These individual cradles rotate to accommodate a variety of bike frames. Each cushioned cradle encirles the top crossbar of a bike as it is mounted to the bike carrier. In this case, when loading a bike onto the carrier, you would loosen the knob at the top of the cradle and place the bike onto bottom cradle pad. Then simply tighten the knob down to close the cradle over the bike's frame. The rotating aspect of these cradles provides more flexibility as it will work with a lot of women's and alternative frame bikes. The rotating cradles also help to keep a women's or alternative frame bike level on the carrier, providing better ground clearance.
