[RBW] Re: Saris Freedom and Clem 64

[maxcr]

Thanks Nick, this is super helpful! I'm picking up the bike tomorrow and 
I'll report back this weekend - fingers crossed since I know the bikes have 
grown long over the years and the latest iterations are very long (which 
ironically is part of the reason I'm getting it)

PS. I also managed to track down a bike store in Wisconsin that had an 
extension 
bar 

 
from Saris meant for recumbents that seems to solve the problem. The issue 
is they aren't made anymore and nobody locally had them in stock.
here is the description: "Add Saris' Freedom Long Wheelbase Bar to your 
Saris Freedom rack (sold separately) to carry an extra long wheelbase 
bicycle like a tandem or recumbent. The rack holds two bikes of up to 35 
pounds each, and the Long Wheelbase Bar holds a bike that measures up to 57 
inches axle to axle."

I’ve gotten my 64 to fit in an older version of that rack - you can make it 
work, but the tires won’t quite fit down in the tray. It’s secure, if not 
confidence-inspiring.

I recently upgraded to a 1up and it’s dreamy - plenty of space for all that 
wonderful wheelbase!
