Question:
Will this work with a 20inch beach cruiser with a small front fender? I also have a cruiser with 3 Inch wide tires, will the trays accomodate that as well.

Expert Reply:
The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, item # TH83JV, will accept up to 5 inch wide tires but, unless you have over 1 inch of clearance between the fender and the front tire on your cruiser with a fender, you will not be able to secure the bike safely.
Another option for both of your cruisers would be the 2 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Trailer Hitches - Wheel Mount, item # S64650, as long as the weight of each bike is not over 35 pounds. This rack will accept tires up to 3-1/2 inches wide and secures the bikes at the frame in the center of the bike rather than at the front wheel.
