These are good keeping the bikes with smaller wheels forward so they are off the handles of bigger bikes. The screws have loosened while travelling so installed the screws facing up and it stopped that

I would recommend using blue loctite on the threads.

These look bomber. I’ve been using zip ties for my kids 24″ wheels =*) 26″ wheels seem to sit in there just fine.

I find it unfortunate that I needed to purchase these to prevent my bikes from being damaged. Originally the rack was supposed to carry all wheel sizes. Now I have to purchase these, this after replacing a tire on mine and damaging my wife’s tire and wheel.

Hi Korey,
The wheel chokes were design to shrink the basket length to better fit bikes that have 24 and 26 inch wheels. So sorry to hear about the damage. Please contact us directly.

I had a great experience with Alta Rack! I walked in, they answered all my questions, gave great recommendations and then installed it all right there!

I have two of these on my 5 bike rack. Effective and easy to use. Easy to move if needed, but I find myself leaving them in one place and simply putting the right size tire in the right spot.
Great to have at least one. It makes the rack extremely versatile. You never know when a new friend might be running 26ers on a classic setup 🙂
