How to Secure Biria Easy Boarding Bike Without Top Tube to Swagman XC Bike Rack

Question:

I have a biria easy boarding bike. I know the tires will fit in the cradles but the ratcheting hook has no place to grab the bike. Any suggestions? I am interested in the swagman xc 2.

Depending on the distance between the seat post and handlebar stem post on your Biria bike there could be a solution for you to mount it on the Swagman XC # S64650.

A bike frame adapter bar can be used to give you a horizontal attachment point and will latch onto your seatpost and handlebar stem post. If the distance between those points on your bike is between 24 3/8" and 33 3/4" and your seat post has a diamter of 2" or less with a handlebar stem post diameter of 1-3/16" or less I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.

The bar that gives you the widest amount of distance will be the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531, which is 14-1/2" long at its shortest and 31-1/2" at its maximum length. I've added links to video reviews of these bars to show you how they work.

In addition to the adapter bars I also highly recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks # S64031. This will give you a hitch lock to secure your bike rack to your hitch and a cable lock to secure your Biria to the rack and help protect your investments. I've attached a link to a video review of this part for you to check out as well.
