Question:
I am looking for a platform hitch bike rack for a tandem. The wheel base on the bike is 66inch and the wight is 50 lbs. We have a two inch receiver on our truck.

Expert Reply:
f the overall length of your tandem bike is greater than 80 inches or the wheel diameter is more than 29 inches, then, because of the weight of your bike, the best option that we have for your bike is the Thule Tandem Roof Mounted Bike Rack, # TH558P. This roof mounted bike rack requires Thule standard crossbars to fit on a vehicles roof.
If you are interested in the Thule Roof Rack, just send me the year, make and model of your vehicle and I can check to see if we have a roof rack available for you.
All of our other hitch mounted bike racks cannot support the wheel base and weight combination of your tandem bike.
