So far my number one choice is the 1UP. it looks like it grabs the front wheel forward enough to not hit my front racks. The biggest front rack I have is the Pelago rack. It's quite expensive but looks like a lifetime piece of kit. Also seems to be sturdy enough to carry four heavier bikes, that's my only concern on a rack like the Swagman, for example that has the racheting hook that grabs the top tube, is that it can't hold the weight of four heavy bikes. My 12 year old is riding a 22" mountain bike frame already, so large bike are many years in my future.
I thought the North Shore looked cool but I don't think the "hooks around the headtube" method will work with my basketed bikes. That said, I'm interested in hearing others' experience.
