I see that it works with road bikes, but how about phat bikes such as a Surly Pugsley?

Hi! If the bike you are referring to exceeds the 20" to 29" wheel diameter and up to 3" tire width that the 501 can fit, then this will not work. You may want to look at the Thule T2 hitch bike carrier with the Fat tire adapter! Thanks!

Hi Nikos. The 501 Insta-Gater handles 20 - 29 inch wheels and up to 3 inch wide tires.

I'm using it on my mountain bike which has a rather large oval frame and it works fine. It will work with just about any pump.

It could fit....but you'd have to be creative. The Pugsley is disc brake only. The Gold Tec rack mounts to liner pull (v-brake) mounts. Which the Pugsley doesn't have.

I just tried it with a wheel. And it worked. Looks like should be fine with the whole bike too.

Well I tried it on a mountain bike and it worked nicely bc the handle bars have a good distance from the wheel. Probably not good with a racing bike where the handle bars are very low.

Yes! The first one I purchased I put on my road bike. The second one I purchased I put on my Schwinn DX 900 exercycle. It works great.

I have only used them on my mt. bike- check with the manufacturer to see if they are compatible with road bike wheels.

Yes it works just fine, I have a MTB and road bike which I use the rack for.

I have a Landrider and it works fine so I do not see a problem with this. The mounts adjust to the hubs so it should work with your bike as well

Yes I used it with several different types of bikes, road bikes, and heavy downhill bikes with out an issue. The only problem I had was that some of the mountain bike frames were to narrow for the head to get through and get grip on.

I got it for my sister, she said it worked great on her road bike, not sure what brand of bike she has.

I use for Scott road bike and also a Trek Mountain Bike. Works Great. Highly recommen and you can always return if you don't like!

It should work with all bike tires. There is a way to fill either tire valve.

I wish I had an answer for ya', but I used mine on my mtn bike and it worked okay. It fell off a time or two before I figured out how to install it (Note to self - sometimes you actually should read instructions :) If you have a mainstream road bike I suspect it'll work, but if you want to be certain you should probably try the manufacturer. Happy riding!

It works all right on my Surly LHT. The only annoying thing that I've noticed is that I brush my legs against it when I climb out of the saddle. I'm not sure how typical this is.

It works but you have to put it on the frame in order to reach the rear wheel. It is too short if you try to place it on the handles. This way i am able to use my road bike on my trainer

I have a Scott mountainbike and it fits, even with the quick release tires. Just make sure it's tight and turned correctly. Fits my wife's off brand bike as well. Don't see how it wouldn't fit almost any bike, but I am not familiar with road bikes...
