Question:
how well do womens and kids bikes fit? is an adapter needed?
asked by: Brian A
Expert Reply:
A Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531 is strongly recommended for carrying womens and kids bike on the Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack # Y02424. There might be a way you could make it work without one, but it really depends on the frame design of the bikes.
Either way though you would save your self a lot of hassle if you just used a hitch adapter, as you would eliminate any guess work with carrying your bikes and potentially carrying your bikes in a dangerous way. I attached a review video and installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
