Re: [RBW] Re: Car Racks & Rivs

Ben-

I also recommend the Hollywood sport rider.  The wheel wells are very
adjustable (for your different wheel bases), and the frame clamp is
secure.  The frame clamp may reach low enough to grab the mid-tube on your
wife's Betty, or you may want to add a clamp-on crossbar
.

The threaded hitch bolt on the Hollywood helps reduce sway.

Other racks with a similar tray-and-frame-clamp design:
Saris Freedom
Swagman XC and XTC

The big wheel holders on the Saris Thelma interfere with fenders, FYI.

Actually the adapter made it even harder.  It's always a bit of work to get 
the cradle through the  sloped tubes but that puts her bars above my rear 
seat.  With the adapter her bars and my seat or rear wheel want the same 
space.

Hi Hugh, 

   I tried a stem-to-seatpost adapter, but it just didn't seem secure 
enough, so I just tilt the frame and use the Betty's "top tube."

I had to remove one of the two water bottle cages. If we ever go somewhere 
she'll need two water bottles, I can always bring a cage & two bolts. Or 
use a couple of Randi Jo M.U.T's.

I've been really impressed by the Thule Apex 4. At first I was terrified to 
put our babies out back on the rack, but it's a right sturdy rack.

John,

Do you need an adapter to mount your wife's betty?

That's about the only thing I miss about having a pick'm'up truck, it's
great for hauling bikes around.
