When it gets heavy, It is hitting the front tire and front breaks. Any idea which additional bar/rack to buy to fix this issue?

There is a metal part which distances the basket from the stem. Also I use it with an electric kick scooter so the wheel is way down

The only issue I had with this, was the screws on each of the sides. At first they would hit my factory roof rack bars when I would go over a bump. I placed a small piece of electrical tape over the screw and the problem was solved. The item may be wider than your factory rack so you may not have that issue.

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.

Front Shock. Rears are different. Use the Look Up Make and Model, will help. Cheers. Ken.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

No clue. A leg on mine broke in about 2 months. I would look for a new rack all together.

It's not very sturdy. I have an SUV and sometimes the bikes on the rack would shift weight when taking the turns and I felt they were going to fall off. I would not recommend this purchase.

I didn't have any problems with the front wheels. Not sure what the problem could be. So sorry you've been having problems with yours.

It's a better idea to use a strong bungee cord or two to secure a bike to a car rack and to keep the front tire from bouncing around. There's an excellent set here, on AMAZON.COM that would be an excellent choice. Low price and Prime eligible, the ASIN # B009ONI2B8. If I weren't so happy with the cables I have, I would order this set with various lengths of extra strong bungee cords. Good luck.

I drilled holes into the floor, inserted threaded sleeves that lay flush and then bolt the rack when needed. Be sure to use tie down straps and compress the front forks as far as possible. I didn't do this enough once and my bike broke loose and damaged my wife's tank with my handlebars.

in between mountain bike and regular tires. The bike is a pos though. I already returned it and went to a real bike store. Save yourself some aggravation, go to a real bike shop.

The spec says 300lbs. The 2" tubes are very strong. If just static weight for what you are going to do is OK. But it will be moving, acceleration and brake and turns, You better have rubber bumper to stop the rack from moving left and right, front and back. It comes with a bumper for the rear end at bottom. But I would put more on the upper, also for the front cross bar too.

Cherokee might be pushing the weight limit on this bar. You might need the higher end bar.

It has an attachment that comes around the side and you use the nut and bolt that comes with it and have to really, really tighten it. I had to use an adjustable wrench to get it super tight. Once I did get it to a point where it would no longer turn any more, and I actually put all my weight on it and jumped up and down on it, I wanted to make sure it was not going to budge. The cheap stuff I bought before broke so I didn't want it to do the same thing. And this has my husband's clothes on it and it holding about 100-125 lbs just on that middle bar. And has been on it now for a couple of months without any slippage. I absolutely LOVE these racks.

Sorry, I really cannot answer, too many thing can effect the area between the rack and the tire/back of the vehicle

I had the same issue. Call Baby Jogger; they'll replace the front wheel if you're still under warranty.
