Question:

Childrens Bike Adapter for Kuat Sherpa 2.0, NV 2.0, and NV 2.0 Base Bike Racks - Qty 1 This accessory is listed for 20 inch wheels, and I believe works for 20-24 inch wheels. My sons bike has 18 inch wheels a Kent Abyss 18 inch. Any idea if it will work? I have not purchased the rack yet. If not, do you know of am 18 inch adapter for the Thule T2 pro XT?

Expert Reply:

The Children's bike adapter for Kuat Sherpa 2.0, NV 2.0, and NV 2.0 Base Bike Racks part # 016-025-00-00 minimum wheel diameter is 20" so it would not be compatible with your son's Kent Abyss with 18" wheels

The best option I can provide for you that I can ensure will work with the smaller diameter wheel is the Hollywood Racks part # HR200Z with the kid bike wheel hoops part # HRSW-ADP-2. These are the only adapters I have been able to find that works with a smaller than 20 inch diameter wheel. I recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock to protect your son's bike part # HRLHPTC.
