Expert Reply:
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
This is going to be the case for most if not all hanging style bike carriers. They can carry the bikes its just that to carry them level (or to fit at all in the case of smaller kids bikes) an adapter bar will be needed for each affected bike.
