Has anyone tried putting womens bikes, or smaller 20 inch kids bikes on this rack?

Actually have done both. Once you align the tire slots for the size of the bike and then alternate direction, goes on like charm. Just position the smaller hook arm for the girls bikes as it will need to be the lowest on the hook pole.

Yes, my son races two bikes a 20 inch and a 24 inch both fit perfect because the rack system is adjustable. And I'm quite sure it will fit a woman's bike for the same reason as far as the wheels are concerned. I haven't personally tried a woman's bike on the Hollywood rack system, but I'm confident you won't have any issues.

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.

The will! We also have cruisers though our tires are not quite that wide there is plenty of width in the rings for what you have. BTW, we love this bike rack!!! It holds the bikes perfectly so nothing rubs or bangs together. Best wishes.

I would think so, I've never tried that with the bikes on. I think, depending on the weight of the bikes and clearance between the rack and the ground, you may not want to do that. As far as the strength of the rack? It is definitely strong enough! Hope this helped.

I dont think so. It doesnt seem to be long enough (left to right) or wide enough depth (front t.o back) to hold 4 bikes. I think mostly due to the pedals & stuff gtting tangled. You wouldnt be able to neatly stack them next to each other.

Yes, I have a women's bike. At one time I have been able to carry this combination: 2 female bikes; 1 male + 1 female bike; 2 male bikes... Basically any combination. It is just a matter of accommodating the pedals so that the bikes do not damage each other.

Definitely not. Because the shelves are fixed in place, it would be difficult to fit even one adult bicycle. It is a nice garden shed though.

I have a woman's bike too and I was able to fit it on the rack without any problems.

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!!!

Yes, I currently use my rack with 2 29" Specilized MB and 1 24" kids bike. Orillinally the rack works with 26" and 29" mountain bike tires. To make it work i had to buy the. Saris Thelma Juvenile Bike Add-on Kit. Worked for me

I had to use one on all the girls bikes. I purchased Stoneman Sports QSP-610 Sparehand Adjustable Bike Bar which work very well. Also one of my kids bikes would not fit as the space between the cross bar and the pedals was too small. I do like this rack however I would only recommend putting 4 bikes on it. Putting 5 bikes is a very very tight fit.

I hav used them on 26 inch wheels. I don't think 20 inch wheels are a great application for these racks, your panniers will be in close contact with the ground. There are other racks that mount higher up, check for TUBUS or OMM OLD MAN MOUNTAIN, they will have more of what you need. Also, these racks are plates, I suggest getting a rack up front that has a crossover support over the wheel, or built one bending metal yourself. Good luck! ^_^

This is not required if you place the women's bikes on one of the first three mounting locations (closest to the back). Larger children's bikes and women's bikes fit easy there. If you want to place them inward toward the 4th and 5th positions, then yes, this is required.

Yes. I have my daughter's women's frame bike on one of them, although I have hers a little tilted downward because of the frame, so it doesn't look as straightforward as men's frames. That said, the supports are adjustable, and they have rubber covers to grip even at the odd angles, so it can handle women's frames.

There is an add on bar that you need for women's bikes, it works great. Haven't tried kids bikes though. I mostly haul my mountain bike and it's extremely sturdy on there. For really long trips I Bungy the lower frame to the trail hitch.

We have 2 adult size mountain bikes. One being Aluminum and the other Steel. The rack accomodates them very well.

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