nicely. You do have the flexibility to move the bracket up and down the main stem of the seat in order to have the seat sit higher or lower

I wouildn't recommend it. the bracket that fits to seat subing is 2" at least. The angle of this rack is tricky and below the rack shelf is a piece of tubing that hangs low and interfers with the tire. I tried it on my 700c tired bike and ona standard 26" bike both with seats to fit 5'4" height rider (seat is set pretty low) and it didn't work.

It should the rack can be adjusted to fit. I put this rack on a Trek FX 7.1 with 20 inch tires and have had no problems.

I'm not sure but just to give you an idea i installed mine in a 28" wheel. It had about 2"clearance from the tire to the rack.

Yes it will fit as long as you indicate the size of the hitch when you place the order. I have the 2" hitch and I am very happy with the rack.

This wouldn't be a good rack for a road bike, its more on the lines of mountain, hybrid bikes. I don't think 2 inches would fit, unless u know how and can make modifications.
