can an adapter for a 20" wheel (recumbent bike) mount on this unit?

I don't know but I wouldn't buy this unit. Too noisy and the tension wheel doesn't reach my 26in wheel on my bike. I have to brace the tension wheel with a 35lb dumbbell in order to get it to reach my wheel. I would look for something else.

Only if you have a trailer hitch for a 2" receiver. If you have a 1" hitch you might be able to get a 1" to 2" adapter from say Harbor Freight. This bike rack will not strap or hook to your vehicle any other way.....Hope this helped. John

Really dude? Now wouldn't that all depend on how sturdy the base (curvy dashboard) youre mounting it to is?IF you have a solid object (surface) to mount to,,,,, (and mount securely),,,,, then yes, this adapter mount will work fine. I have it mounted on the handlebar of my BMW motorcycle and its rock solid.

Any class. It only supports two bicycles. It is a 2" receiver so if you have a class 1 with a 1.25" you would need an adapter.

Don't know the exact size of your recubent bike. But I have different sized full suspension bicycles and it adjusts to fit them all. I would say yes it would accomodate a recumbent bicycle. You may have to do some adjusting and rearrangingig of the racks. I don't want to steer you wrong but some of the recumbent bikes are really low and extended really long. I have a Full Suspension MTB That the main tube is really low at the support post and the wheelbases is really extended not as extreme as the most extreme recumbent bike. If time isn't of the essence you can always send it back if it doesn't work to your liking. The video should give you a good idea if it'll work.

I would say yes. 29ers (maybe even 28s) are probably the best wheel sizes for this particular stand IMO. I have it installed on my Schwinn 29er. Fits great. Although, I wish it were slightly higher, its sufficiently high where it is now.

Hello dear I just figured out that this handle works very well on 20" bike.My son just fixed it on his cousin's bike.

The rack hangs about 3 inch below the axle and the bottom of my Ortlieb pannier hangs about 4 inch below the axle. If there is about 10 inch below the axle on a 20 inch wheel, it should work.

Yes you can. This bike mount only works on bikes with Thin Downtube. if yours it's thicker, it will not work.

Kurt Kinetic makes an adaptor to use if you have smaller wheels. I have a 20 real wheel and I had to get the adaptor for it. It can be taken off and on with a couple tools for using standard size wheels and the 20" and smaller.Jim

Any quick release 20" trailer wheel should work. Right now there's one on Amazon from Sunlite; it might not match your original silver wheel but it would (hopefully) do the job. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/TRAILER-SUNLT-REP-WHL-ALY/dp/B00B13703U/ref=sr_1_1?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1396974410&sr=1-1&keywords=20%22+bike+trailer+wheel

Yes, I believe so. My rack came with adapters for the smaller wheel and kids size bikes. I haven't used them but they seem like they would work fine. Hope that helps.

It will if you purchase the adapter bar also sold by Allen Sports. It attaches to the handle bar and under the seat to create a support to attach the bike to the rack.

You should be ok without an adapter. I have 1 women's and 1 men's bike that I transport on mine without issues.

The adapter is quite universal. The adapter bar clamps around the seat post at one end and the handle bar post at the other end. As long as your carrier has two arms that the adapter bar can rest on you should be OK. My Thule carrier has two arms that the adapter bar rests on to support the bicycle + has rubber clamps that wrap around the adapter bar..

I believe this model is specifically for bike's with mounting plates. There are other models with the piece needed if no mount.
