Video Transcript for Yakima TubeTop Bike Adapter Bar Review

Today we are going to show you part number Y02531 from Yakima. This is their TubeTop bicycle adapter for alternative frames or womens bike frames that allows you to carry on a traditional bicycle rack. We will go ahead and install this on an alternative-frame bicycle to give you a better idea of how it works. First step is to push down on this button here. Open it up and then do the same thing on the other side. And one part will go around your handlebars, and the other half will go around your seat post. And then lock the arms back down. You will notice that the tube on this one is rather on the large side. That is because it matches both bicycle frames on the average, so that way you get a better grip on the adapter itself when you strap it onto the bicycle rack.

OK, let us go ahead and install this on a typical bicycle rack. Once you have it in place, you can move it left and right, however you need it, and then strap it down in place. All right, and that covers it for part number Y02531 from Yakima, the TubeTop.

The price, and product were great. Delivery was prompt. The bike bar adapter works great, the only issue was when using the front of the bar on the handlebar stem the front wheel was to close to the ground when mounted on the bike rack, but this was resolved by placing the front of the bar on the top of the fork tube of the frame, the extra 1 1/2" gained by doing this leveled ot the bike on the rack, and gave me the clearance needed. The bike is a 1947 Monark Super Deluxe womens bike, with a tank, and dual springer front end. Thanks for a great product !! Sincerly, Larry Wildes14538

  • What are the Dimensions for the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar, # Y02531. When measured from the inside of the clamp on one end to the inside clamp on the other end, the shortest length is 14-1/2 inches. The longest inside dimension with the bar pulled all the way out measured 30 inches. Overall length, with the bar collapsed is 23-3/4 inches, fully extended it is 31-1/2 inches long. The 2 clamps are different sizes. The internal dimensions of the smaller one are 1-1/2 inches wide by 3-

  • Does the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531, Have a Locking Feature
  • The Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, # Y02531, does not have a locking feature. It will remain at the length you set it to and will not extend or retract because it will be clamped around the seat and handle bars posts on a bike. I recommend a locking cable to secure the bike to the rack. You can use Yakima Cable Lock, # Y07233. I have included links to the installation details and a video review of the adapter bar for you to view.
