Carrying a Womens Bike Level on a Hanging Bike Rack
Question:
I dont see a clear example of two bikes being carried, with one of them having a womans frame, i.e., it is sloped down from the handle bars to the seat riser, not straight across from the handle bar to the seat riser. Will this frame work with such a bike?

Expert Reply:
The Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe, part # S80501, does carry up to 2 bikes. Bikes, like a typical men's bike, with a straight, horizontal cross tube hang from that tube and are therefore level. For women's bikes, or any alternative frames that don't have the horizontal cross tube, you can use an adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005. It connects to the seat post and the handle bar stem to create a level place to hang the bikes.
Also, to secure the bikes to the rack add a cable lock like part # e98891.
