Which Bike Frame Adapter is Best for Womens Bikes
Question:
Good afternoon, I have a Swagman platform bike rack, model XC2. We now have to load my wifes bike on it but there is no bar to clamp to. I see that Swagman has a tube adapter model 64005. I think it will work although her bike dimensions are just at 22inch so this may fit with no extension. My question is which manufacture would be best in your opinion. Swagman has a thin bungee type cord internally which scares me, is the Yakima better or is there another one that you would recommend? Thank you.

My favorite bike adapter bar is the part # UB01. We have found it to be the easiest to use, it has the widest range, and it has the best price.
Using the adapter bar will be the best option for your setup so we would highly recommend it.
