Carry tandem on hitch mounted bike rack
Does anyone know if it is ok to carry a tandem on a hitch mounted bike
rack? Perhaps having both wheels taken off? |

Carry tandem on hitch mounted bike rack
I looked into it at some point... with both wheels taken off it would
just fit. But instead I ended up getting a Topper (?) rack on sale for $150 or smth... totally happy with it. Granted, I already had the bars installed and two other roof racks for singles. the car looks really cool with 2 singles and 1 tandem. wrote: wrote: Does anyone know if it is ok to carry a tandem on a hitch mounted bike rack?

Carry tandem on hitch mounted bike rack
wrote in message oups.com... Does anyone know if it is ok to carry a tandem on a hitch mounted bike rack? Perhaps having both wheels taken off? I saw a guy with a GMC Yukon (large SUV), that had a hitch mount rack with a large rack on it. At first I didn't know what it was, but later I saw that he had put a tandem onto the rack and it made sense then. basically the rack sits in the center and runs at about a 60 degree angle up. When he puts the bike on in one piece, he slides it on up the rack, does something to hold the rear wheel on. Then off he goes. it looks pretty neat albeit pretty spectacular. it could have been one of the Draftmaster Bicycle Rack Systems, I am not sure. I don't remember if he had to take the front wheel off or not. http://www.draftmaster.com/t.html This is neat as you only have to remove the front wheel to mount and carry a tandem. So anyway there might be another tandem rack out there like this Draftmaster model that lets you tie on the bike as one piece, but I haven't seen it yet on the internet. It could also be a special custom rack from Draftmaster too. |

Driving on a parkway with this thing stickng out from the back could be prohibited. I once mounted a ski rack this way and got busted. |
