hitch rack for bike with fenders

The long rear fenders on some bikes limit the racks which will work for these bikes and most of these racks will clamp onto the bike frame. The Thule Easy Fold comes highly recommended although it is quite expensive. It has a ramp to help in mounting bikes. It does have a clamp that attaches to the bike frame. Yakima also makes a rack that has a ramp. It also clamps down on the frame. I was concerned with damage to the paint by those racks that attach to the frame so I opted for the Saris Superclamp EX2 which clamps on the tires and also has straps to tie the wheels down to the tray. It is also a relatively light rack but can hold 2 54# ebikes. I have used it several times and it seems to hold the bikes securely. I had several dealers tell me that this rack wouldn't work for bikes with long fenders but I talked with Saris representatives and they assured my that it would. I look forward to hearing which rack you choose and if you are happy with the choice.
