Can an 11 year old manage her bike and her board with this rack. Doesn't it make the weight distribution uneven?

She should be fine. While it does make the bike alittle unbalanced towards the right it is nothing she shouldn't be able to handle.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

We do not use it with a fat bike. However, we do maintenance on my cruiser on the bike rack and sometimes the weight of that on the stand is a little iffy.

No, not very much without the board tipping over. Also, the angle of the support in back doesn't allow the board to be less upright. So if you want it to be more horizontal, this won't work for you.

No with the bike loaded it makes it very heavy to do so. Can do it with rack only no bikes.

Yes. The only "problem" I've had is with my son's training wheels on his 16" bike. It is also a bit of a stretch to mount the bike on the frame, so I go through one wheel and the frame under the seat. Adding a bungee cord for security is also a good idea. But I have really transported two children's and one adult bike on this rack.

If you're very handy, you may be able to add wheels. I just wonder if the overall size and the wood tray in the middle may cause it to be a little unbalanced if wheeled around.

You can buy the straight bar attachment for cruisers/women's bikes, but I can tell you from experience a cruiser will fit on this rack it just sits in a awkward position but is stable.

Yes and it's a little larger than what I have seen on other balances bikes! When she got comfortable with balancing she would rest her feet. Because of this balance bike she is riding her regular bike without training wheels, it's awesome!!

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

Most likely unless it was a very light bike. The tongue weight is high on this- basically almost 50%, also you really need a pair of widespread attach point for straps ( bars to bumper) or bike will flop side to side.

Depending on how much space is between the bars, you can sometimes slide it right on like normal. We have also put the bike so the bar sits on top I'd this. When doing that the back tire sticks up in the air while the front tire is nose down. Carrying more than one girls bike we alternate directions of the bikes so they fit better. Seems more secure when we have at least 1mens bike in the rack, not all women's, but even then, we have been able to stabilize with a bungee cord.

It can, but they will be pretty close together. I don't like my bikes to rub against each other, so I usually will only Cary one adult bike and one kid bike on his rack.

Sure does everytime I have used it (5+ times) we have put me and my wife's full sized bikes on the rack no problem. Both bikes are cheapos and weigh a lot but we've had no problems.

I wouldn't attach it to a 9 year old's bike unless you want to leave her behind on the ride. If we're in a group, we attach it to the strongest person's bike so we can ride together.

The carrier is large... If the bike rack is large enough to support it is the question... We had to connect a small board across our scooter rack so the carrier didn't shift and slide to the side. This solved the problem for us, and we use it quite often.

I believe that it would work. Working would depend on severity of slanted rail. The bike would not be level on storage rack as the back wheel would be much higher than the front. This unevenness would make the bike more difficult to load and unload.If slanted rail isn't too extreme, storage rack might be okay.

Yes. Although with the bikes in the rack it may be hard to reach the footswitch that allows that.
