Would the Saris Mini Mite Bike Stand part # SA6213 work with a Bike with Disc Brakes

Question:
Have you tried storing bikes with disc brakes? Your video didnt show putting in the 29er with disc brakes. Would the discs hit the metal parts of the stand? Thanks.

The 29 inch wheel bike with disc brakes had too tall of a tire to fit all the way into the Saris Mini Mite Bike Stand part # SA6213 but it was able to be slid enough into the rack that it would balance and the disc brakes didn't interfere. I attached the video you referenced.
If you have a smaller tire size that would fit all the way into the rack like a 26 inch wheel you would need to compare the 2-3/4 inch slot size that this rack has to your bike to determine if the disc brakes of your bike would interfere. In the video Matt uses the middle section of the rack for a bike, this would be an option for a bike with disc brakes that wouldn't fit into the 2-3/4 inch slots.
