Hey Dude, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes, both Gray # Y78QD and Black # Y53QD, have provisions for wheelbase adjustments. The hook that secures the front tire can be rotated to different angles, and the rear strap can be slid along each of the bases in order to match up with wheelbases from 30” to 52”.
I'm attaching a video showing the bike rack in action, and if you jump to the 6:30 minute mark you can see AJ explaining all of the straps and hooks on the bike rack.
Let me know if you need anything else!

Hey Dude, how did the wheelbase adjustments on the Yakima StageTwo rack work out for your bikes? It’d be great to hear if the range from 30" to 52" covered everything you needed. Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same rack.
