Any issues mounting this rack on a bike with disc brakes?

Yes. This is not meant to be used on a bike with disc brakes. They make special racks for bikes equipped with disc so you really should look for one of them. Just search "bike rack disc " and you should find them.

Axiom makes a similar rack SPECIFICALLY made for bikes with disc brakes. That one will NOT work. Axiom Journey "Disc Brake Compatible" Rear Rack

Super easy install on a 2013 Salsa Vaya. No reason to pay more for a "disc brake" special rack that has a lower rated carrying capacity. Took less than 5 minutes to intall. May not fit all disc brake bikes, but no fit issues whatsoever on my Salsa Vaya. FWIW.

I haven't tried this one on a bike with disc brakes but I highly suspect that it wouldn't work. I have recently purchased a different rack for one of my bikes that does have disk brakes and it has spacers at the bottom to allow it to work with the disk brakes.

It also works with my Raleigh Sojourn which has disc brakes. My friend rides a Surly Disc Trucker and he also uses this rack.

I do not know the particulars of your bike, but most bikes have the same mounting holes. This topeak is for diskbrakes. If you do not have disk brakes, you have to order the other style. There are some good videos on youtube showing the mounting

If you mean such as a Cruiser Bike I don't see a problem. I carry a mountain bike and that has fat tires. Hope this helps. You will love this rack.

Yes. I've driven 200 miles on the freeway with my road bike on the rack and had no problems. Make sure the tire is centered under the arm and that the arm is pulled tight to the tire right next to the front brakes.

Yes, just slide the wheel trays inward. Height should be ok, as I think the center post is high enough, but I haven't put a regular bike on the rack. I don't have one or I'd try...

As noted below, this is for disk brakes. The rack has plenty of clearance for the rear fender. I own Planet Bike Cascadia 29er fenders and was able to mount the rack no problem. In fact, it was extremely easy to mount and tweak it to fit perfectly. Good luck.

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. The only "problem" I've had is with my son's training wheels on his 16" bike. It is also a bit of a stretch to mount the bike on the frame, so I go through one wheel and the frame under the seat. Adding a bungee cord for security is also a good idea. But I have really transported two children's and one adult bike on this rack.

I did not have that problem on either of the bikes I used it on. One has cantilever brakes, the other has side pull types. The tapered bottom of the bag keeps it out of the way.

Most forks, even for disc brakes, will have a mounting hole for this rack. You may need to get longer bolts to work with a fatbike fork.

You'll want to get the IB RA5 model for a bike with disk brakes. I highly recommend this rack-it is good and sturdy.

I've got this rack on a Surly which has Caliper brakes. This rack is adjustable so I can't imagine why it wouldn't fit a bike with disc brakes. good luck

Yes, there could be a problem with that depending on the size of your bikes. It rubbed on mine. But even more of a problem is the design of the rubber pieces to securely hold the bike to the rack. The straps are not well designed. They are too short and very hard to pull over the bike tube and hook. I would not recommend this rack. I now use it to hang my A frame ladder and, after we are parked, it is also used to hang wet clothes!

I have three of these racks, all of them supporting heavy "beach cuisers" in vertical positions. I would suggest mounting the rack at a height that allows the bike to rest on the rear tire, thereby taking some of the weight off the rack. This has kept a lot of stress off the rack(wall) as well as the front wheel. I've not had any visible damage to any of my front wheels.

Yes. I lowered it slowly but the rack had no problems. The bikes didn't touch the ground for me that I remember.

None that I know of. We have two bikes with no problem and that is what it is setup for. The mounting bolts were too short so I had to get new ones.

I am not familiar with your bike but I'll explain how it fits on my Giant Revolt. The width at the rear wheel connection over my disc brakes is about 6 1/2 inches. It's about 14 inches from the center of this connection to the bottom of the rack for plenty of wheel clearance. The front support on my bike is over 4 inches below the level of the rack. The front supports bow downward in an arc from the front of the rack to the connection point on the bike frame. This makes a very solid connection. I hope this info helps.
