Adapter Bar for Girls Bike Carried on Rola TX-104 4-Bike Hitch Rack 59401

Question:

Will a girls bike fit on this rack? If not, do you have an accessory for that?

Since the Rola TX-104 4-Bike Rack # 59401 has closely-spaced arms (14-inches from outside edge to outside edge) it will not require addition of a bike adapter bar # UB01 for many bikes. All you need to do is see if the girl's bike in question has a frame design that will allow the two 14-inch-spaced arms to fit inside the frame to suspend the bike level.

In cases where the bike won't fit ideally the adapter bar provides an alterative mounting surface for the carrier. The bar simply connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a substitute for the top frame tube found on a typical boy's bike. Please refer to the linked video.
