Specs:
This deluxe adapter bar allows you to carry a bike with a sloping top tube, a children's bike, or a full-suspension bike on your bike rack. It fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to ensure level transport on your hitch-, trunk-, or spare-tire-mounted bike rack. The bar's length can be adjusted from 22" to 29" to fit multiple frame sizes, and it can be used with no-rise bike stems.
To install the adapter bar simply open the hooks with the integrated release buttons, wrap one hook around your handlebar stem post and the other around your seat post, and close the hooks. The hooks open outward - parallel with the bar - to help you avoid interference from the seat and handlebars during installation. The bar has red "Up" indicators on each end to help prevent incorrect installation.
The hooks have a soft vinyl coating that won't scratch or scuff your bikes' paint. The bar is constructed of durable steel and has a black powder coat finish that resists rust.

We've go two loops here. Let's put the larger end around our seat post.
We'll press in on our little detent, opening it up, place it around, and then close it. Then we'll take the smaller one. Open it up just the same. We'll bring it around and close it up.Now we can get ready to load up our bike and undo our straps on our bike rack. We'll bring our bike up and as you can see, it's going to create an even mounting surface for our bike to hang.

Adapter bar lets you carry a woman's, child's, or full-suspension bicycle on your hanging-style, hitch-mounted bike rack. Spring-loaded bar telescopes from 22" to 29" long. Vinyl-coated hooks won't scratch your bike.Product is good but it doesn't fit to my Childs 12 inches bike, disappointed because I won't be able to put my sons little bike to the rack. Giving 1 star because I was told by the Customer Care agent of Etrailer that this will allow me to load my sons bike to the hitch I ordered. 659115
The adapter bar would connect to the bike by spanning the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post. The bar will adjust in width from 22-29 inches, so if the bikes handlebar gooseneck to seat post distance is less than 22 inches, the bar will not work.

Mike L - 06/19/2019Works but it seems like it could inadvertently open up while going down the road. 553040
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
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!
Norm E - 02/12/2015This 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.
Roger W - 07/25/2014I 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
This frame bike adapter 64005 is very nice easy to use and seems to work well. Frank k. 213387
its the best very happy with it.
Frank k - 07/20/2016Absolutely 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
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
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
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 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
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
The Standard Bike Adapter Bar works great on my wife's bike using a two bike rack. 8472
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 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
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
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
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.
Bill U - 11/15/2014
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
Too big for the woman bike doesn’t fit well it’s a poor design. 538344
Easy to use... 53031
well built. It does a good job holding the bikes in place. 730028
Previous purchaser from etrailer.com. Bought 3 Swagman ETC bike carriers for each of our kids/spouses. The carriers came in two days! Great website makes it easy to evaluate, review and then choose the item you want! 729219
appears to be a great product. Haven't used it yet. 721695
Fit and worked as described. 717972
My second tow-hitch bike carrier. I love the price and assembly simplicity of this item - 10 minutes :) Also good proactive prompting/information from etrailer on options for compatibility with women's bikes and the use of the Swagman bike frame adapter bar. My go-to online retailer for all things trailer/hitch. 716202
I bought the extender to help with putting a smaller bike on my bike rack. It worked like a charm. I highly recommend having one on hand. 714382
Works great to adapt my wife’s smaller women’s frame and avoid damage to the bike that’s happened in the past without it. 711347
Very nice, quality rack. Holds mountain bikes firmly. Accepts my E-Bikes (with bike adapater bar-Swagman). 714933
outstanding customer service form the initial phone call, to follow up and execution of the order delivery very impressed would recommend to anyone thank you 707555
Needed this for my wife's and my daughter's bikes. They work perfectly! 705917
Thule I purchased Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount.–SEPT. 3rd 2019 I hauled my bikes over some of the toughest roads in NY to see how well the Raceway Pro-2 would hold up. I kept looking out of my rearview mirror to make sure our bikes were not laying in the road or another car's windshield but I had to know if the videos and reviews were true. I gave the Raceway Pro 2-BIKE RACK 5 stars since it behaved as advertised. I did not realize how heavy the bike rack was but it is a well-constructed product. Since gaining confidence in the stability /strength of the Raceway Pro I have taken my bikes on the highway, over bumpy roads with potholes and the bikes held steady and did not sway. I can also say the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar I purchased for my wife’s bike worked as advertised. With the bike key locking method we felt safe enough to leave the bikes locked in a parking lot while we had breakfast. I recommend Raceway Pro for those who enjoy bicycle riding and want their bikes to be secure while traveling. I would suggest however to those who are frequent bike riders to purchase additional replacement stretch bands because I don’t know the strength of the bands long term. It’s always good to have a spare should a rubber band snaps and you don’t have a spare. Just a precaution. Safe travels 705795
Excellent service and excellent bike rack. Sturdy, easy to use, and fits every vehicle we've owned since we bought it. We may have to buy another. 700240
This bar makes it easy to get my vintage step-through frame women's bike up on my Inno bike rack. I like the buttons that you have to press to lock/unlock so I know the hooks will not open up on their own. I wish both of the hooks opened up to the side instead of just one so it would be easier to navigate around all of my brake cables, etc. on my older bike. Would purchase again! 697215
Works like a charm. Functions as advert ised. 697187
I have used etrailer twice in the last five years, both times with excellent results. I bought a trailer hitch previously and a bike rack recently. The products are great with quick delivery and outstanding customer service. Barry L helped me make sure I ordered the products I needed and followed the delivery process to my door. Thanks etrailer 699253
I have installed and will be going on a 3 week trip. Easy to connect and seems to be very sturdy. 694544
Great product, highly recommend 692258
Giving it 5 stars now that it works with my wife's bike on the rack. Will update if I incur any issues on our drive to vacation. 688811
Allowed bike to ride horizontally on bike carrier, performed as described. Good product, great service Etrailer should be the first place to look for anything dealing with trailering. 681569
Great product and timely shipping! 679214
Exactly what I needed for my low-entry bicycle. Super easy to put on and off without damaging my frame. I’ve seen others that have metal components on the end with complaints of chipping paint on your frame but there are no worries with this one! 677778
Product works reasonable well and is pretty well manufactured. 677108
Durable, easy to use, works great for bikes too small for the 2-bike Rhino Rack. Highly recommended. 671315
It is very useful for carrying ladies bikes on the trailer. Secure, dependable, easy to use. Adjustable to fit a variety of sizes but the hoops that go around the bike frame can be a tight squeeze for thicker models of bikes. 667597
Product is great, we have used the bike rack several times already. Derek provided great customer service and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Thanks! 667003
Must have for each female bike. If you carry two female bikes, you have to have two of this one for each bike. But works well. 664227
Works well 655356
