Question:
I’m interested in the Inno Tire Hold 2 platform rack. Will it work with bicycles that have a rear rack?

I have another option for you, but the rear rack will more than likely interfere with the arm of the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # INH120 that secures the rear tire.
Instead I recommend frame mount rack like the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting - Frame Mount # S64683 which will hold your bikes by the frame, and will accommodate two bikes weighing up to 45lbs each with tires up to 3" wide. If your bikes have fat tires you will need the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64694 which will work with tires up to 5" wide.
If your bikes have an alternative frame style you may also need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 to give the rack a solid place to secure the bikes.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
