Allen Tension Bar Bicycle Cross Bar Adaptor – Reviews

This product is easy to use, and very durable. Works great with my 4-bike Allen rack.

We purchased two of these adapters and they did not perform well.
One of them showed up with the retaining clip broken. Come on, now…how can it leave the compant without a little quality control? I would have returned it in second, but we were late leaving Disney for our return trip home.
We bought these with the intent of putting our bikes on a Swagman hitch we bought for our camper. After trying to fix the retaining clip with some zip ties, we mounted them on the hitch.
After the first stop, 75 miles up the road for gas, I checked the bike rack to find one of the adapters bent at a 30-45 degree angle. It was installed on the bike correctly AND the bike was quite light in weight. Due to our itinerary we had to press on with our trip. The next day, after a gas stop, I found the other adapter bent and the handlebar retaing nuts all scratched up.
We have since completed our 1500 mile trip from FL to TX and will NOT be buying this product again. I would advise against purchasing

This is the one you want. For about $20, you can attach a woman’s, child’s, or youth’s bike onto a standard hitchmount bike rack – and effectively place it on the rack as if it were a men’s bike. We just used two of these on a 3000+ mile trip. Worked flawlessly. Without these, mounting my wife’s and son’s bikes would have been impossible on our Yakima rack. When I needed a 3rd, I had to pick one up locally. Unfortunately, the Allen model wasn’t available and I paid 50% more for another brand that works half as well.

Highest recommendation.

Works great for holding the bike on the rack. But it can be a pain… literally! Due to the spring tension and the funky retention pin, if you aren’t careful you’ll get your hand pinched. This is because you have to stretch the bar against the tension and then insert the pin. If you slip it will snap back with a lot of force. If your hand is in the way then… OUCH! The same can happen when removing the bar. This is probably guaranteed to happen to you at least once. Don’t worry, you will heal in a day or two. From then on you will pay very close attention and it should not be a problem.
