Does the Yakima HoldUp bike rack have Side-to-side adjustability that reduces bike to bike interference?

When you put it together, there is some side to side adjustability, as much as 2" .

No however we have held all different types of bikes and have never had any issues it's the best rack we have had

No, but there's enough room for two adult bikes without beating them together. Had it a couple seasons without problem.

The Thule Spare Me 2 does allow you to shift the carrier a few inches in either direction. I have a recent model Toyota Rav4 and I have offset the bike rack to help compensate for the spare tire location. The bike still doesn't end up in the dead center of my vehicle but it is fine for me. Also, I can leave the mounting post permanently attached since my hard shell tire cover fits over top when I'm not using the bike carrier. I am very satisfied with this carrier. Hope this helps!

It's possible if you mount it to the rear that there will be interference. I mount mine slightly forward for preference and it's fine. If you don't have room to move it around then the side rails will probably interfere.

The model 8002445 for the 1-1/4" receiver is good for two bikes up to 60 lbs. each (120 lbs. total) per the Yakima specs.

Yes, but not sure if per Thule/Yakima. I have the Toyota factory roof rack, they are kept in stowed position/side rails, then I mounted Yakima mounts w/ crossbars (purchased used) so not sure if these were designed for it. They barely bite around the factory rail, but do work. You will need to measure the diameter to see. Similar to the Thule Crossroad or Yakima Railgrab. It was annoying to find the factory rails when are too big (wide oval/elliptical shape) for most Thule/Yakima Accessories, like my upright bike racks. All is well now with the Yakima crossbars.

Yes, my bike has cantilever brakes and this rack does not interfere with them.

Nope, not usually. Most of the time you can shift the other bikes a bit to lift bikes in the middle out. We are very happy with our Monkey Bar Rack.

They make a 1.25 compatible Yakima Holdup, http://www.yakima.com/shop/bike/hitch/holdup125

Yes, I have Yakima racks and they work fine. I think the design is well thought out.

I googled the bicycle that you mentioned, and it looks like there's too much structure located at the bike's balance point. This bike rack clamps at the center balance of the bike frame. I have a Giant road bike, a simple frame without the suspension that a mountain bike has and it works fine.

Yakima hitch lock is compatible with hitch pint that comes with this bike rack.

Yes! My bike is a step-through. It's great. I wanted a rack that wouldn't require the cross bar and possibly scratch the paint on my bike. The bikes are entirely supported by the tires and securely fasten to the rack with the included straps.

We have two electra townies that work fine on this rack. But we do use some extra padding so bikes don't rub together.

The carrier is large... If the bike rack is large enough to support it is the question... We had to connect a small board across our scooter rack so the carrier didn't shift and slide to the side. This solved the problem for us, and we use it quite often.

The model shown to the left does NOT lock the bikes to the rack. I used a separate cable lock to do that.

havent tried but from what I have seen of other similar designs I believe you have to tilt the girls bike to match the diagonal slope frame 9on a girls bike) to the horizontal securing points of the rack. If you observe similar racks with a girls bike on (when you are driving around) you will see what I am referring to.....

Width of roof rack will determine but in most applications the answer is yes providing you alternate bike rack directions (example from left to right: #1 & #3 handlebars face front if car and #2 & #4 face car 'a rear).
