I ordered this for my step through e-bike. The quality of this product is excellent! I especially love the fact that the ends are not metal like some others I looked at. This one won’t scratch my bike. E-trailer shipped it quickly and I had it within days of placing my order.



by:

Nice product, sturdy, easy to use! Great service, came quickly

Still working great after a year. It is well made and sturdy, and does the job!



by:

Purchasing thru etrailer was a great experience. My order was processed promptly, my package arrived as expected, and the shipping vendor used (UPS) delivered on time and when they said it would be delivered! The product purchased is of high quality and works as expected. I’d definitely do business with etrailer again. I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

Although we haven't used these on a long trip, I can say they work great to stabilize our kid's bikes when we went on a short trip in our community. We had no idea we were supposed to use these adapters to keep the bike safe (from falling off) and also from damaging the bikes while being transported, we now realize how much better the bikes fit and are much more secure. Because of COVID, the Thule adapters were out of stock but this brand is pretty much the same, does the same job and was less expensive.



by:

The frame adapter bar was just what we needed. It goes on and off with such ease.



by:

This rack is rock solid and easy to install and uninstall



by:

Great experience dealing with your company. The adapter bar is working out perfectly. Now I can put the ladies bike and Childs bike on the rack. Thanks.



by:

Our adapter bar for our bike rake was exactly what we needed. Alex from etrailer kept in contact with us thru the whole process to let us know when it was shipped and to make sure we received it. I would recommend etrailer for ordering any bike accessories you may need. Thanks Alex for a job well done.



by:

The bar fits my "low entry" bike well. It's strong and supports the bike nicely on the bike rack.



by:

Perfect for supporting our bikes on our bike rack.



by:

I have been VERY happy with the customer service from etrailer, specifically Noah!! As far as the product, it is easy to use and solves the problem of securing my step through bicycle. I have just used it once but so far so good.



by:

This product is a God send.Too bad that th bike rack I purchased didn't mention the fact that I way need to purchase a bike frame attachment. If they did it would have beeen better thank god this product is available and that etrailer had it available.



by:

Bike frame adapter works great. Easy to attach to bikes and works with my bike rack great.



by:

If you have a step through bike, this is a must. Well built and easy to use



by:

Perfect fit to add to bike rack!



by:

Great tool to "even out" those bike lines when carrying on the back of a vehicle.



by:

Great addition to my vehicle and helps Me transport my bikes safely.



by:

Perfect for a step through bike frame.



by:

I thought this was something terrific that I couldn’t findI put this on in five seconds and took it off in five seconds this appears to be just what I was looking for



by:

There's no way that I could mout all four bikes without these. They work beautifully.



by:

Works well



by:

Definitely helps on a female bike. No issues. Works great.



by:

I've not had a chance to try this out yet. I'm giving 4 stars for the speed in shipping though!



by:

Great product. Just use an extra strap between your frame (under the seat) and the carrier bar for added safety. Just think... if the seat came off, your bike would be on the ground without it!



by:

Work as expected. A little cheaper than the Yakima brand.

  • Comparing the Thule, Yakima, and SportRack Swinging Bike Racks for a 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
    The compatibility of the bikes rack that you listed is going to be dependent on what trailer hitch you have installed on your 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. That said, most of them do not sit too far behind the bumper so you should not have any issues with this. If you don't already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13200 which I can confirm will work with the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack part # Y02465, the Thule Apex Swing XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9027XT,...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a Bike that Weighs 42 lbs
    I spoke to my contact at Sportrack and she informed me that the Adapter Bar part # SR0500 that you referenced has a 35 lb capacity. All of the adapter bars we carry are rated at 35 lbs. If you are in need of an adapter bar for a 42 lb bike your only option would be to go with a platform style bike rack. The T2 bike rack part # TH83JV for a 2 inch hitch or the # TH23JV for a 1-1/4 inch hitch would be a great option for you as they can handle bikes that weigh 60 lbs each.

  • Can a Bike with 16 Inch Wheels Be Used With the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack
    Yes, the BMX bike with 16" wheels will fit on the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. However, you will need an adapter bar. As you alluded to, the bike adapter bars are all different lengths. The SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 can go as short as 15-1/4". Therefore, you will need to have this much room between your seat post and handlebar fork post in order for this to work. The shortest bike adapter bar we offer is the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar part # Y02531...

  • Will SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar Fit SportRack Spare Tire Bike Rack
    Yes, you can use the SportRack adapter bar, # SR0500, with the SportRack spare tire mounted bike rack. However you should only need it if the bike you need to load has a step-through frame, alternatively shaped frame tubing, or the top frame bar is not long enough to fit the rotating cradles on the rack. I have included a link to a video that shows how adapter bars work. It is a different bar but the principle is the same.

  • What Electric Bike Rack Do You Recommend that Installs to the Frame of My Motorhome?
    I have a solution for you. We do not carry any bike racks that secure to a vehicle's frame. For your heavy electric bikes, a motorhome-approved hitch-mounted carrier is the right way to go. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has the highest maximum per-bike weight capacity of any rack we currently carry (80 pounds). As far as construction, the Sport Rider SE is specially manufactured to withstand the added torque and force when mounted on the hitch...

  • Recommended 4-Bike Hanging Style Rack for a 2019 Honda Odyssey With Locks
    For your 2019 Honda Odyssey, I recommend using the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. The Thule Apex has a threaded hitch pin lock to secure the bike rack to the vehicle and a cable that extends out to secure the bikes to the rack. If you take a look at the seven minute mark in the attached review video you will be able to see the cable lock being used. In addition to the locks, the Thule Apex has a tilting feature that will allow you to tilt the bike rack away from the vehicle...

  • Will Safety Straps of Curt 3-Bike Towing Rack Work on 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
    Yes, your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is compatible and will work with the safety straps of the Curt bike rack you mentioned, which is the following part: - Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts # C18013 The hooks are vinyl coated so they won't harm the finish on your Pathfinder at all. In regards to your other question, there isn't another option for a 3-bike towing rack without straps, though I'm confident you'll be happy with the Curt rack. The only other thing I wanted to mention...

  • Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2020 Toyota Sienna
    Let's start with a trailer hitch for your 2020 Toyota Sienna, and for that I highly recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 because of Draw-Tite's reputation for quality and because it has a hidden crosstube for a clean look. Since you mentioned a small trailer, the correct wiring harness for your Sienna will depend on what model it is. If you have a 2020 Toyota Sienna SE model, you need T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118498; if you have ANY other model of '20 Sienna you...

  • SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar Length
    The maximum length of the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500 is 22-5/8 inches. It falls under the category of adapter bars that are 14-5/8 inches to 29-1/4 inches so that may be where the confusion is. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also. If you are looking for a longer adapter bar you might be interested in the Yakima Top Tube Adapter bar part # Y02531. This bar extends out to 31-1/2 inches of length.

  • Bike Adapter Bar w/ a 50 lbs Capacity
    For a bike that weighs 42 lbs you will need the Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes item # TH982XT. This adapter bar has a 50 lbs capacity and can telescope from 16" - 31-1/2".

  • Best 4-Bike Rack To Clear Rear Doors On a 2007 Dodge Sprinter
    The only way you are going to be able to open the rear doors on your 2007 Dodge Sprinter with a bike rack installed and the bikes attached would be to use a swing-away bike rack. I saw that you were looking at four bike racks so if this is how many bikes you have then I recommend going with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack part # SR2415 which is currently the most cost effective option that fits the bill. However, you will need the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 for...

  • How Much Does the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack Weigh?
    The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # SR2415 weighs 57 lbs. It is a really nice quality rack for the price point and the features it offers. The swing away function gives you full access to your cargo area even when the bikes are loaded. It has anti-sway cradles to prevent bike to bike contact and the cradles are adjustable to ensure proper bike spacing. This bike rack does not include the locks for additional security. I recommend the cable lock # e98891, the Anti-Rattle...

  • Is the Thule Camber 2 a Good Fit for the 2016 Nissan Rogue
    The Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is an excellent option for your 2016 Nissan Rogue. It is cost effective, easy to use, and has a lifetime warranty. It will however interfere with the view for your backup camera but this is more or less unavoidable with any rack due to the position of the camera on the vehicle in regards to the position of the trailer hitch receiver. However, the bike rack only weighs around 28 lbs and it can be removed with a single bolt so taking it off the vehicle...

  • Swinging Bike Rack to Carry Triathlon Bike
    The only potential workaround to carry your triathlon bike with the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 would be to use a bike frame adapter bar such as # SR0500 which may work with the aero shaped seat post on your Tri bike as its hook opening is 3-1/2" long x 2-1/8" wide so you would need to ensure your seat post is smaller than those dimensions. The adapter bar telescopes from 15-1/4" to 22-5/8" so you would also need to measure to ensure the distance from your seat post to handlebar...

  • Using the Yakima BackSwing on a 2006 Dodge Sprinter RV Conversion with Softride Versa 2 Rack
    The Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 is a great add-on for allowing your standard platform rack to transform into a swing away rack, however it is not compatible with 1-1/4" hitch shanks or shanks that allow for an adapter to go up to 2"; for that reason, it would not be an option for you to use with your Softride Versa unless you have the version that was specifically made for use with a 2" hitch receiver. If you don't have the 2" version and you'd like to upgrade to a swing away platform rack,...

  • 3-Bike Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Fit on 2016 Lexus RC 300
    After doing some digging, I was able to find one option for a 3-bike trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2016 Lexus RC 300, from Yakima: - Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633 The FullBack will fit your Lexus, but it is also just a really nice rack with strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points; this ensures your bike won't swing while you are traveling, keeping it steady to protect the bike as well as your Lexus. I do recommend adding...

  • Can the Thule Doubletrack be Used with Womens Bikes
    If you are using the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ with a bike that has an alternative frame like most womens bikes then you are going to want to use an adapter bar like the Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 on each of those bikes. The adapter bar will hook around both the seat/handlebar post and provide a level surface for the frame hook to attach to. The frame hooks themselves can go pretty low but the issue is that if you did not use this adapter bar then you risk...

  • Bike Adapter Bar Compatible with Bike That Has 20-Inch Spacing Between Handlebar Stem and Seat Post
    The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021 is sized to work best on bikes that have a handlebar to seat post distance of 23 to 29-inches. But since we offer these adapter bars from many makers we can find one for you that will better fit the 20-inch span on your wife's bike. Instead you can use the Kuat Ubar # UB01, the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO or the SportRack # SR0500. All of these can accommodate the 20-inch spacing.

  • Do the Cradles on the SportRack Trunk Bike Carrier Move While in Transport
    I viewed the video (1:08 mark) about the SportRack 3 bike carrier # SR3152 that you referenced, and the cradles are actually pretty secure and will take a little force to move them around to the desired position. So you won't need to worry about the cradles sliding while you are driving down the road. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes and the weight capacity is 105 pounds. If you will be transporting any woman's, child's or alternative frame bikes, an adapter like # SR0500 will be a...

  • Will Thule 3 Bike Carrier And Swagman Trailhead 3 Fit A 2004 Honda CR-V
    To determine if the Thule Helium Aero 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9043PRO, and the Swagman Trailhead 3, # S63365, will fit on your 2004 Honda CR-V and clear the spare tire you will need to take a measurement on your vehicle. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the farthest back part of your spare tire. The Thule Helium Arero 3 Bike Carrier, # TH9043PRO, has a center of the hitch pin hole to upright bar measurement of 14-3/8 inches. If the measurement you got on your...

    The best bike rack that will carry both an e-bike with fenders and a Trek road bike is going to be the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches item # S94FR. This bike rack is rated to be used on all vehicles, motorhomes, and trailers. It has a 70 lbs capacity per bike. You will still be able to access your rear hatch with the carrier attached but you may have to remove the bikes.

    Yes, I confirmed with Yakima that the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 will fit your 2021 Nissan Sentra with a factory spoiler. If you have a children's bike, women's style bike, or step through bike, I recommend an adapter bar like the SportRack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # SR0500. The adapter bar will give you a straight horizontal frame that is required to mount on the FullBack 2.

That said, if you are interested in adding locks then the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT is a better option as you not only get a hitch lock with anti-rattle but also integrated bike locks.

What's special about this one is how it is also rated for use on RVs and Motorhomes which are known for having extra road vibrations and stress on the bike rack. The second option is the Swagman Current # S64678. This has a 60 lbs per bike capacity. Nice features are how it can accommodate fat tire bikes with...
