Re: [RBW] OT: Advice on trailer hitch mounted bicycle racks
I have had a thule drop down hitch rack for about ten years. This is the one that the wheels set in trays and it is secured in back with a rim strap and in front with an adjustable hook in the front. I have had no porblem with it and use it 4 times a week. If I was going to buy a new one I would look at the Kuat. Those are pretty cool on of them has an integrated clamp bike stand on the rack. My two cents... On 9/24/12, Horace max...@sdf.lonestar.org wrote: We did this to our Honda Fit.

Does that mount work on fenders? I was afraid it would been them. Steel fenders anyway. Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

No It wouldn't work on fenders. The hook clamps onto the tire to hold the bike in place On Tue, Sep 25, 2012 at 10:06 AM, Kelly tkslee...@gmail.com wrote: Does that mount work on fenders?
