Hahahaha. Great minds, or something… I asked why they don’t (have five seats, five bikes is perfect) and it definitely comes down to the asymmetry of 3+2 versus the uniformity of the current system.
That said. I don’t have any clearance issues except that the tine arrangement on the new racks doesn’t fit my rigid fork (\#JerryWillowsHatesMyBike) as well as the older version.
All the bike-on-bike damage I’ve seen (including an Ohlins air shock that got DAGGA’d on a gravel road) came down to pedal positioning which is easy to sort out if the person loading is even a tiny bit considerate.
