I have a cruiser or bike with long fenders. Will it work with your rack?

The fenders on cruisers may come in contact with the basket and/or the top bar, which can cause dings or damage to the fenders. To prevent this there are a few work arounds that may be effective. However, without testing the individual bike, we can not determine clearance of your fender.

  • Some people choose to remove the fenders when using the basket.
  • Others opt to place a soft padding between the fender and the basket to avoid any damage to the fenders.
  • Some fenders do fit between the tire and the basket with between 5/16″ and 1/2″ clearance.
  • The kickout may push the rear wheel out enough to not contact.
