Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes - HRBA-PRO

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (465 Customer Reviews)

Bike frame bar adapter allows you to transport a woman's, child's or full-suspension bicycle on your hitch-, trunk- or spare-tire-mounted bicycle rack. Telescoping bar fits a variety of bike sizes and will not scratch your bike's finish.

by:

Fit my RadRunner 2 Electric Utility bike perfectly. It is very sturdy and the fit and finish of the clips on both ends is great. The adjustable length of the bar works very smoothly.



by:

Works great. I didn’t realize I only needed it for the step through bike so didn’t need to order two! Wish this would have been clarified when I inquired about the bar before purchase.



by:

This adapter bar is just what you need for e-bikes that don't have a top bar of their own. Quickly connects to the bike, then the bike can be correctly stored on the bike rack.

Works great for being able to secure the bike to the bike rack.

@BrianH We're glad you're happy with it!


by:

These bike bars serve there purpose as far as holding the bikes down on the bike rack, only thing is that sometimes they get stuck trying to get around the post, but overall would purchase again if needed



by:

Excellent solution to a problem I have had for some time and this bar provides a simple way to load an unusual bike. The photo shows the first attempt and the front tire does not have enough clearance so I bungee cord the front to raise it. Unfortunately the photo I took will not upload. Excellent product and with a little thinking I am able to use it.



by:

Works well. No issues with holding bike in place. Have used for 4500 miles with bikes on rack behind fifth wheel. Need to wrap cloth around ends so doesn't rub paint off of bicycle. One improvement I would like to see is to be able to lock in place once you have the length set for the bike

Phillip

No changes from original review. Over 15,000 miles and no issues. Would like to see something for the ends so wouldnt have to wrap to protect paint on bike.



by:

Fit great on our Magicycle Ocelots and our Hollywood rack.
Great price and fast shipping.



by:

Very well put together. Easy to install. I installed this on two different models of step thru ebikes and worked great. We decided to use one as a permanent part to a step-thru Blix Aveney ebike as it now doesn’t look like a woman’s bike for my guy to ride. These work well for support on our bike carrier.



by:

Easy assembly, never had a problem with it, someone else said the locking pin was too short but mine is just fine. Works great for carrying e-bikes and it's easy to load them. Be sure to secure them to the carrier with a strap or a strong bungee at the vertical post the hook slides down onto, or they will fall off in transit! If you have a step-through bike, you'll need a converter (an added bar) to carry it on this rack. Customer service was great, too!



by:

Really help secure my bikes to my rack .

These are perfect for use with my ebikes .Makes mounting on my bike rack very secure ,

Fits my step-thru bike frame perfectly and is very sturdy when I put my ebike on my car bike rack.

Glenn

Still just as good.



by:

I received our bike frame adapters and am using them both for our Pedego ebikes. My only issue is there is no protection; rubber surface, to protect the bikes. I added foam door seal, which came off after the first trip, so I will attempt to attach more with Super Glue.

I usually recommend item # SR0500 because it is a good price and also has rubber coating.

I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.



by:

Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame.
It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use



by:

The adapter bar not only allowed us to avoid having to buy another bike rack to accommodate an e-bike, but also very strong and easy to install and remove.



by:

Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle.
I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance.
Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.



by:

This bike rack adapter is great. Very heavily well-built and will do exactly that for which it has made. I would have given it five stars except the way it has made the adapter bar slides in and out (so that it can be adjusted to fit to different lengths). There is no way to lock the bar length in place. And on both ends where the bar attaches to your bike, at the bar end there needs to be some sort of padding so not to scratch the bike while racked.



by:

Great product.
Keeps the woman's bike
straight on the rack.
The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place.
Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike.
Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.



by:

A needed item if you have e-bikes from Lectric! The bar worked great and easy to install!



by:

The bike frame adapters work great. They were delivered precisely when you said they would be here. We just took our step through, wide tire bikes to the beach 2.5 hours from our house and enjoyed a fabulous 20 mile ride along the coast. Good product and good service.

Thanks



by:

These are a must for the LLectric step thru bikes in conjunction with the Hollywood e-bike rack. Gives you a better clamping location higher up then the actual bike for a more positive hold.



by:

The Hollywood Racks bike frame adapter bars are of excellent quality. I used them yesterday to install 2 girls' bikes along with a man's bike on my new Swagman bicycle support that is now on the rear of my 5th wheel. They did the job.



by:

Works great with our two Rad power electric bikes. They are heavy but fit like a glove in the rack. A great way to transport our bikes for a fun day riding on the inter urban trails in Bellingham.



by:

Work great



by:

The work the way they are supposed to. I'm happy with my purchase.

  • Does Hollywood Racks Bike Adapter Bar HRBA-PRO Fit 17.5 and 22 inch Seat Post to Handlebar Bikes
    Since the opening of the bike frame adapters like the # HRBA-PRO is a bit wider it can be challenging to get an exact measurement for the minimum but we do know that it will fit the two dimensions you have that are 17.5 inches and 28-13/16 inches. This will work great on your Yakima RidgeBack 5 bike rack as well. I attached a link to this page that will take you to our return policy page as well.

  • How to Secure 2nd Step-Thru Bike When the Ratchet Hook Arm Does Not Go Low Enough
    I do have a recommendation for your 2 Townie step-thru bikes on your Hollywood rack. You can use the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO. Since the second bar sits higher and does not come down enough to secure your bike, you can use the adapter bar to raise the attachment point on that front bike. The Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO will fit between the seat post and handlebar stem post, this will raise the attachment point up so you can secure your bike....

  • Is Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO Needed for Specialized Womans Bike
    Bikes like your Specialized Expedition Women's Sport and other alternative-frame-design bikes that lack a horizontal top frame tube (typical of a standard man's bike) will benefit from using the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO. This simple device attaches between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This will keep the bike level on the carrier to maintain safe ground clearance at the wheels.

  • Does Rola TX-104 4-Bike Rack Require A Bike Adapter With Step Through Frames
    I was able to find your account and it looks like you have the Rola TX-104 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches part # 59401 which is a hanging rack. If you have a step through frame, you will need an adapter bar like part # HRBA-PRO which will give the bike a horizontal top frame tube to hang the bike from on the rack. The bikes may still hang on the rack without the adapter if the frame is not a deep step through but they will be crooked. It is best to use an adapter.

  • Can Adapter Bar Be Used For 65-Lb Electric Bike
    You are correct. The weight of your e-bike would be too much for any of the adapter bars we offer. The maximum weight that an adapter bar can handle is about 35-lbs. If you are using the bar to use with a platform bike rack you can use it to provide a level attach point but it will not work with a hanging bike rack. You will also want to make sure your bike rack can handle the weight of your bike. If you find you need a new bike carrier I recommend a platform carrier. You can check...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2008 BMW 335Xi Carrying Womens Mountain Bikes
    The only difference between the Hollywood Racks Express Bike rack part # HRE2 and the Hollywood Racks Express Bike rack part # HRE3 is the length of the arms of the rack and amount of bikes that the rack is designed to carry. Other than that the racks are identical. Sometimes people will buy a 3 bike rack to only carry 2 bikes just because the additional room allows for easier loading. Both racks have been confirmed to fit your 2008 BMW 335Xi. You should have no problem installing 2 mountain...

  • Recommended 3 Bike Rack for 2016 Jeep With Spare Tire
    I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 3 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # HR320. This bike rack fits Class III, 2 inch hitch receivers and features a 20 inch long shank that provides 15 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar. This means that you will not need to use a hitch extender which reduces your hitch receiver Tongue Weight (TW) by 50%. The Road Runner can fold up when not in use for rear clearance, and can also tilt...

    The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is an excellent choice for your 2013 Volkswagen Jetta and Avalon 26 inch hybrid women's bike because the dual-arm rack decreases the need for a bike frame adapter bar. However, for an optimal fit I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter # HRBA-PRO for alternative bike frames such as yours. This will ensure that your bike will remain level during transport. Your particular bike frame has a narrow opening between the top and lower...

According to the product manual for the # SA3040 it can not be used with hook style racks or on an RV rack.

    Yes, the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is a fit for your 2004 Acura MDX. This is a solid and economical choice for a trunk-mounted rack, though if you will be using it one a week I would recommend a rack with anti-sway cradles (which hold the bikes on the rack) instead of standard rubber cradles like the Express has. Anti-sway cradles will ensure your bikes do not make # MPG2139 is similar to the Express but it does feature anti-sway cradles as well as a shorter distance...

However, Swagman racks cannot be used on the rear of a towed trailer of any kind.

Hollywood Racks does mention that your vehicle has a soft bumper so heavier bikes may cause the bumper to disfigure. That is something to keep in mind.

  • How Would an Alternative Frame Bike Mount to Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier on a Honda CR-V
    For alternative frame bikes like your sons you would need to use an adapter bar, # HRBA-PRO. I have included a picture showing how it works. Basically one end clamps around the handlebar gooseneck, the other end around the seat post. This creates an artificial top tube to mount the bike on a hanging rack. This method creates a more level mount for the bike so you will not have one wheel dipping close to the ground.

    For your Subaru Outback and your 2011 Toyota Highlander, the trunk mount bike rack that I would recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 bike rack, # HRF2. Most trunk mount bike racks are not recommended for the Highlander because of the rear spoiler.
