Will the BikeWing Hold a Fat Bike with 3 Inch Knobby Tires
Question:
Hello! I just purchased Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4inch - 24899 for my 09 accord and you all have recommended the following rack - Lets Go Aero BikeWing-2 2-Bike Rack - 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches - Horizontal Wheel Mount Item # B01311 . Im wondering if you might tell me if this rack will accept at least this bike, as it is my primary at the moment...I have 2 of them but will not carry them together...but if I ride pavement vs. rough terrain Ill carry one or the other: I have the Huffy Warhawk one bike has the stock 3.0 knobby tires for terrain riding and the other bike has the 2.3 smooth, fast rolling tires for pavement riding. Will this bike fit in this rack? Thank you in advance.

In order to use the BikeWing # LGA54FR with a fat bike like the Huffy Warhawk I recommend using the fat bike adapter # BMP038. However, it is possible you may not even need the adapter. According to the specs on that bike the tires are 3 inches wide. It would be very tight on the standard cradles and straps on the BikeWing but could work. But if it were me I would go ahead and add the adapter # BMP038 to ensure you have no problems.
