Question:
I have a touring bike and it has fenders and a front rack with a platform that I use for panniers and a handlebar bag. Will the arm on the Sherpa 2.0 fit on the front wheel of the bike?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Pretty much any bike rack that holds the bikes strictly by the wheels like the Kuat Sherpa # SH12G is not going to be a good choice for a bike with fenders.
A better option for your bike is the Swagman Chinook # S64683 that holds the bike by wheels using cradles and straps and then by the frame using a ratcheting hook. The Chinook also has a higher weight capacity than the Kuat, at 45 pounds, plus includes locks for the rack and the bikes.
