Bike Frame Adapter for Hanging-Style Carriers

Rhino Rack Adapter for Bike Frames

If you have a bicycle with an irregular frame - such as a woman's, child's, or full-suspension bike - you may need a bike adapter bar to carry your bike on a single- or dual-arm, hanging-style bike rack. This adapter bar creates a horizontal mounting point that ensures your bike will hang level on the rack for safe transport.


Telescoping Tube and Easy-To-Use Collars

Rhino Rack Bike Frame Adapter

This adapter telescopes from 23" to 29" long. The ends of the telescoping tube have plastic collars that clamp around your bike's seat post and handlebar stem post. To open a collar, push down on the tab and slide it open.


Rhino Rack Frame Adapter Clamped Bike

Place the collar around your bike frame and slide it back into place until it secures with an audible click. These plastic collars help protect your bike from scratches. And the black powder coated steel construction resists rust.

Wish we bought these 2 years ago. Easy to use and work great with our step thru ebikes. This gives a place to easily tie down the bikes on the bike rack.



by:

The Rhino-Rack is well made and makes loading a woman's bike easier. It fits well with this rack.



by:

This was part of my third order from etrailer.com. We needed something to make carrying my wife's bike easier. Shipment arrived this morning along with the rack. This is extremely well made and should last a lone time. This makes carrying a girls bike really easy. Have already installed rack and bikes on RV and took it for a test drive. Perfect!!! Would recommend the adaptor bar over similar products I looked at locally.

After my last review we went on a 7000 mile RV trip through 9 states which lasted 27 days. The rack and bar were great. At night all we had to do was easily remove the bikes and lower the rack out of the way for access to RV storage if needed. I would periodically check the bikes and all were really secured. Getting ready for another trip 0f 5000 miles. Don’t have to worry about our bikes.I had previously purchased a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier which has been used on a3500 mile trip. Performed great. No problem in loading or unloading our scooter. Thanks for great products.



by:

Bought it for my wife's new, as yet undelivered, bike. I've used these before and this one looks very heavy duty and I expect it'll provide excellent service. The fit and finish are well done. The ends that will attach to the bike appear to have a very robust material coating that will protect the bike's finish when used. I expect the adapter bar will work very well and provide years of service with little maintenance required, if any.

The adapter bar for my wifes bike has worked perfectly. Its easy to install and remove and is very secure once installed. I added some foam to protect the bars finish from the bike rack J-hook and it still looks like new. Very satisfied with the adapter bar.



by:

Very pleased with overall experience dealing with customer representative Wayne. Placed my order and asked a number of questions regarding the Thule rack that I wished to purchase. All questions were answered in a highly professional way. Received a quick delivery of product in 3 days although a 4 day window was given. Very happy with my purchase. Have not used the rack yet, but feel content that it was a good choice. Will get back to you in future after using rack, and hope to be able to give a good review along with some photo's. Thanks again, Wayne and E-Trailer.

Have been using the Thule Rhino Rack to transport my wife and grandchildrens bicycles over the past year and find product very easy to install and does just what it is intended to do very well. Keeps bikes stable and level while transporting. Good product. George E.



by:

The Product looks great and seems to be easy to follow directions this shipment is one of two that I have ordered my other order will be in tomorrow. Thanks for the follow up .



by:

Picked this up for my daughter when she moved away so that she can always have her bike with her. This makes it so easy for her to attache her bike to the rack on the back of her car.



by:

Easy to put and take off. Works perfect ly!



by:

The reason I chose this rack is we have (2) 75 pound ebikes that needed a very strong rack. This rack works great once I figured out how to space the bikes properly. Very strong and sturdy. I just fold down the center post and load the first bike, raise it and load bike 2. The frame bar adapters work well with these bikes.

We travel in a motorhome and tow a pickup truck . Something I don’t understand is this rack is not recommended for use on a towed vehicle.

What is the difference between driving a vehicle with the bike rack and towing the vehicle as far as the use of the rack?

Thanks You



by:

This Rhino rack bike frame adapter works great.We use it on my wifes step through e bike.It is easy to use and does not come loose at all when in use on the bike rack.would recommend.Thank you etrailer for the great customer support.



by:

My wife's bicycle is too small to be held firmly in the hitch rack. This adapter bar makes it workable and easier to lock with the other bike in the rack.



by:

The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame adapter bar worked perfectly on my wife's Trek hybrid. A must-have accessory for any womon's bike that will go on a bike rack like the Hitching Post Pro.



by:

I am very pleased with my bike rack. Assembly was easy and I also ordered the Rhino adapter bar for my bike which I managed with no problem. I like the fact that it folds down to allows easy storage. I had no problem lifting my bike on the rack and securing it. I highly recommend this rack. Love it!



by:

I have a difficult car fit for a rear bike rack. etrailer is where I found the only option. The Yakima instructions were horrible, but I figured it out. That said, etrailer is great - I loved seeing who handled my order, quick delivery, great communication. I had to return one thing, and that was a breeze too. I highly recommend etrailer.com.



by:

This easy device made my life a lot easier. Carrying 2 ladies bikes on my bike carrier was a bit difficult. this adapter helped keep the bikes level during transport. I recommend buying this device.



by:

Looking good!



by:

We have a bike rack with trays, so bikes sit on it and arw racheted down instead of hanging. Our new bikes are Townie step-throughs so could not ratchet down. This appears to be perfect for us! And Adam at e-trailer was a great help!



by:

The product was delivered in a timely matter and exactly what I expected. I appreciate etrailer website. Their videos and detailed product descriptions help the consumer select the product they need.



by:

I received the Rhino-Rack frame adapter bar and I'm very satisfied with the item. It works just as advertised and is extremely strong and holds my bikes (I bought two) securely. I highly recommend it for transporting bikes.



by:

Easy to use, works great to be able to use my bike rack for my full suspension bike. Very solid construction, inspires confidence.



by:

We have used this product twice now. It has worked great. If this product hadn't been created, we wouldn't be able to use our bike rack. It is made of high quality materials. It is easy to use and really helped us out, given that we are novice at the bike rack situation.



by:

Easy to use and fit my long wheelbase bikes just fine.

Still working great. Hold my bikes securely on my rear rack. Easy to use. Would buy again if needed



by:

Does what I needed it to do. Levels out a slanted bike frame to fit on a standard rack.



by:

Excellent quality. Holds bikes on rack through the roughest of roads. Easy to attach and take off.



by:

Great product. I like it because the ends that lock to your bike slide open and it locks in place when closed not like the cheaper ones.

  • Recommended Budget Bike Rack for 2015 Honda CR-V
    I have a few different recommendations for your 2015 Honda CR-V that you will want to look at. Guardian 3 Bike Carrier # SAR43FR will fit on the trunk of your Honda so you can make sure that the space on your roof and cargo area remains free. Keep in mind you will also need to get the Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks # SA3035 for installation on any of the Saris brand bike racks. Since it looks like you have some varying bike frames that might not sit properly on the bike...

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendations For Carrying Electra Townies On A 2018 Infinity QX30
    This is a tricky question because there seem to be some limitations to how you can attach a trunk rack to your vehicle. Thule does not even offer a trunk bike rack that will fit your 2018 Infiniti QX30. As is stands, there is not a platform style trunk bike rack that will mount to your vehicle. However, if you still want trunk bike rack, Yakima and Saris have trunk bike rack options that will fit your vehicle. If I am forced to choose a trunk bike rack, I would pick the Saris Bones 3,...

  • Is the Ramp on the # Y96FR Long Enough to Use on a Fifth-Wheel Trailer?
    I assume you are referring to the Yakima OnRamp - 2" # Y36FR because this is the version that is constructed to withstand the added torque and force exerted on the rack when mounted on a 5th-wheel trailer. It is important to note that the weight capacity of this rack decreases to 40 pounds per bike when mounted on a trailer. When determining if the ramp is long enough to use, it really depends on the height of your hitch receiver on the trailer. Since the ramp measures 51 inches long,...

  • Bike Rack Options For Carrying A 42LB E-Bike With a 2022 Toyota Sienna
    I recommend using the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack # 298-BK1910-AB as the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack # TH910XT is only rated for bikes up to 35lbs. If you can remove the battery and get the bike weight below the 35lb rating you will be able to use the Thule rack but you may still need a Bike Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021 if your bike does not have the main bar that runs from the seat post to the handlebars. The SeaSucker is capable of supporting up to 45lbs and will fit your 2022 Toyota...

  • Which Bike Rack Is Best For Carrying Electric Bike On Motorhome Hitch?
    I have a solution for you, but the Lets Go Aero BikeWing-2 NextGen 2-Bike Rack you are referring to has a weight capacity of 40lbs per bike, which would not be sufficient for an electric bike weighing 65lbs. Instead, I would look into the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY74FR which has a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike and is compatible with motorhomes that have 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch receivers. Keep in mind, since your radrunner 1 seems to be a...

  • Lightweight Aluminum Bike Rack Recommendation for 2 Townie-Style Bikes
    If you are looking for a quality lightweight aluminum rack with rust resistance, the Thule Helium # TH9042PRO is one of the most lightweight aluminum racks we carry at only 19 pounds. You are absolutely correct about needing a bike frame adapter bar # RRRBCA021 for using your 2 townie-style step-thru bikes with this rack. For another recommendation of a rust-resistant aluminum rack that doesn't require an adapter, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. The rack comes with a few color options: -...

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes on a Rack While Towing a Boat Trailer
    I believe you are referring to the answer that says to use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers, part # D210, along with a bike rack in the upper 2" receiver to be able to carry your bikes while towing. This can be done, but there are some things to keep in mind. First, this ball mount has a 2" drop, so you will need to be sure this is acceptable for your trailer's coupler. Second, the total amount of tongue weight this ball mount can handle...

  • What Bike rack Do You Recommend for Fat Tire Electric Bikes that Weigh 70 Pounds Each?
    For a bike rack that has a per-bike weight capacity that can hold your two 70-pound electric fat tire bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds. It will also accommodate fat tire bikes up to a tire width of 5 inches. In addition, the frame hooks that secure your bike lock to deter theft. If your electric bikes have a women's style-frame,...

  • Platform Style 2 Bike Rack Fit for 2014 Nissan Rogue
    The Swagman Dispatch, part # S44FR, will work with your 2014 Nissan Rogue. This bike rack is compatible with the 2 x 2 inch receiver on your Class III trailer hitch. This bike rack is designed to be carried without a ball mount. I have attached a review video of this platform bike rack for you. If you plan on carrying bikes with alternative or step-though frames that lack a tradition top frame bar, I recommend using an adapter bar, like this one by Rhino-Rack # RRRBCA021. The adapter...

  • Bike Adapter Bar Compatible with Bike That Has 20-Inch Spacing Between Handlebar Stem and Seat Post
    The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021 is sized to work best on bikes that have a handlebar to seat post distance of 23 to 29-inches. But since we offer these adapter bars from many makers we can find one for you that will better fit the 20-inch span on your wife's bike. Instead you can use the Kuat Ubar # UB01, the Hollywood Racks # HRBA-PRO or the SportRack # SR0500. All of these can accommodate the 20-inch spacing.

  • How To Carry Bikes While Towing a Boat Trailer
    I do have an option for you but I can't say I have ever heard of someone mounting a bike rack directly to the tongue of their trailer nor do I have an option for this. The best option to carry your bikes while towing is between the trailer and vehicle. This option will also allow for a much greater variety of bike racks to be used as well because they don't need to be rated for use on a trailer. In order to carry your bikes between the trailer and vehicle you will first need a dual ball...

  • What is the Measurement of the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR From the Pinhole to Center of First Cradle?
    We went ahead and pulled the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR from the warehouse and confirmed that the measurement from the center of the pinhole to the center of the front bike cradle is 16-1/2 inches long. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows this measurement. If you are still having clearance issues with this length, the absolute best route is to use a trailer-approved bike rack to install at the rear of your trailer. For a great rack, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for...

  • Bike Rack Options For Downhill Mountain Bike With Slanted Frame
    I can see how the frame of your sons bike has a slanted cross tube which may make it difficult to properly hang it on a hanging bike rack because there is not a horizontal surface to hang the bike from. That would be the same issue you will have with the Malone RunWay part # MPG2130 because it's a hanging bike rack. One way to possibly fix this is to use a Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes part # RRRBCA021 which attaches at the handle bar stem and...

    Yes! I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR fits a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. As far as the shape of the sharp slanted downtubes of your bikes, I recommend using a bike frame adapter bar # RRRBCA021 for each bike. This adapter bar will provide your bikes with a straight, horizontal plane that is required to attach to the arms of the rack. I went ahead and attached a video that shows how the adapter works with a bike frame similar to yours. As far as weight capacity,...

  • Curt 2 Bike Platform C18085 and Malone RunWay 2-Bike MPG2149 Through Bike Compatibility
    Both the Curt 2 # C18085 and the Malone RunWay 2 # MPG2149 will work with a step through bike like yours but you will need to get an adapter bar like the Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021. This will just go in between your handle bars and your seat! Both are pretty much that same thing but if it were me, I would get the Curt 2 just because it can fold in half for better storage and/or to unblock tailights. I've included a video to help show you how they work!

  • Will Hollywood Racks Traveler 4-Bike Carrier Clear Bumper Of 2017 Acrua RDX With Recessed Hitch?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13130 measures 6" from the hitch pin hole to the rear of the 2017 Acura RDX (this can be seen in one of the attached demonstration videos). Since the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500 measures 9-1/2" from the hitch pin hole, you will have plenty of clearance between your bumper and the bike rack's upright bar. This is a really nice bike rack but keep in mind you may need to use adapter bar # RRRBCA021 to secure...

  • Will Bike Rack Anti-Sway Cradles be Compatible With Bike Frame Adapter Bar
    The anti-sway cradle will still work. The rubber strap for the anti sway strap can be attached at any place on the seat post down tube. Using a frame adapter bar won't affect that fit, as you can see in the photo I've provided. As far as frame adapters go, we really like the # 64005 from Swagman because it's the easiest to use adapter bar we offer.

  • Can Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack Be Used With Lightweight Electric Bike On Prius?
    Trunk bike racks are not typically recommended for electric bikes due to weight capacity issues, however, it seems as though you may be able to reduce the weight of your ebike down to the 35lb capacity of the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT. If you are able to reduce the weight down to 35lbs then you will also need to use an adapter bar like # RRRBCA021 since it is a step through bike. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.

    This Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack # HR200Z is a fine option. Weighing 34lbs with a capacity of 45lbs per bike, it is sufficient for your Trek ebike. One consideration with this rack however is that if your Trek ebike has an angled/curved crossbar, an adapter bar would be needed. The Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # RRRBCA021 is my recommendation if this is the case. Another option to consider is a platform style, frame...

I highly recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # TH78VR.

The option I recommend instead is from a similar high-quality manufacturer, Yakima: - Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02634 I really like the FullBack for a number of reasons, starting with its strong anti-sway cradles and ratcheting straps which secure your bikes at three different points.

It is important to check your owner's manual for your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and tongue weight capacity before deciding what cargo you want to...
