Most definitely. This product requires a rack over the rear wheel in order to have a point for attachment. Further, you will need to make sure that it has good points for attachment of the bags on the side. I personally use the topeak MTX tubular rack with spring (the spring arm will fit through the holes under the top bag to help secure it). You can get a beam rack with tubes to support the panniers, but those have weight limitations to them, and if you get this sort of bag, you probably want to carry a lot of stuff.

Yes. It comes with all the hardware to mount the rack to your frame. On top and bottom.

Most bike come with the mounts on them. If you do not have them, then you will need them to mount.Thank you

Yes if you have a woman's bike you will need the bar that fits under your seat and attaches to the handle bar so that your bike can be mounted on the bike rack. I really like my bike rack

I don't know for sure. But I do not think so. The bikes are fairly close to the back. Around 2 feet maybe, maybe less. My buddy has the four place bike rack. As long as you didn't need to take four bikes. It would allow for the extra room you might need.

I don't think it'll mount to the front of a bike or to the rear without a rack. It has two bars with threaded holes for allen head machine screws.

No problems without a rack. The rack mount ears are not attached when you get the unit, they can be attached if you do have a rack.

depends...do your bikes fit in it? If your bikes will fit in your bed, you should have no problem using this rack. you can also look this item up on youtube for a better understanding of how it works. good luck

You get everything you need. The bike rack is great! I ordered the 4 bike stand. They are pretty much individual stands that bolt together very easily. Mine took about 5-8 minutes to be completely set up. Works great - would definately recommend this bike rack.

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

It depends on how high your seatpost is--the bike attaches to seatpost, so if you are tall, you might be able to keep the rack on (depending on how long it is). THere is about 8.5" of clearance on mine between my tire and the post for the wee rider. I could see a rack being there, although it would really be usable.

You have to purchase the bike racks separately. They mount on top of the carrier. If you just want a bike rack just buy them by themselves.

No. As long as you bought the bike mount and base support system you should be fine.

You need a straight bar across your bike or a special attachment to fit it onto this rack. Our girls bike did not work, we had to buy a straight bar to attach to the bike.

you might find a rack 1st, that you like,and then ask the manufacturer of the rack if it will install on this particular bike.other than that, it may be hit or miss,installing your/a rack onto this bikemarc

No, it doesn't need a rear rack at all. It actually provides its own rear rack, behind the seat. But the seat itself is kept above the wheel by the rods below it and by the attachment to the main seat stem. I had a lot of trouble getting the bike mounted on my bike, though...Some bikes work better for it than others.
