Can it be used on a rear bike rack?

The clip attachment to the handlebars will not be any use but you could attach the basket to a rear carrier using the strap provided. I mounted mine to the front but put a board under the basket on the carrier (having removed the spring mechanism) for extra stability and used some cable ties to stabilise the basket.

I mounted it to the luggage rack on the back of my bike...don't see how else you could do it.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact we took the cover off of our wheel and the bike rack is mounted directly on the tire. Works great!

Probably, the only question would be is do you have disc brakes on the rear. If you do them no it would not. Other then that as long as your bike has the mounting holes, this rack should work. I forget which bike we put this rack on but, I do remember having to drill a hole and tap it to accommodate one of our bike/rack combinations.

Yes, I would think that it can be used on virtually any rack as the velcro straps are long enough to adjust as you need. I use this on a Surly LHTDon a Bontrager rack and leave on always and I ride every day, suggest getting the cover as it fits well. Only complaint is the black fades in the sun, but performs well.

I suppose it could, its certainly not the intended purpose. You might be better off looking for hitch mounted bike rack. Weight capacity varies according to your vehicle.

I have never done that with the basket and it is not mentioned in the directions that it can be used that way. However, I suppose that it could be secured to a rear bike rack somehow. One would have to figure out a safe way to attach it since there are no tie downs specifically for that purpose.

You could, but you'd have to find a way to keep it firm. The rack itself is solid, but the bike is suspended in two heavy plastic grooves. It can swing from side to side gently.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

That is something I do not know clearly about. The best way to figure this out, would be to search this rack's fitting capabilities to your individual bicycle via the internet.

Yes, we need it for my wife's bike but maybe the angle on your bike is not as much as her Trek bike. If that is the only bike going on the rack, I guess you could, not sure, but I would want it balanced on the rack. I really like mine and it worked even with my fairly wide spare tire for my Jeep.

I doubt it. It is made to fit rear of most standard bikes. The bike itself has the mounting holes on it from the factory, rack is designed to fit factory made holes. I believe they do sell ones for the front though

I believe you could, but since I have watched a friend work on his bike I don't think this will give you the freedom to move around like a rack that is made for repairs. I would not buy it for that purpose.

This is a very good rack and it would probably work fine on the front as long as you still had clear vision ahead. I would check with your local and destination police to see if this may be unlawful in that State. The bikes set lower on this rack than most due to the curvature of the wheel support tubes. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. This bike mount only works on bikes with Thin Downtube. if yours it's thicker, it will not work.

Yes, but only if you mount it on the top of the frame so it's hanging down. It depends on how large the bike is as well.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance
