Since the issue of public transport has arisen, and people are concerned about how longer chainstay bikes will fit onto trains & buses, my question is:
How much variation in wheelbase can be accommodated by typical bus racks & train hangers? E.G., the difference in wheelbase between my old '03 Atlantis & a current model 58 cm is roughly 3/4". A generous / crazy / whimsical doubling of that for the MIT version makes it only an 1-1/2" longer. Surely the typical rackage on a bus should handle several inches of variation when you think about all the different kinds of bikes commuters use. I've never used a bus rack so I may be missing something. Experience users input welcome. dougP On Monday, March 19, 2018 at 3:10:48 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > The BLUG today announced an upcoming pre-sale for a less expensive > Atlantis.
