I'm new to bikes and don't understand biker lingo, but what do I look for in a bike rack and will this fit my Trek Verve 2?

Judging from the online photos of said bicycle(you claimed to own) I notice your model bike hereby lacks the rear mounting bolts of my bicycle-which is how my Planet Bike Eco rear rack is connected.You might want to ask an expert bikeperson if such a part is compatible with your bicycle in spite of said absentee feature!Aso,when I looked for a rear bike rack I sought out the highest maximum weight compacity possible and compatible/durable baskets to outfit it with!I hope this information was helpful!

I already had an Eco Rack on my granddaughters' bike and it is as sturdy as the description says. I cannot say about any specific application, but its' mounting system seems to be quite adjustable for different situations.

This is a great rack. We own several Diamondback, Schwin, and Mongoose bikes (road and mountain), and all fit with plenty of room to spare. I don't know for sure about 29ers though.

it comes with hardware that makes it attach to almost any 26" or 700c bike (it's very large on a small frame), I don't know if it fits a 29er with 2.25" tires & I know it doesn't work for a "fat bike" the tire just won't clear the rack. There's a bracket that makes it fit to either the rails on a seat or to create bosses on a frame that has no rack stay bosses. It is hard to level but, it is HUGE! 4 12 packs of soda with room to spare huge.

Topeak has an excellent site -www.topeak.com Your bag will fit on all three. The difference in racks is how they are made to fit over the rear tire. They all clamp to the seat post: the E extends straight out, so if your tire sits higher than where you attach it, the E will not fit on the bike; the A slants up before it goes parallel to the ground, so it clears a high rear wheel like that on most road bikes (I use this on my tandem -small stoker); the V slants down (large frame road or bike with small wheels. Mostly you want the one that sits closest to the wheels, especially if you throw your leg over the rear wheel to mount the bike. Look at your seatpost and where you would clamp this on and figure out if you can extend straight out or need to go up or down to just clear the wheel. They all mount and work the same, it's just about wheel clearance. I have all three, the A I bought first and have no use for as it sits way too high and I can't straddle my commuter, so I ended up getting the E.

Not really sure, but my toe clips fit on my bike pedals. I remove the reflector and then the bracket and toe clip is held on with bolts to the pedal itself. they could be modified to fit any pedal I would think. I use mine on a Schwinn roadmaster and a sidewinder. I did have to modify on the different bikes that I have had, but it was a very simple process. I'm sorry I know much about the verve trek bikes, it really comes down to the pedal itself I believe.

I believe that is how mine connects. It's a Trek bike. It has two clamps that are bolted onto the frame. The seat has a metal underpinning that fits into the two clamps.

i mounted my topeak explorer rack on a magna exciter 26 inch. your bike i am not familiar with so you would probably be better off asking a mechanic or technician. sorry, i am not able to help you.

the topeak explorer bike rack has adjustable parts and should be able to fit on all bikes.

Sorry, but I only have experience with Adams Trail a Bikes and the connection system they use. Have you checked the Trek site or check with a dealer if one is close by. Sorry not more help,

It worked on my Trek Wahoo that has quick release wheels and disc brakes. I had to open it up a little but if you get it open a little it fits nicely. The only other thing was the two silver 'arms' that attach to the frame. There was a little bending to get them to line up with the holes on the frame to secure the rack to the frame under the seat. I am very happy with this rack and the pannier bag I ordered from Amazon.

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.

it is a general sized rack that adjusts to most bikes. two bikes are a bit tricky to fit, but it works.

I am afraid most step through bikes will not fit this rack. There are adapters form those style frames that clam onto the seat post and handle bar to allow those style bikes to be carried on a conventional bike rack but for the most part without that they won't fit.

NO. Look at the video. It shows fitting two bikes, when one is a small kiddy bike. My Trek 8.3 DS hybrid will NOT fit on top of another similar hybrid. Just measure the pedals sticking out and the the length of the arm between the two bikes. Note that racing type bikes have horizontal top bars, but hybrids slant. People saying 'yes' never say exactly what model bike they are talking about, and do not seem to mind smashing an expensive derailleur against a pedal

I found this rack extremely well manufactured and a wide range of adjustability. I think it's one of the best purchases I've made but as far as sizing, go to a bike shop, if you're wheel spacing is near a Catrike, then I would think it would fit. Good luck.

i am unsure of the size of my bike and i do not want to mislead you. i am 6 foot 1 inch and have a trek madone that fits me. my bike fits in the case but it is tight with the frame.

Yes indeed! I have a Trek Mountain Bike and it fits wonderfully! I absolutely LOVE this basket! It's frame and base is made of strong metal wire and it holds a fair amount of "stuff". When at the beach I ride to the grocery store and unhook it(EASY!) and bring it in and fill it up and pay for it and ride it home!!! I also love the fact that it "looks" like wicker but is made from a strong resin material that will withstand weather and years! The only problem I've had with it is when i take it for a ride without much weight in it, like just a jacket and/or sunglasses...if I go over a bump it has, on occasion unhooked itself from the frame...not a problem anymore as I have attached a few twisty-ties to secure the handles down....This is a tad expensive..but...so totally worth it!!
