Caution: There are bike frames that make using this carrier very easy, or more difficult. Further, bike
frames, tire size, and handle bar designs influence how many bikes can be placed on any bike rack. We
can not promise swinging bikes on this rack will not chip paint or cause other unseen problems. You
the customer have the responsibility in properly fitting bikes on this carrier.
