Sorry to revive an old thread. Does anyone have pictures of two mountain bikes on the rack? I haven't figured out an easy way to get them to fit.

I don't have a picture but I've gotten both my mountain bikes on no problem. Where's you hang up?

I have to either lower one of the seats, or remove it. It's pretty compact..

Hmm, I haven't had a problem either. You could have worse problems in life.....

Yes it is tight. I assume you tried setting them up in opposing directions. I bet the handle bar is hitting the seat right? You can try messing with the tire stops on the track. This allows you to push forward one of the bike to get the clearance you need.

Exactly! The handlebars hit the seat, and the pedals are really really tight. I do have them sitting opposite of each other, and tried adjusting the tire stops.

I somewhat regret going with this solution instead of just putting on a hitch and reusing my hitch bike rack.
