Default Carry tandem on hitch mounted bike rack


wrote in message
oups.com...
Does anyone know if it is ok to carry a tandem on a hitch mounted bike
rack? Perhaps having both wheels taken off?


I saw a guy with a GMC Yukon (large SUV), that had a hitch mount rack with
a large rack on it.
At first I didn't know what it was, but later I saw that he had put a tandem
onto the rack and it made sense then.
basically the rack sits in the center and runs at about a 60 degree angle
up.
When he puts the bike on in one piece, he slides it on up the rack, does
something to hold the rear wheel on.
Then off he goes. it looks pretty neat albeit pretty spectacular.
it could have been one of the Draftmaster Bicycle Rack Systems, I am not
sure. I don't remember if he had to take the front wheel off or not.
http://www.draftmaster.com/t.html This is neat as you only have to remove
the front wheel to mount and carry a tandem.
So anyway there might be another tandem rack out there like this Draftmaster
model that lets you tie on the bike as one piece, but I haven't seen it yet
on the internet.
It could also be a special custom rack from Draftmaster too.
