Yakima Tube Top Womens or Dual Suspension Bike Rack Frame Adapter – Reviews

I purchased it on Amazon for my wife’s 24″ mountain bike. Even in its shortest length, it is still too long to secure between head tube and seat pole. Need to return it. Amazon needs to have much more clear description (especially working length) for this item.

Used it on a dual suspension Cannondale bike. It is simple to put on and take off. The only issue is that the bike will still swing back and forth if you don’t tie down your bike with rope or bungee. I am using it with the Yakima 4 bike hitch rack. The 3rd strap that is supposed to stop the bike from swinging couldn’t wrap around the vertical part of the frame but that is mainly the bike’s issue, not the adapter.

It doesn’t say it here, but on the box, this adapter should NOT extend more than 30″ from end to end. If you are worried, you might want to measure your bike from seat post to handle bar first before buying.

I bought this for my Trek step through bike and I don’t like that the bike just sits on the bar. The bike was at an odd angle on the rack and front tire hung very low. I am going to try one of the spring loaded ones so the bike isn’t at an angle and so I can mount it higher on the rack. It was also expensive for what it is.

Have used this device only once so far, and it seems to work very well. It’s very easy to use and attach to the bike, and seems very solid structurally. It is an absolute must have if you have a bike with an other then standard top tube. And since so many mountain bikes these days do, it essentially becomes a must have if you have a mountain bike. As well, if your cables run along the bottom of your top tube, you avoid having them pushed up against your bike and scratching the frame, not to mention stretching and then not shifting right, which they would do if you hung it from the top tube. The red ends of the device are coated with a rubbery material so they don’t scratch your bike. I use this device with the Yakima Swingdaddy Rack, and its a win-win combination. I would recommend both items to anyone.
