Question:

Hi. Im looking at the swagman S64650 on your site, and I have a question about the center arm. How far down will the bottom arm travel? I am looking at purchasing a low entry bike and I would have to one of the arms VERY low for this bike. Any chance that you have that info? thanks.

Expert Reply:

The Specialized Low Entry you are planning on buying has an incredibly low cross tube on it. You can use the Swagman XC bike rack # S64650 with your bike but you will also need the adapter bar part # 64005 to provide a higher attachment point for the arms of the XC.

The arms of the XC can go pretty low, but since the cross tube of the bike rack is so short it's hard to say for certain if the arm would line up properly with the bikes frame.

The arms of the rack can go down to 15 inches.
