Is this compatible with large fat tire bikes like the Surly Moonlander?

Nope. The max tire size you could use with this would be a 3.5. And you could only do that if you mounted it so high that it might interfere with your seatpost. At a standard mounting height, a 3.0 inch tire is as large as you could reasonably expect to get in this rack.

I run a Maxxis Ikon that is 26x2.20 on the rear and I still have about a half an inch of space on either side

I don't believe it would fit the fat tire bike, because it may not reach the floor.I had to bend mine to reach the floor with 26x2.15" tires.The width at the narrow part is around 2.5" on the inside.

If the bike has a cassette hub then no ,but many cheaper scwhinns still ( at least till recently ) used freewheel hubs.IF it will fit you'll still need to lengthen chain some to accomodate the big stump pullin' gear . A little internet search will help you figure out whst kind of hub you have and how to lengthen the chain correctly . Good luck !

It should...it's the thinner tires that have a problem. BTW this setup works great!

i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow. They were too narrow for my mountain 29er which does have fairly fat cross country tires(2.2?). However: i was able to expand these stabilizers wider by bending them open to make them 'fit', and now it works fine. You probably could do the same, although you'll have to widen more than i did. i was able to do it by hand(cuz i only needed a little bit more space) but you might have to exert a little more force for the 2.5s. i feel that it would be possible. i would say no.......and yes.......the platform itself is plenty large, but the stabilizers that pivot up to slide onto the tires will be too narrow.

NO! That is way to big of a bike. I had a KLR 650 and it was to much bike for it. You are better off buying a small trailer.

I wouildn't recommend it. the bracket that fits to seat subing is 2" at least. The angle of this rack is tricky and below the rack shelf is a piece of tubing that hangs low and interfers with the tire. I tried it on my 700c tired bike and ona standard 26" bike both with seats to fit 5'4" height rider (seat is set pretty low) and it didn't work.

Yes, I think that it is pretty much universal unless you have oversized tires. It works great so far!

Yes, I currently use my rack with 2 29" Specilized MB and 1 24" kids bike. Orillinally the rack works with 26" and 29" mountain bike tires. To make it work i had to buy the. Saris Thelma Juvenile Bike Add-on Kit. Worked for me

Not sure about the Surly. I have mine on Specialized TriCross and it fits just fine. Have been very happy with this rack so far after nearly a year of commuting.

I'm using it on my mountain bike which has a rather large oval frame and it works fine. It will work with just about any pump.

It will work perfectly. I replaced the tires on the same bike with this tire

i think yes.i am using 29in tire size bike.700c is equivalent to 622mm or 24.5in.correct me if i'm wrong.

It should fit fine. I have the rack set up on a mountain bike and road bike. Both are running 700x32 tires with plenty of clearance.

Yes. In fact the rims are rather narrow (19mm) for the fat tires that come with the bike. Quoting Sheldon Brown: "A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width." The inner rim width of the wheels on this bike are 13mm, so 700x23 should be good, where 700x32 is really pushing it!

The 6400 has the, Trailer Adaptor Kit (TK 3000) that allows you to place the wheel chock on a trailer. Yes it will support the fatter tire, you can adjust the space and hight for the specific tire. Just follow the manufactures instructions.

It should the rack can be adjusted to fit. I put this rack on a Trek FX 7.1 with 20 inch tires and have had no problems.
