Bike Rack Solution for Long Wheelbase Bike with Carbon Frame
Updated 04/20/2018 | Published 04/19/2018 >
Question:
I have a new hi end carbon fiber tandem. Is there a no frame contact hitch mounted rack that would handle this? I can swing the front handlebar, fork and wheel assembly backwards so the total wheelbase is 64

The only rack solution we'll have is going to be the Hollywood Racks Recumbent Platform rack part # HR1000Z-R which does use an arm to grab the bike by the frame's top tube, but what you can do is use the bike frame adapter part # UB01 for the bike rack to grab onto. This adapter grabs the bike by the seat post and the steering stem which will prevent your bike's frame from being contacted.
