Troubleshooting a Bike Seat Post that Came Off While Being Carried with a Frame Adapter Bar
Question:
I am using the swagman adapter with the swagman 4 bike rack on the back of a fifth wheel. I have lost a bike seat before because the bouncing around pulls the seat off the post. Is there any other kind of adapter for this?

Helpful Expert Reply:
There isn't an adapter for the Top Tube Adapter part # 64005 to put less pressure on the seat post.
The best recommendation I can make would be to make sure that your seat post is as tight as possible before putting it on the rack and you shouldn't have a problem. I suspect it wasn't tight enough when it came off while you were driving.
