Bike rack for 27.5x3.0

(1/1)

autumnarch:
Are bike rack questions allowed here?  I’m building a CS-496 bike, with 27.5x3.0 tires. Has anyone used a Yakima frontloader with 3.0 tires?  Preliminary google results were pretty sparse. Just curious if I need to keep an eye out for a used high roller rack or I my front loader will work.

Carbon_Dude:
I use a Saris Superclamp EX Rack, works fine with 3.0" wide tires.  The Saris Freedom rack will work as well, if you are looking to spend less money.  You can also find the Saris rack discounted online.  If you get a Saris, make sure it has the wider cups to accommodate plus/fat tire bikes.  I've also noticed the weight of the Saris racks are less than most of the other popular brands.

Thanks for the tip. That rack looks pretty expensive, and my quick google search only showed hitch models. I need to use a roof rack version.  I’ve seen the Yakima high roller on the Facebook market place for around $150.  I’ll test out the 3.0 tires when I complete my bike build and report back.  I just ordered my frame and components yesterday.
