Expert Reply:

The Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack part # Y02443 is a wheel mount bike rack which cannot be used with bikes that have fenders. The reason for this is because the wheel hooks would have to be positioned too far forward on the tire because of the fenders so you run risk of them coming off and losing your bike. Instead, I recommend using the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR which is a frame mount so you can use this with bikes that have fenders no problem. The Sport Rider SE2 like the HoldUp 2 has bike/hitch locks for security, a folding/tilting design for ease of use, but can accommodate a much greater variety of bikes such as fat tire/electric/kids etc.
