Can you mount a road/racing bike on this rack? If no, why not? (I know there is the racing cycle holder but I'd like one that mounts with both wheels)

Yes it will work with road bikes also. easiest bike rack I have ever used! Using it on a bmw 535i GT.

I don't know I only have a mountain bike. . I bought the arm that swings up and clamps into the frame. Both wheels are secured too and it seems like it would work. Good luck.

This rack is the only one I use for my road bikes. It is adjustable so the bikes are snug. Best rack I have ever owned and I used it a lot through the summer. More than pleased for the money.

not by both wheels....i mount the rear wheel, and the front wheel holder fits right under the frame, by the steering stem.

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.

I think this bike would be much too heavy for that purpose. You need a bike with a lighter frame. This is more a commuter road bike not suitable for competitive races.

Does not need to be mounted. My kids and I ride a lot andmy husbands bike stays on the far right rack without a problem. Can easily fit 4 adult bikes... Have it get creative with a 5 th... ( I am 5' 2" though so my adult bike is not huge!)

Though it's contrary to the other posters I have to add my two cents. This rack, while optimal for bikes equipped with disc brakes mounted to the rear of the seatstays, will work just fine on bikes with rim brakes - the legs will just be spaced out wider than the non-disc version.

Yes. We put a street glide and a road king in it but you have to secure the front. Bikes came out of chocks X2 times. Consider another system...

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

I don't know about mounting it on a bike, but the bottom of the crate does have holes in it. Plus, the way I see it, is its not that expensive and its great storage!

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

Hi! The space to fit the wheel is 2.5 inches wide. The 33x700 wheels of my CX bike fit well. The issue I am facing is the very small distance between the two wheels racks. It is only 8.5 inches. distance (or about 21cm). Since average road bikes have handlebars of 44cm, two bikes next to each other will not fit (unless alternating them front and back, but then the front wheel will start turning around and bikes might scratch each other). You might be better off with MTBs, depending if the handlebars are at the same hight and touch each other or not.... On hind site, I would get either two individual separate stands that I can put at any distance I need, or a Feedbakk Sports stand that can be staggered (a bit more expensive, but solves the problem in limited spaces, see: http://www.amazon.com/Feedback-Sports-Bicycle-Storage-Stand/dp/B001F9V842/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409342568&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=feedbakk+rack ). I hope this helps. good luck!

I have a rear rack, and I use it to secure items to the rear rack. It's very very nice. Actually - I have a front rack as well, and I'm thinking about getting another one for the front.

Yes I have run right to the limit a 48 wheelbase bike a buddy made for fun, works fine. Also supports up to 60lbs per bike, I usually carry my Norco atomik everywhere on the back of my mk6 golf. You won't regret this rack

I have had both, and this is more heavy duty. I really like it. The bike is on very securely. I believe you will be very happy if you buy the bike rack.

Mounts on front, provided the bicycle has linear pull brakes, the posts of which the rack will share. It does not interfere with the brake operation. Nice rack for the price, very handy, and will even hold a set of pannier bags.

I have not tried it for that as I have a Swagman bike rack which is really great...purchased through Amazon.
