will this fit over 4" wide tires, aka a "fat bike?" Thanks!

The basked must be used in tandem with the Topeak rack so if the rack fits it should work. I have my rack on 700c wheel and if your wheels + the height of the tires don't exceed that you should be fine. I don't think the width of the tires would be a problem.

I no longer have the wheel, since it was for a flip bike.As I recall, it wasn't "overly" wide.I'd just get a rubber strip and trim the sides if necessary if too wide.

The age and gear set up of your bike has nothing to do with tire size. You need to measure the rim or existing tire to know if it'll fit.

I doubt it, I bought this for a dual sport motorcycle and my tire is to skinny to fit properly. My tire is about 4"wide if that helps.

I've got it on a 26" Mt Bike wheel but not fat tire. Inside dimensions of the rack uprights is 5 & 3/8"s. I'm thinking yes.

I do have a bike with 700c tires and this did fit. Just make sure your frame has the mounts for it as in the picture and your good to go, as it does adjust which works wonders for bikes of different sizes.

Yes it's adjustable and would accommodate your tires. My mtn bike tires are 2" wide. Refer to the description on Amazon.

I use mine to work on a Specialized Epic Comp and also Gary Fisher Mtn. Bikes. I don't see why it wouldn't work for a fat bike. In my experience, the main difference is the size and obvious weight of the tires, bike cross bars are similar. I would be perfectly comfortable putting more weight on mine, say 5-10 pounds per bike and not have an issue with the stand. That would bring it to around 30lbs which is what most Fatboys weigh. Not sure if that helps you

It fits on my Trek Wahoo with fat tires. Bontrager 29-1, 29x2.1"Not sure if your tire is bigger than that and I would say that I would not try it on anything much bigger.

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted, so I don't think fat tires would be a problem. The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lot of options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to the hub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge (the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling it out).

It fits my mountain bike. Not sure if you had a problem because of bigger tires or wider frame?

I'm pretty sure it does. It asks for measurments in metric which should also be on the side of the tire. My bike is fairly big (I'm 6'4"). You can always return it if you have a problem. I like it a lot. best I have ever had.

the tires will fit - BUT they are taller and you could have a problem with your kickstand holding up the bike. It may or not be an issue - just be aware of the potential.

Perhaps, but it may be difficult. The rack itself (where the bag sits) is about 5" wide and the space between arms is about 4.5 inches. The arms are pretty flexible-adjustable and may flare out enough to accommodate your frame. I don't think the tire size is a problem because even if it came close to the rack, there is 4.5 inches of clearance at that point. Attaching to the frame might require a bit more effort but I don't see any absolute reason for it not to work.

Good day, this would accommodate a 29" bike as long as the downtube of the frame is not atypical. 2.4" wide tires is right on the edge of suitable sizes, but should not be a problem. Thanks!

The tires normally extend about an inch thru the bottom bars, but, it will work. Thanks.

The measurement between the wheel loop is 3 1/2". 4" tires sound extremely wide. Most average mountain bike style tires are about 2-3". Did you physically measure your tires? Maybe you could let some air out and they would fit if they are that big. I'm very happy with the rack. Good luck!!
