## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can a cargo tray be fitted on this backstage swing away rack?**
A: I see no way of doing that...we actually trade back and forth too. Would be great to find something that would let you mount both.

**Q: The information says that it maxes out at 41 inches our ford transit van is 43 inches from the towbar to the side of the van. Will it work?**
A: i have mine on a toyota sienna and clears the side but its close if thats what your really asking. will it work of course it will. plus you have barn doors i have a hatchback so if it didnt work= completely open up fully with bike tires in same direction as vehicle you would just open the passenger side rear door an inch or two less than full 90 degrees fully open.. also you dont have to swing the hitch full open and turn the bikes in complete allingnment with the van. the whole bike rack rotates 90 degrees and the tow arm swings out 180 degrees so the bike tires dont have to point same direction as van when tow bar is swung open 180 fully open to the right. so its very versatile. but with barn doors there shouldnt even be a question whats the worst that could happen you cant fully open the right door by an inch or two.. no big deal unless your driving an atv out of the van on car ramps.

**Q: What is the top recommended speed for this bike rack? I'm looking for something that can survive 80mph speed limits with crosswinds!**
A: no limit. they could use this rack in nascar in a hurricane and your bikes wil be in the same position you left them.

**Q: Do you sell covers for the bike rack?**
A: We do not - the coating on the rack should be protective against the weather and elements.

Cheers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is it weird to be excited about a new bike rack?
*by D***. on August 31, 2019*

Unboxed and setup the RockyMounts Backstage rack tonight. The rack was well packaged and arrived unscathed via UPS. I will be using this with a 2002 Chevy 1500 HD and a 2017 KIA Sorento. For the inital setup, I fitted it to the KIA. Setup was a breeze. The majority of the rack comes pre-assembled and it only took about 30 minutes to get through the entire process (I did watch several videos on setting it up and operating it so I was well prepared once it arrived.) It fits well on the KIA and unlike others, I can roll into and out of my garage with the bikes loaded on the rack. However, even with the anti-wobble pin installed the rack did seem to want to wobble back and forth a bit. I don't think this will be an issue, though. I don't plan to use the swing away feature when fitted to the KIA because the hatch clears the bikes when the rack is tilted down. I will be using that feature when fitted to the truck, however. The RM website specs this rack to be used with bikes up to 49" long. My Scott Genius 920 (29er) is 48" long and you can see in one the photos how far it hangs off the wheel cup. The front wheel is stopped with an integrated wheel stop so it can't go any further off. While I was waiting for the rack to arrive, I almost bought a set of the metal locks instead of the plastic ones this rack ships with. I was pleasantly surprised to see the more expensive metal locks included in the box already. I'm glad I didn't order the additional locks. This rack is big and heavy so plan on reserving a fairly large area in the garage for it. I'm waiting for RM to get the wall hanger back in stock so I can get it out of the way. For $20, they should include that as part of the package! Overall, this is a well-built, sturdy rack. I'm looking forward to years of use! UPDATE: I've been using this rack since August 2019 with no issues. Everything has held up well including the straps and the hook/trigger for the front wheel. Don't be mislead by the top negative review from the guy dropped his bike because the hook/trigger didn't secure the front wheel. This rack is NOT designed for bikes with front fenders and his pictures clearly show metal front fenders on his damaged e-bike. On a side note, I'm considering converting it to a non-swing away rack by replacing the base. RockyMounts customer service confirmed it's doable using either MonoRail or SplitRail LS bases. I just haven't used the swing away option as much as I thought I would.
