Question:
Will this rack work with a 2001 subaru forrester?
asked by: Linda C
Expert Reply:
According to our friends at Yakima, the SuperJoe Pro 2 Bike rack you referenced, part # Y02629 will indeed fit your 2001 Subaru Forester.
If your Forester is equipped with the rear window wiper, make sure you DO NOT use it with the rack in place.
For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like the Yakima Tube To, part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
