With the Thule Apex bike rack, item # TH9025XT, a frame adapter bar like part # 64005 would span the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
We have a product demonstration video that shows the adapter bar in action. Click on the link to view the video.
