does this rack work with full suspension frames with disc brakes

It depends on your tire size. With 29" rims and 1.75" (45mm) tires, I found the rack to be slightly too minimal in clearance for effective riding. It does clear disc brakes, provided that your tires aren't overly large.

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

I looked at a few pictures of that bike and I am going to say that it will not. It does not look like the rear of the frame has the bolt holes to accommodate it, nor does it have the unused cantilever brake bolt holes to fit the top of the rack to. It MIGHT be possible to make it fit, but it may take a bit more hardware and some kludging.Mine is mounted on a Mongoose Comp Tyax 24-speed with disk brakes. It was a direct and easy bolt-on.

While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes. It uses a pretty straight-forward clamp that is intended to fit vertically at the rear-most part of the frame, right before the drop-outs: http://www.intownbicycles.com/images/bicycle-terms/bicycle-frame-tube-names.jpgSince this joint moves on many full suspension bikes the clamp would bind the joint.There are other potential gotchas like how cluttered the area is and the angles of the frame that are hard to predict fitment without familiarity with the bike specifics.-john While I don't have the specific bike in question, it should work on most bikes *except* full suspension bikes.

There should be a Non-disc brake option. Try this link Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack with Spring That should work for you.

The disc rack works for both disc and non-disc bikes as long as there are no fenders. The non-disc however, only works for non-disc bikes.

Yes I used it with several different types of bikes, road bikes, and heavy downhill bikes with out an issue. The only problem I had was that some of the mountain bike frames were to narrow for the head to get through and get grip on.

This rack fits standard mountain bike frames with tires 02 .25 inches, but if you mean the new very large and Fat tires I cannot say, also be aware that this rack might not accommodate Some bikes with disc brakes, my bike has disc brakes but it Fits okay but a little tricky to install. Very sturdy construction.

They worked fine on a 26 inch wheel. Get a frame that's wider for the disk breaks. I used Ibera PakRak Bicycle Touring Carrier Plus+ IB-RA5 (with disk brake mounts) Frame-mounted for heavier top & side loads and it works great... Just finished a bike camping trip and my rack was by far the best and sturdiest,, the racks about $30 Panniers have plenty of room..

Sorry but no they wont. They are competly different systems. The discs mount to the hub on the wheels which need to be designed for disc brakes. Your bikes frame must also be equipt with disc brake attatchments at the end of your forks and same for the back most bikes have this at the front end. All depends on the bike.

It should, as long as the rear frame is fairly 'normal', i.e. horizontal tube to the plate/tab the rear axle bolts on, and an angled piece up away from that. A frame with some rear suspension might have a smaller 'triangle' in that area, but should still work. It is a very adjustable kickstand, i've put them on 3 different bikes so far, and owned one that came with it.

You don't see very many mountain bikes with fenders. That being said, if the fender sits close to the tire then this rack would probably work. This rack is for models with disc brakes, but that just means it is a little wider and has spacers that are part of the rack to clear the caliper. It will work fine on non disc brake bikes, but it costs a bit more than the one for non disc brake equipped bikes. . The rear stays on a mountain bike can be a bit wider than those on a road bike, this may work to your advantage, but you may need to trim the spacers. The rack I see on most mountain bikes only attaches to the seat tube, Topeak makes a model like this. You don't see very many mountain bikes with fenders.

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

I have bought one of these racks recently for my full susp. mountain bike. Works well and looking at the Dahon i would think it would work fine. you get sent 3 different sizes of struts to suit the type of bike. you do need to buy the sides if you are taking panniers.

If you look at your bike there may be two small eyelets that are threaded to accept things such as this rack. They are on most bikes but not all so you should be certain that they are there on your bike. Should be right around the brakes unless you have disc brakes. You simply bend those arms that are sticking out straight to fit to your eyelets and install with the screw that is supplied with your rack.

I don't know for sure. I have a Kona Sutra with disk brakes. It really just depends on where the mounts are on the fork. I used washers for spacers, just enough to keep the rack from touching the fork and paint. The lower mount is on the front edge of the fork and I had to shift the lower rack piece that goes from the mount to the lower left in the picture to the outside to get the clearance I needed. Not hard to do, just took some time to figure it out.

I have two 29s that I put in this rack. It workss best if you load them with the back tire in the rack, side by side, and then use a strap to keep them from rocking too much. Without that, , the bikes will tip. With the strap, works like a charm.
