Rack shopping for Rivendells is my least favorite. There are so many things I need a rack to work around for my Rivendells. Long WB, fenders, step-thru… I have the 52 Clem (if memory serves, the WB is 52”) and the 55 Platypus, which is like 47.25in WB. I have the Saris Freedom 4 bike rack, but

Jacob, Hopefully no harm to bike or others. I had a Kuat beta and for a hanging bike rack, I though it was terrific. I now have a Saris Freedom (tray) and like it even better. The part that touches the frame has flexible channels for the wires to sit in, so very little actually touches

Looking for recommendations for a bike rack for a Prius for my fendered Betty. Lots of tray mount racks seem to not be made for fenders. And the hanging style would need a bar since my Betty is a step through. This isn't for my car. I don't like to drive. Thanks in advance. -- You

I highly agree, I love the options to fit many different wheelbases and sizes and types, fenders too! They also have a simple classic look, nothing fancy, just work well. If you get the big 4 bike one like I have, i recommend the floor dolly for that sucker to store it, its a bit heavy.

1up all the way. But if you live in Los Angeles don’t trust the lock and special Allen key that come with them. We have thieves here who can get them off your hitch without leaving a mark. I had a U-lock around mine andthe hitch for years and two weeks with it only locked up with the stock lock

If I was starting from scratch, I would probably go for the 1-Up racks that so many folks here recommend. Yeah, they look heavy a bit clunky, but they really do seem the best fit for all variety of bikes, especially the larger, longer wheelbase bikes and bikes adorned with racks, fenders, baskets,
