Question:

My bicycle has fenders. The front wheel fender extends 7inch from the front fork to its end. Will the wheel locking bar on that side of the RKY10007 still work? The videos and photos Ive seen only show bikes without front fenders. I dont want to clamp down on the fender as it will likely deform. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

For your bike that has a short fender the best single bike rack solution would be the Saris MHS Bike Rack part # SAR23MR which holds the tires further out from the RockyMounts you referenced as well as other options.

Most of the time tire mounted bike racks can't be used with fenders but this Saris is a rare exception to that and is an overall really nice and solid rack that I would recommend highly for you.
