Hi people,

Just looking for any recommendations for a bike rack that will fit smaller framed road and TT bikes.

I've got a Planet X Exocet (small) and a Cervelo S1 (51) and the two racks I've tried so far have the arms too far apart and can not fit my bikes onto them.

Anyone know of a bike rack model or manufacturer that has narrow prongs to allow fitment?

Cheers,

Dru

    Have a look at the Saris Bones. I'm not sure of measurements but I got my wifes bike on & that was a Scott 52.

    Oh he means cycle carriers.

    For a horrible minute I had visions of a S1 with a rack on the back and a picnic hamper :-)

    Saris Gran Fondo might be worth looking at.
    More problems but still living....

    I remember when I often had my MTB and 2 kids bikes on a cheapo Halfords carrier on the back of the car. The smaller frames would mean having one of the carrier arms behind the seatpost and supporting the bike by the seatstays, kind of nose downwards. Inelegant but effective.

    Unfortunately the TT bike has a disc, so I think the wheel fitment will not work :(
