Question:

Is the quoted compatible wheelbase of bikes for the Saris Door County a hard 48inch or can I squeeze a slightly longer wheelbase bike on the Door County?

Hey John, the max wheelbase number of the Saris Door County Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # SAR42RR officially is a hard number of being a max 48 inch wheelbase...but how long is your wheelbase? I am sure there's some wiggle room but it's hard to say exactly where that line might be. If you tell me what you have I can check with Saris and see what they think.

@John 49.5 centimeters wouldn't be a problem for this rack as it can handle 48 inches...did you mean to type inches? What bike is it?

@JamesonC I did mean to type inches, not centimeters

@John That makes more sense. I wish it was the case that you could stretch the max wheelbase but we can't guarantee the Saris bike rack would work well if you did so. There's chance it could maybe work but it's never been tested so it's hard to say how it would go. What is it about this bike rack that got your interest?
