Hey Beth, thanks for reaching out. The Swagman Chinook Bike Rack #S64683 works well with step thru bikes like your Townie 7D Step-Thru, but there are a few things to consider. First, it is a frame mount rack, so your fenders will not be an issue. I…
Hey Erin, thanks for reaching out! In order to lock your bikes to the Benton Platform Rack #B54FR you'll need to use a standard cable lock, and for that I recommend the etrailer Cable Lock #e98891 because it has a 10' length so you have…

There are several differences between the Swagman XC, #S64650, and the Swagman XTC, #S64670. First, the XC uses a different type of wheel loop than the XTC. While it is a solid and sturdy wheel loop, the ones used on the XTC are not only a different…
Your bike that has a thicker tube will fit on the Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Rack #S64671. The frame hooks of the XTC-2 will easily accommodate that size of tube, and will retract down far enough in order to grasp the frame. You will need to place…
The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style part #S64650 will fit the 2015 Honda CR-V as long as you have a hitch on your vehicle. However, the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack is not a tilt-away rack so you need to remove the bikes from the rack to get into the…
