Hey Ecimale, the Saris Edge Bike Rack part # SAR74YR that you referenced can be used with bikes that have fenders due to the angle the wheel clamp grabs the tire and the fact it's spring loaded. No need to buy an adapter! What kind of bike do you have?

When using the Saris edge bike rack sar74yr with a bike with fenders, does the front wheel clamp latch on to the fender or to the wheel?

@Joe You would always want the clamp to grab the wheel and not the fender.

@JamesonC Thank you for your reply. While this rack will likely work for mine and my wife’s e bikes it won’t work for her pedal bike as the fender wraps around the wheel about 18”

@JoeB A rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 would be a better option as it grabs the bike by the frame and not the tire so the fenders wouldn't interfere.
