Just saw a new Yakima hitch mount rack called the Dr. Tray. It holds 2 bikes. They make a 1 bike add-on for a total of 3 bikes. However, like most tray mount racks it is not fender friendly.
I don't know if Edwin's Yakima Two Timer which is a tray rack with clamps for the top tube (fender friendly) is the new version or the old version. I saw the new one at the REI Garage sale a couple of weeks ago. The tag said the wheel clamps moved around. Sure enough, I could easily move it with my hand though the knob was tightened full-on. I could see how vibration could cause the wheel clamps to move around - the strap on the wheel would limit travel, but the clamp would still inchworm around a bit.
