Can the Saris SuperClamp EX Hold a 20 Inch Kids Bike and Adult Bike Side by Side
Updated 04/28/2016 | Published 04/25/2016
Question:
Can this rack accommodate a 20inch and 27.5inch bike at the same time? It looks like the sliding wheel clamps for the two bikes are mounted to the same arms, which would make this difficult. Thanks.

The hooks on the Saris SuperClamp EX bike rack # SA4025F are on different tracks, though they are on the same arm, so that they do not interfere with each other and so that you can have different sized bikes loaded next to each other. Take a look at the picture I have included showing the different tracks for the hooks.
The arms the hooks slide up and down on can only pivot so far so you would need to slide the wheel trays appropriately so that the arm is in a good position for the hooks to clamp down on both bikes. This amount of adjustability will make this rack compatible with an adult bike and smaller kids bike placed side by side.
I have linked a video review of this bike rack for you.
