I just ordered the HRT220 f/2" hitch. I need to carry an ICE Trike SFX + regular 2-wheel Trek mountain bike. Am I on the right track?

yes - it can carry a trike and bike together. Look at the fourth setup in the instruction booklet http://hollywoodracks.com/instructions/hitch/HRT220-INSTRUCTIONS.pdf

I ride a Trek- Rock Shox, disc brakes front and rear. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! This rack rules.

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could alwaysinstall a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn'trecommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

I use one for a 19" Felt 29er full suspension mountain bike. You have to remove the rear derailleur, stem/bars, and fork to make it work. No need to remove the cabling. Just bend it around to make it lay flat. Cover it all with a blanket and rags to prevent scratching and it fits fine and with room to spare for shoes, spare tires, tubes tools etc. Best fitting case for my MTB so far. Thule case comes in second but with all of them you have to remove the fork for a 29er to fit in them.

Hi Lori, Ours holds both of our mountain/road bikes. Mine is a 16 inch Specialized (I'm short) and my husbands is a 25 in Gary Fisher. I don't see why it wouldn't hold your Trek unless its atypical.

We have put a 24 inch trike along side a 26 inch hybrid and the carrier works perfectly. Just be aware it is a 2 inch square hitch. The bikes are very secure. The rack is adjustable for width and length. My trike is not a Schwinn, but don't know why it wouldn't worked. We really like the carrier.

I have a Trek hybrid and looks like it would support a tube about twice the thickness of mine. My bar looks to be about 1.5 inch diameter.

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!

Yes , the carrier fits well into my receiver hitch. My cycle is a Honda 110 cc trail bike from the 70's & very light. I think your bikes would be to large for the vehicle carrying same. My vehicle is a 2500 series Chevrolet Truck , not a car.

Hi Dominic...Our carriers are designed to carry most bicycles. For those with no top tube or small frame size, similar to what it found on women's and children's bikes we do offer the 982XT frame adapter which allows these bikes to be mounted like a standard full size bike to the carrier.

I've ridden with the bag for 3300K mounted on a Trek EX8 full suspension and have had no problems though I've only taken it off road on slightly hilly nature park trails. Lots of roots to bounce over and the unit has never come loose. The rack is substantial and the locking mechanism has worked very well so far. I have their handlebar bag, too, and have no complaints regarding it either. The locking mechanisms are secure and easy to release. Torque the rack to the post to 6 Newtons, and you'll have no worries. I've had several different rack over the years, and this is the best particularly for a full suspension bike. Hope this helps.

I have a pedal assist trek bike and I also have this particular Yakima rack. I do carry the bike on the rack, however, I remove as much weight from the bike as I can, such as the battery and panniers and so far have not had any problems. Its a great rack, I love the tilt so I can open my hatch and I especially love how it folds up so neatly behind my vehicle. Also love the integrated locks that come with it. I originally wanted to purchase the Hollywood sport rider SE2 rack made specifically for electric bikes and it holds 80lbs per bike, however it only came in a 2" inch hitch size so I bought the Yakama and am very pleased.

I just got one of these trailers to connect to my Trek Mountain Bike and no, it does not work and the adapter is NOT universal. Your frame must be flat where the axel bolt meets the frame. Lots of mountain bikes actually have curved molding on the frame around where the bolt meets the frame. If your frame does not have apprx 1 1/2" diameter of flat frame from the center of the axle bolt hole, the mounting bracket will not work.

Yes, this box easily will take a road/tri bike. It fits my full suspension 29'er MTB without any problems with plenty of room for my helmet, shoes, water pack. The only thing I had to do was modify the pull strap by putting a piece of tubing to make it easier on my hands.

I tow an IceBear Magnum trike, it is a lot less weight than a Goldwing, at the cost of alternatives it is worth trying even if you beef it up or take it cautious. I tow mine to and from the shop or short range hauls, the shop owner was impressed to buy one for shop tow. Safety first!!

If you're using a Step through bike, get a frame adaptor. I think Thule makes a good one. But otherwise yes, it will work. Mine works great.

I carry to mountain bikes, no problem except for mounting them so both fit. I hang one like the instructions (horizontal) and the other vertical and tie them with bungee cords to the ladder so they don't shake. Also, when assembling be aware there are left and right sides. I installed mine wrong the first time.
