Does Saris Bones Trunk Rack Have to Use Frame Adapter When Carrying Womens Bikes
Question:
Can I safely, use this carrier for womens bikes without spending another $44 for the adapter for womens bikes???
asked by: Donna
Expert Reply:
It really depends on the bike frame as some womens bikes have top tubes that are at really extreme angles (definitely need adapter bar) and others the angle is pretty mild which you'd be okay to load onto the Saris bike rack # SA805BL without a bike frame adapter part # UB01. That said, even the more mild angled frames do tend to load easier with an adapter. The # UB01 is one of the less expensive adapters and is also one of the more easy to use ones as well.
I attached a review video for the # UB01 for you to check out as well.
