Bike frame bar adapter allows you to transport a woman's, child's or full-suspension bicycle on your hitch-, trunk- or spare-tire-mounted bicycle rack. Telescoping bar fits a variety of bike sizes and will not scratch your bike's finish.I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.
After some "spousal team building" we got the rack assembled. We tested it today 10-13-19. This is a very sturdy, well-built rack. We depended on the etrailer team to select this rack for our e-bicycles based on our vehicle and description of the bikes. As with the bikes, the rack is heavy. It is carrying two 50-60 pound bicycles. It was nice to have security locks too. The adapter bar for my bike worked perfectly. Definitely appreciated the support from the guys at etrailer which made my decision to purchase from this company rather than looking elsewhere.
Kathie - 10/14/2020Very satisfied with this and EVERY product I’ve purchased from etrailer!! This company is simply outstanding. I’ve purchased several hitches, bike racks and accessories, all were top notch quality and shipped next day.
Daniel - 03/09/2021Works exactly as shown. Using it with a ladies stepthru ebike. Bike is very secure on my Hollywood Sport bike rack. Excellent service from etrailer. Shipping was fast and well packaged.
Have two bikes one is my Schwinn bike and the other is my 12 year old bike. And the frame on both of thesenbikes made it difficult to mount on my bike rack. But after using the extended bike adaptor HRBA Pro. It made a world of difference and made mounting the bikes ease and easy. And it extends so that helped also.
Lorena O - 07/04/2020The quality is outstanding, seems really secure. I didn’t fully understand how the 20” min worked, but it won’t fit on our 12” dia wheel bikes. Not an issue, will just toss those in the back. We are using these on our Thule apex xt 5...looking forward to our first outing.
Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle. I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance. Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.
it was easy to put on the bike,and fit perfectly on the bike rack.
Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame. It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use
Good morning Alex, I tried out the new HRBA PRO yesterday on my wife's bike. It worked great on the bike rack. I'm sure glad I spoke to you before sending it back. Thank you for knowing what to do. Much appreciated.
This works well for non-traditional bike frames. Able to put bike on rack without a problem. Feels very solid and durable.
So far, so good. The weather has not permitted me to mount the bikes with the Hollywood adapter bar; however, it does fit both bikes. My daughter's Trek mountain bike is 22" from the outsides of the seat mount and handlebar mount, and my Trek is 26 inches. The bar fits both. I would recommend etrailer, and others, to put one more, and a very important, measurement in their description. On the box and instructions of the adapter bar, it states that the minimum bar length is 20 inches on center of the seat mount and handlebar mount. I reviewed over 17 adapter bars looking for one that would accommodate both bikes. Had I had this one measurement, it would have made my decision much easier. Fortunately, Greg, the person I worked with at etrailer narrowed my choice down to two bars, the Thule and the Hollywood. The Hollywood is of stronger material and priced much less. I cannot wait to ride once the weather cooperates. Be back with more comments in a bit. Cheers.
I just received and tried out my "Hollywood Racks Frame Adapter", model HRBA-PRO. This adapter bar is well built and easily installed. More importantly, it enables me to secure my wife's unconventional bike frame on to the bike rack FAR BETTER and MORE QUICKLY than before! Kudos to etrailer.com for their on line support in helping me make the decision. Their on line installation video was also helpful, the delivery was quick, and the price was the best I found online!
Great product. Keeps the woman's bike straight on the rack. The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place. Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike. Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.
Functioned as advertised and fit easily around my women's 1975 step-through Schwinn. The product has a real no-brainer design that is secure. I have no reason to question its ability to hold my bike on the rack regardless of road condition or reasonable driving speed.
Works great for our electric step thru cruiser bikes.
They were initially out of stock on the adapter that I needed. They quickly told me that they were back ordered. They recommended an alternative and quickly and swiftly exchanged it. Love this company.
Packaged very well; received it today... pretty easy to put together (says my bf). Looks great! Trying it out tomorrow On my ‘18 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S
This bar attaches to our bikes to keep them secure on the rack. Easy on and off.
Great bike adapter bar. Well constructed, with the locking mechanism at both ends very secure. Ends are made of some high density polymer/plastic, so it does not scratch the bike. I used this on a folding back and it works well on my hitch bike rack. Highly recommended!
I looked at many bike racks before I chose the Hollywood rack to carry our 2 electric bikes. It’s the best for carrying heavy ebikes and as far safety and security I have complete confidence that our bikes will get to our destination without any problems. The Hollywood rack is easy to mount to our car and to load our bikes on it. We also purchased the bike frame adapters, these helped tremendously to keep our bikes secure to the racks while traveling. I also want to thank your sales people at etrailer they’re knowledge and support made the decision much more easier to select the Hollywood rack to carry our ebikes. Thanks again!!
Practical, a good value, secures 'step thru' bike to carrier. Etrailer website easy to use, has lots of detailed information and videos of each item. Customer service and shipping responded timely and accurately to my order. Very pleased with Etrailer.
Great product , great price , quick delivery . I will definatley do business with etrailer.com again !
