We have an older Thule 2-bike carrier, similar to the Doubletrack the we have 
had for about 6 years. We usually carry an ebike and one of my Rivendells on 
it. It has been fine, we replaced the central bar clamp mechanism this summer 
after the one of the plastic lock sleeves cracked. I can fit my 55cm Cheviot 
with 42mm tires on it, which is the longest wheelbase of all my bikes. Check 
the wheel wells slide far enough apart if that is the style you go for. If we 
were replacing it, we would go with a Kuat as they come with an optional side 
loading ramp for extra heavy bikes. A couple of tips to avoid damage - pad your 
top tube with some bar tape at the section where the clamp slides down on to 
it, and if you are loading two or more bikes, orient the pedals so they don't 
scratch the chainstays of the bike next to it. I think the newer racks give 
more pedal clearance than ours.
Joe, they are extremely heavy. We keep ours at the side of the house next to 
the garage and my wife loads it on the hitch as she is stronger than me.
