Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes

by: Linda10/12/2018

I had previously purchased the swagman deluxe bike frame adapter bar to use on my bike when my husband and I took our bikes to the bike trails. When my grand daughter wanted me to pick her up from school one day to take her to the bike trails I realized that I didn't have an adapter bar for her bike so that it would fit on my bike rack so I ordered another one because I like this one so much. Now we have no problems when I need to transport both womens bikes. It arrived quickly and I had no problems. I would recommend this product to anyone who has a women's or childrens bike to transport on a bike rack. Well worth the price and very reasonable price also. 573775

Too big for the woman bike doesn’t fit well it’s a poor design. 538344

The adapter doesn't fit as well on my particular bike frame, so it's a little tricky to get the bike on and off the bike rack. However, it does the job. 573154

Works but it seems like it could inadvertently open up while going down the road. 553040

The bar arrived and we installed on the womens bike so that it would fit on the bike rack. 542837

The frame adapter is certainly substantial but I would like to see the clasping arrangement a little more secure. I haven't used it yet so the proof will be in the pudding! 554999

by: Stephen07/13/2018

Seems to work okay for our ladies bike but to secure it onto the horizontal bike rack couplings, it has square ends on both sides of the housing and the couplings accommodate a round bar. I will work, just not the right fit. 541112

I’ve arrived at a point where I visit the etrailer website first to obtain detailed information on the products I’m interested in. I then do some comparison shopping to verify Quality, Pricing and Availability. The pricing is always competitive, but their service levels are extraordinary. The communications are excellent, and the follow-up (during ordering, after ordering, and after delivery) is top notch. I’ve ordered several times now from etrailer, and most the time they have the products in inventory ready for rapid delivery. On the occasions I’ve ordered a non-stocked product, I’ve received the products before the indicated times. Their service levels have kept me as a dedicated returning customer. Thanks for all you do. 551393

Swagman, product worked for our EXACT needs! helped "equalize" 4 bicycles, of varying shapes and sizes, in order to mount them all on our bike carrier. etrailer.com has one of the BEST customer service programs I have EVER come across...HIGHLY recommend! 521081

by: Deanna10/03/2018

Works just like it should. makes carrying my bike on my rack easier and not so crooked. Strong, no problems worrying if it will stay put or hold the bike. I use it on a specialized womens rockhopper comp and a Framed Minnesota 2.0 fat bike. 571349

The "Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapters" were highly recommended to me by bike enthusiasts. These are a welcome addition to our bike rack for this coming spring, summer and fall months. I've always had problems carrying my wife's mountain bike and last year my new "Townie" - these devices will end me time and difficulty with mounting our bikes and removing then removing them from our carrier. We'll spend more time enjoying our bikes! 33350

I purchased two of these, one for a kids 20" bike (fits, but barely) and one for an adult women's bike. They are both very easy to use and absolutely do the job they are supposed to do. We used them the day after receiving and within 3 weeks we've traveled more than 1,200 miles with the bikes on the back of a 2015 Subaru Outback. I spent a great deal of time researching and I am 100% satisfied with my choice, it is a great product. Happy to answer questions from the customer perspective as needed. 218091

This thing is cool. The other night I was researching hitches and bike racks when I realized my wife's bike was not going to fit on any rack. So I was initially disappointed, then I came across this thing. I got it earlier this week and opened it tonight (by the way, I ordered Sunday night, had two or three messages from etrailer by Monday before I woke up, the last of which was telling me my order shipped - pretty awesome). It fit right on her bike and gave me a way to hang it on the rack in the garage and the rack on the car. Works great. I was concerned it would not be sturdy, but it is quite strong. Not worried about heading down the road next weekend with it. 21775

The 2 bike frame adapters are perfect for our 2 new electric bikes. Because of knee issues we ordered walk-through models, but they are hard to install on a bike carrier so these adapters make everything work together. They were well-packaged and delivered quickly to our door. etrailer.com has been a great company to work with; we've ordered other items for our boat trailer and a hanging bike rack too. I especially appreciate George from etrailer.com keeping us informed every step of the way, and it's nice that they acknowledged we are returning customers. A little thing but appreciated. We are very glad we found etrailer.com a few years back and will continue to do business with them in the future. Don't waste your time with other sites. etrailer.com will have you covered and their instructional videos are the best on the entire web! 445923

It works as advertised, however, the dimensions are a little off. It says it fits 16" to 19", but, I bought it to use on my grandson's bike that measures 17" and it just barely fits. I would say it is a little large but it works for the short distance I need to transport his bike. If I were using it on a regular basis I might consider returning it because it would eventually wear off the paint. It also allows the bike to bounce a lot because it is not really attached to the bike. 173356

I bought this one because the other snap kind adaptor almost caused me an accident on the freeway. The snap was unlocked while I was carrying the bike. So..I think this one has the pins lock. It should not come off easily. The problem is..it's not easy to put it on. The front part is not bad you just turn the knob. The back part is not easy. I don't know why they just use a knob like the front!!! Another thing the bar came in 2 pcs and they can come apart so easy. When putting on the bike, it feel loose. 8247

This adapter was just what I was looking for, and etrailer was the place to get it! Works great on my wife's bike for the bicycle hook in the garage, and the carrier on the car. Easy to use, and a good price, along with quick service. Ordered Monday, it arrived Friday. 89917

We could not go without it. It can be a little tricky putting it on the bike, however, its a lot easier once you put it on and take it off the bike a few times. We use it to carry my wifes bike on the carrier, and for hanging it on the hook in the garage.

I was unsure of which alternative frame bike adapter to buy so I bought two (S64004 and S64005). After using both of these, I would ONLY buy product S64005. The S64004 product is very cumbersome to put on your bike. The tubes don't stay together and it will take you 15mins to get it put on your bike. Also, it will scratch your seat post and handlebar stem. The S64005 bike adapter is the one to buy! It is very simple and easy design. Very easy to get on and off your bike in 1min. The tubes stay together with a magnet type design. No scratches, no hassle! I would recommend buying this product for sure! (S64005!!) 20646

Absolutely Wunderbar (wonderful)! etrailer support U.S. Service member by being one of the ONLY online vehicle equipment ordering organizations that ships to an APO address. (and I searched a ton of them) I live in Germany and work for the DoD. After researching SEVERAL sites to purchase and ship a trailer hitch, bike rack, mountain bike mount and electrical system to support it for my needs, I discovered my ONLY solution I was etrailer. Lots of others had the gear I required, but NONE of them, would ship to an APO address. Yes, the prices were just a bit higher than a few of the other sites, but without the ability to ship to an APO, the price difference was negligable. So, the GREAT things about etrailer; 1. Easy/simple ordering process 2. great seach tool capability, allowing me to find everything I needed and recommended other items I may not have thought about. 3. Simple / well layed out online order ability. 4. Amazingly quick, delivery. Within 10 days of my order being placed, I had everything in the mail. Yes, shipping cost a bit more than desired, but again, paying a bit more to ship at least allowed it to actually BE shipped to my APO. I've already had hitch and electrical installed and I'll be heading out camping this weekend, WITH my bikes in TOW and all thanks to etrailers exceptional support. Thanks ETRAILER Jason S. 52004

Seems like a nice product when you first hold it in your hands. Solid build and tough quality. It does what it is supposed to do very well, which is to give you additional clearance on odd frames, like women's specific geometry, to mount to the rack. The biggest problem is because of the needs of the design, the bike will sway quite a lot. So much so that it totally negates the benefit of the swagman XP standard racks rock solid mounting. I had to strap down the bike to ensure the bike doesn't sway so much. It may be a necessary evil... but the jury is out as I just got it and only got 3.5 hours of driving with it. 23802

I have a comfort bike and an Subaru Impreza that sits close to the ground. This combination has the front tire of my bike sitting too close for comfort to the ground when on a hill or incline. If the part that hooks to the front of the bike could push that end of the bike up a few more inches, it would be excellent. I'm currently using layers of Velcro around the bike to give it this boost. 82413

Still using Velcro, but overall, Im happy with my purchase. I have noticed a little rust on the buttons that open each end of the adapter, which is strange because its never been in the rain or gotten wet.

Angel M - 05/29/2014

The moisture in the air can be enough to get these stamped metal buttons to rust a bit. A spray of oil or something like WD-40 every now and then will help slow it.

We love the bike rack. Very well built. We had a girls bike that we also got the adapter bar to fit the rack. Very sturdy & well built also. Couldn't be happier with the rack & the service we had ordering it. 135049

Product works great for keeping bikes level on rack. Bought one for my men's bike too so I can reduce the wear and tear on the top tube. 107490

After a year, the product is still working great. Because they are in the weather so much, a little light lube was used to keep the mechanisms working freely, but theres no deterioration of product function. These make loading multiple bikes a pleasure now rather than a puzzle.

Works as designed but it does not seem to have a way of locking it onto the bike for theft security. 116258

I bought a new car-I had a Camry and now a Honda CRV. I went to e-trailer to purchase the appropriate hitch for the CRV so I could still use the Swagman Bike Rack. What I did not count on was Swagmans ability to tilt out of the way of the CRVs lift tail gate. I was happy about this. Great rack!

I called Swagman with the problem that my daughter's new bike couldn't fit in the existing bike rack cradles. They directed me to eTrailers and gave me the part number I needed. Less than a week later the adapter arrived, and it is just what I needed. My only minor problem was that my daughter has her seat adjusted low, so I had to move the reflector off the seat stem in order to make room for the adapter. 25075

The Standard Bike Adapter Bar works great on my wife's bike using a two bike rack. 8472

I was looking for something to help hang my wife's bike on a car bike rack. The girls style bike is hard to hang properly if at all. I found this adapter bar on etrailer. I ordered it and wow.....Works nice, just what I needed. The service from trailer IS top notch. I was told personally when my order would arrive @ wanting to use it for a vacation very soon. I will do business again with trailer. Thank you. 84111

by: Christine P08/30/2017

Stupid easy to use. In fact, so easy I was convinced I must be missing a part or something. It worked well and I could not have loaded my women's bicycle onto the rack without it. It's hard to see in my picture but it's right under he seat of the grey bike on the front. 426837

Quality product, does the job for kid’s bikes. Will not work on 16” kid’s bike, however — won’t collapse that small. 440531

I have a female bike so I needed the adapter so my bike could fit on the bike rack. Customer Service helped me select the product. I recommend product. 183018

Great product, Even though I didn’t find instructions it was pretty self explanatory. I am excited that I can use my bicycle rack now and don’t have to fanagel it into the back of my Jeep. 542847

Haven't used this product much, but works great no problems for the money 542175

by: Stephen07/16/2018

Simple to use. Had a worker at the bike shop show me how to use it on a new bike, but very easy to use. 542150

I bought two of these bars for girls bikes, they allowed the bikes to be mounted on the rack just as easy as a boys bike. With out them, the girls bikes would be oddly mounted and could cause problems mounting other bikes. Great addition to the bike rack, you can't go wrong buying this. 541802

works great for transporting wife's bike with swagman bike rack. 541279

It fits my wife’s old mountain bike well. It would get narrow enough to clamp on my 16” son’s bike but then there wasn’t enough room between the bar and the bike’s top tube to put in on the Thule Vertex 4 bike rack. It is high quality, well made, and easy to use. No problems. 594016

by: ChicagoChuck12/09/2018

Works OK, does the job, but doesn't hold the bike up as much as I was hoping. 589583
