there too around this confusing and not fully explained

Howard I actually called and spoke to the owner this afternoon about the
bike rack. When I asked about the rollers he said it was a different
company and that this other company sells them but doesn't actually produce
them (the "other 1 up usa) I did notice they were both WI located
Sounds like it might be some kind of a partnership dispute. The new company is
11 miles up the road from the original.

Well that is interesting. I kind of wondered what was up with different
websites. I had read, I think, on a bike forum that one was an
international company and the other the USA domestic. Don't quote me on
that as my memory is fuzzy. So if the second site is the "real" company,
they don't
With all the rave reviews here for 1UP racks, I decided to go that route.
However, there seem to be two websites. Just wondering if anyone knows what
the story is? When I inquired, the inventor/founder said the other site is
using his trade name without permission.
This site still allows
Thanks Scott -- good to know that it *can* work in some cases.

I used a Kuat Sherpa with an Ebiusu with a M-12 front rack.

Looks like all the Kuat and Rocky Mounts platform hitches hook over the
front wheel :( so no front mini rack and Wald basket.

I'll also give a big thumbs up for the 1up racks. After a nuclear war, all
that will remain will be cockroaches, and the 1up racks. (Maybe a bit of
hyperbole, but seriously, they make most other racks I've owned or used
look kind of cheap and flimsy.)
The racks can be adjusted as to where
Might want to consider a Kuat, which also get highly rated. Another
similar option is the Rocky Mounts, which you can buy on Nashbar and save

Lots of love for the 1UP, and I like how compact it is when folded. But
son't those two wheel holders preclude having a small front rack with Wald
137 basket on the front?

I hear you about tight storage. I'm trying to find something that is sturdy
and easy to use, but that I can also fit in small shared garage space.

For several years, I've had the Thule Doulbletrack Rack that I think is a
generation earlier that the one you are inquiring about. I think you can
still buy it new

I have the 1Up and love it. Holds my mixte and 55mm tires bikes with ease.
Easy on and off. I can't imagine a. Ike it won't hold. Expensive, but the last
rack you'll ever have to buy.

+1 for the 1UP. If you get the single one (which can have another one or
two added for a total of 3), you don't even need to open it to get to the
rear door if you have an SUV. Must be the same with a car, but haven't
tested it. I leave mine on permanently and folded; no interference on my
I highly recommend 1UP. 100% MUSA. They sell adapters to work with fenders.
I also really like it because it's easy to take on and off. I usually leave
mine in the back of my car and only put it on the hitch when i'm going on a
bike ride, it's that easy.

I recently picked up the Thule Apex 4. Pricey but so far I have no
complaints. It has a knob to tighten a wedge in the receiver. fits 1-1/4"
or 2" by way of a bolt on adapter.
The LBS also has the Thule double track pro. They are great looking racks,
and seem to be reasonably priced.

I've used (and sell) Swagman racks. They worked well enough. I just got a
Thule Doubletrack Pro, and for bikes with fenders, baskets and bags, I
think it's the best. That's the ways it's worked for me anyway.

I use a Transit rack that I got for $200 from Performance a few years ago.
It looks exactly like the 2-bike version of the Hollywood rack that Weth
linked to above, and I love it except for one thing: I have to secure it
with a strap leading from the pole to the front edge of the trunk,
I have the Swagman XTC2 rack which is similar to the Hollywood one but IMO
the fit and finish on the Swagman is a little nicer. (I've owned both.)
I've had no issues with fenders, racks, or mixte frames, and I've even
hauled our Xtracycle Edgerunner (long tail cargo bike) with room to spare.
John,
The fix for mixtes (and kids bikes and bikes with extreme-sloping top
tubes) is a top tube adapter bar. They run $25-$40 usually. I think mine
are from Topeak, the maker of bike accessories, but Thule, Allen, Yakima,
and others make these adjustable-length bars with hooks or clips on
Thule Double Track Pro is a great choice for your bike. It is a better
design than the Yakima Two Timer in the way the Thule clamps work. Also,
Thule racks are EN tested to Euro standards so there is some baseline for
comparison with strict standards.
FWIW, REI Labor Day sale always has Thule
