Expert Reply:
Yes, it can Lou. The wheel cradles on the Benton LittleShift Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # B54VR will work with tires up to 4" wide. The straps on the cradles will have no issues synching down on your 1.77" wide tires.
What kind of bikes do you have?

Hey Lou, did the Benton LittleShift Bike Rack work well for your bike with the narrow tires? I'm curious because it could help others with similar bikes make a decision.
