Ok I have a diamondback 29er w/disc brakes. How do I attach the bottom of this to my bike? I have no holes in my frame.

If you don't have any mounting holes then you are out of luck to mount any rear rack on your bike properly. What about the front?

Well you are encountering the same problem I had with my Diamondback 29er. There is no way to attach the carrier to the frame because there are no bosses on the frame. I did not want to drill the frame because it may compromiise the strengh of the frame. You could call Diamondback and ask. Topeak offers another carrier which Amazon carries for bikes with this concern.

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

Your bike should have 2 pre-drilled holes on the frame. Usually bikes come with holes in the seat tube or in the down tube. See here http://hubnride.blogspot.com/2010/06/basic-knowledge-about-our-bike-anatomy.html Like on this picture http://cdn0.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2010/04/28/1/canyon_cf_slx_team_seat_tube_2_600.jpg

The part that attaches to the "lead" bike should have come with yours. If it didn't, sounds like you're missing that part.

My instruction are long gone but what I could suggest is to take a measurement of the space between your back bars that hold your rim on or take your rear tire to bike shop with one of the cups that is going to go over the pins. Some pins are to wide for the cup so this is very important. The length varys on what gear system you have so again very important you either measure or take rim with you to the bike store.

The hole in the rear sprocket that comes with the kit is intended for a 7-speed/derailleur type bike with hand brakes. My current project bike is a single speed coaster brake bike. If you are doing a coaster you will need to enlarge the center hole to clear the coaster brake hub, or purchase a sprocket with the hole enlarged (which is what I did). I'm also adding hand brakes to my bike so it will still have brakes in the event of chain failure or popping off while motoring. Good luck with your build.

I looked at a couple of pictures of this Schwinn model. It doesn't look like it has the rear mounting posts that newer bikes have. Supposedly that isn't a problem because you can use P clamps to create mounting posts on the two tines or frame extensions that normally have these posts. However, I'm not even sure that the Schwinn sports world has two tines. (This wording is pretty awkward.) You may want to take your bike to a bike shop and ask an expert. You may only be able to use the time of rack that wraps around the seat post. I have one of those, and it works quite well.

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

Not without some modifications. Also, depending on how your bike's rear wheel is configured (i.e. dual suspension, etc.) positioning of the mount will vary. extending this unit may have it sticking out to far when collapsed. These are just some things to consider. Best bet is to go t your local Bike shop and see what they recommend. They may even have something for the 29er.

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.

Well the bottom screws fit into the rear of the frame. The front facing extenders go to screw holes in the frame by the seat post. I have an older vintage Ross bike from the 20's and after attaching the front with zip ties for about two months, I finally broke down and brought it to a bike mechanic which just used a "C" clamp that attached to the bottom of my seat post and now it is sturdy enough to "drag my drunk buddies home" according to my mechanic. I bought this at a target in town, and it didn't have anything with it. It was bare just sitting on the rack, I ended up talking to the 19 year old cashier into giving it to me for $3. This thing is awesome! I use it all the time. I hope that helps you. Well the bottom screws fit into the rear of the frame. The front facing extenders go to screw holes in the frame by the seat post.

Place the women's bike on the bottom, experiment and you can get enough separation between the brackets and by pivoting the holders to make this work. This kept the bottom bike @ 4" off the floor and still leaves plenty room for the top bike. Attach to the wall!!!!

Lacy, this comes with what you need to hook up to a regular bike. If you have a bike with a rear disc break, then you will need an adapter which I can only find online and not in any of my local stores. I highly highly recommend this trailer. We've been using even more and it becomes more useful everytime we go out wither just to get outside for a bit or on the back of a tandeem with her grandparents. Its great. Hope you enjoy it!

DoctorBob, I went to Youtube to view your exercise bike, 5101c I own a Schwinn Airdyne stationary, my son is using. The mounting seat and post/rails appear to be similar to my new road bike. I believe the Easyseat should mount to your Diamondback. I believe Easyseat, designed their seat to be a universal mount. There is another similar seat made in Australia called Spongy Wonder but a lot more expensive. I spoke to my Internist about this Easyseat 10 years ago. There was an article in Time or Newsweek about the damage the standard seat with a nose can cause, with blood circulation and nerve damage in the crotch area, male and female. I had a cover made with additional foam padding, that is placed over my Easyseat, which makes it more comfortable on long rides. The best of luck Doc, I hope this information was beneficial....Mark

You may have to mount the front bracket to seat clamp if you don't have mounting holes, I have a mongoose 29er mounted to stock seat clamp with a thin washer works great, you may have to buy a different seat clamp depending on your bike.

go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube. go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and... » Read More go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube. « Show Less
