Ordered a 3-bike rack from Amazon, but it was 3" too wide to fit within the space between the bottom of the wheel wheels. So, I built an elevated stand from some spare pieces of 2x4. The bike rack mounts to the stand with 1" aluminum straps from Home Depot. It turned out OK for my purposes, so I thought I would share. The photos show three bikes just sitting in the rack without any bungees securing them down yet.

Thx for sharing! It seems to me that they are designed for small frames. We got 3 bikes with XL frames(2 mtb and 1 gravel, size like this) I'm wondering, worth it or not finally
