Bike Frame Adapter Bar

Swagman Deluxe Adapter Bar Easy InstallationSwagman Deluxe Adapter Bar Easy Installation

This adapter bar allows you to carry a bike with a sloping top tube or step-through frame on your bike rack. It fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to ensure level transport on your hanging-style bike rack. It also creates a top tube so you can carry your bike on a frame-mount platform-style rack. The spring-loaded bar telescopes to fit multiple frame sizes, and it can be used with no-rise bike stems.


Easy Installation

Swagman Deluxe Adapter Bar Vinyl Collars

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 vinyl coating that won't scratch or scuff your bikes' paint.

This bar works great. Use it on the Townie Electra while on the Swagman Dispatch bike rack behind the camper.

Could not put my bike on the rack without the frame adapter. Easy to use and convenient.

A great solution!



by:

Swagman frame adapter fits and works well. Make sure you measure and order the correct size. Very easy to use with my two Lectric ebikes. I have model 2.0 with the step through frame



by:

I had bought 2 electric bikes with a step through frame. The Hollywood two bike rack with the center locking device doesn't extend low enough. This adapter works perfectly. Just push a release button on each end to attach below your seat and handlebars and the internal spring adjusts to your bike and the lock draws the bike down and locked into the tire wells.



by:

This is my third order from etrailer, and it was an excellent experience as were the previous orders. The order was started within hours of my placing it, and the estimation of delivery time was perfect. They have a wonderful order tracking system that allowed me to see the status/location of my order in real time. Nice communications, excellent follow through, and good prices. I'll be back.



by:

These bike frame adapter bars are so nice for our e-bikes. They work perfect for locking down the bikes with our J bars on our bike rack.great quality

This product is essential for folding ebikes and works really well, it is very easy to use and will fit any size bike.

A year ago I bought a Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar - Small - 22-1/2" - 30" - 35 lbs and also got a similar Rhino-rack brand product because I had no idea what to get. Clearly the Swagman is the better product. It opens and closes easily while the Rhino product often pinches my hand, and with each use seems to work differently.
GET a SWAGMAN.

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.



by:

Please put deliveries in boxes or plastic bags or something. My package was left outside and could have been stolen as you can clearly see what it is.



by:

As described. Won’t fit properly on irregular frames. Measure carefully for good fitting on your equipment.



by:

I bought a new ebike and needed a cross bar that would allow me to carry it on my bike rack. Easy on and easy off.



by:

Exactly as advertised. My bike structure won’t fit on the bike rack without the adapter bar, and it works perfectly.



by:

I am sure they are going to work. I bought a bike rack and the bikes we have needed this bar in order for me to use the bike rack so it works fantastic and I appreciate that. Thank you.



by:

Works great for my bike with step throu gh



by:

I'm very happy with my Swagman bike rack, fat tire cradles and the frame adaptors. Received them today and got everything set up for our Ebikes. Lauren gave me great customer service and was very in depth with her explanations of all my products she helped me order. It's nice to talk to someone that knows their product line that they sell. KUDOS!!! to Lauren.

works well -- a little loose but works well with the swagman bike rack.

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

I’m really happy with my new Draw-Tite hitch and Swagman bike rack! They work really well on my 2010 Honda Fit, and look really sleek and stylish, too. I had my local car service place put them on them for me, and the guys found them very easy to install. I’ll be carrying just one bike, so I put on just one set of tire holders, and they’re on the outer side so I can load and unload the bike without having to lift it around the backside of the mast – so easy! I also got a Swagman adapter bar (thanks for the suggestion, Alexis!) to work with the curvy step-through frame, and it’s very easy to click into place. I’m several miles away from nice safe bike trails, and I’m really enjoying how this new setup helps me go there so I can ride my new bike in a good place.



by:

I received my order of fat tire adapters and bicycle cross bar in a reasonable time. etrailer is so easy to deal with and their customer service is there for any information needed concerning their products. Their prices are unbeatable.



by:

We needed the bar now as my husband and I both have low center step through bikes. The bar works great with our Swagman Chinook bike rack.



by:

I used the bike rack for the first time today drive over 100 Miles. The installation video tutorial was excellent and helped me in installing it on my vehicle. I have a RAV4 with a spoiler and The bike rack fit perfectly not touching the spoiler as described. It was able to fit 3 bikes securely as described. I had a Thule before this and this bike rack far exceeds the quality and I feel comfortable and safe using it. I would highly recommend this bike rack and etrailer.



by:

Etrailer has been easy to order from, good service and prompt delivery. The item we purchased was exactly what we needed, works great and is made well.

  • Does A Mens Trek Marlin Need an Adapter Bar on a Hanging Style Bike Rack
    Congratulations on your new biking experience! you do need an adapter bar with the men's Trek Marlin because it has a slanted cross tube. The adapter bar part # 64005 will allow the bike to hang level on a hanging bike rack like the Hollywood Over-the-Top. If you also have a woman's bike with a slanted cross tube you may consider getting an adapter bar for that bike as well.

  • Can the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Be Clamped on Below the Seat Binder
    The Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 was designed to clamp around your bike's seat post and handlebar's stem post. That being said, if your bike is better suited for the adapter to clamp on below the binder, then that can be done as long as the diameter of your frame where you are clamping this on does not exceed 1-3/16" wide.

  • Recommended 4-Bike Hitch-Mount Carrier for Subaru Outback
    You can use either a platform-style hitch bike rack that suspends the bikes at their tires or a hanging-style rack to transport your 4 bikes on your Subaru Outback. Each type offers a mix of advantages. Platform racks do not require you to lift your bikes up as high to load them but these carriers also extend further to the rear of the car. This can mean reduced ground clearance, which can matter especially if you have a steep driveway entrance. Hanging racks tend to weigh less than platform...

  • Does Swagman Bike Adapter Bar Work With Thule Bike Racks?
    Yes, the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 will work with Thule bike racks. It simply attaches to your bike's handlebar post and seat and adjusts from 24 3/8 inches - 33 3/4 inches. If you need a recommendation on a Thule bike rack, let me know and I'd be happy to help.

  • Will the Softride Dura Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Infiniti FX35 with a 2 inch Hitch Receiver
    The Softride Dura Fit # SR26247 will fit your Infinity FX35 with a 2 inch receiver hitch. This parallelogram tilting style of bike rack allows you to tilt the bike rack away from the rear of the vehicle and allows access to the the cargo area of your Infiniti. This is a unique feature and can be used while the bikes are loaded on the bike rack, as opposed to most tilting styles of bike racks that require the bikes to be unloaded before tilting the bike rack. Although the narrow distance...

  • Fit of Yakima Ridgeback 4 Bike Rack # Y02458 On 2015 Subaru Outback w/ OEM Hitch
    Our current stock of the Yakima Ridgeback 4, part # Y02458 is all the new version with the two hitch pin holes. The rack would indeed be compatible with your 2015 Subaru Outback with the OEM hitch. If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows...

  • Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar Inside Dimensions
    According to Swagman, 22-1/2" is the smallest bike size this adapter bar will fit. The bar itself, which would be the inside dimension of the arms, reduces down to 19" when fully collapsed, I have attached a review of the adapter bar for your reference.

  • Can Swagman Bike Frame Adapter 64005 be Used on a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack
    You can definitely use the Swagman Frame Adapter part # 64005 with a hanging style trunk mounted bike rack. It would install and work the same as if you were using it on a hitch bike rack. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended 3 Bike Carrier for 2 Adult and 1 Kids Bike for 1-1/4 Inch Hitch on 2018 Nissan Versa
    For your 2018 Nissan Versa with 1-1/4 inch receiver, if you have a kids bike smaller than 20 inches, then I recommend the Thule Helium Aero 3-Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum # TH9043. This carrier has integrated locks and has a measurement of 14-3/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast, 11-1/4 inches to the lever at the base, and 4-1/2 inches to the locking knob. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's,...

  • When Do Bikes Need An Adapter Bar For Hanging Rack
    The Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes part # 64005 can be used with only 1 bike on the rack. It does not have to be used on all of the bikes. It is used to give step through bike frames like children's and women's bikes a horizontal cross tube to hang from. If your other bikes have a horizontal cross tube to hang evenly from you don't need an adapter for those bikes. If your bike rack is a platform rack and has ratcheting arms that...

  • What Materials is the Swagman Easy Out Bike Adapter Bar Made Of
    I went out to the warehouse and pulled a Swagman adapter bar, # 64005, to check the materials it is made of. The main bar itself is made of black powder coated metal. The actual clamps at the ends are nylon and are smooth and soft so they will not mar the finish of the bikes. I also made a short video showing the product and a video review link for you.

  • What Is Maximum Bike Weight For Swagman Bike Adapter for Hitch Bike Racks, # 64005,

  • Will the Thule Archway Truck Rack Fit a 2019 Dodge Durango?
    As the Thule Archway was discontinued in 2019, I cannot say what it will and will not fit, unfortunately. However, this was a confirmed fit before 2019 and I included a video we did on a 2016 Durango. I can also say that the arms on the Archway are 10 1/2 inches apart, so if your bike frames are wider than that, you will not need any adapters, like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.

  • Recommended Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack
    The frame adapter bar we recommend most often is the Swagman # 64005. It's the easiest to use and one of the more reasonably priced adapter bars we offer. The adapter bar would work just fine with your Thule Double Track.

  • Is it Necessary to use a Bike Rack Adapter Bar for Mountain Bikes
    It is not always necessary to use an adapter bar. The adapter bar has two main tasks: 1. Provide a good attachment point for the cradles on the rack 2. Level the bikes so that one of side of the rack is not bearing much more weight than the other. If you can keep the weight balanced without it and have room to get the bike on the rack, an adapter may not be necessary. It is always a good idea to use an adapter to keep the bikes level, but may not always be necessary.

  • Can the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar Be Used in Either Orientation
    The Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 can be used in either orientation. The larger opening will fit a diameter up to 2" wide and the smaller opening will fit a diameter up to 1-3/16" wide. You can attach this to your bike in which ever orientation fits your needs.

  • Can Swagman Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 Fit 1-1/2 Inch Seat Post
    I went to our warehouse and took a couple measurements of the Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter, part # 64005 for you. One end of the adapter measures 1-1/4 inches wide and the opposite end measures 2-1/8 inches, so this should fit your 1-1/2 inch seat post just fine. I have attached a photo of the # 64005 with the dimensions noted.

  • Is Frame Adapter Bar Needed for Fuji 2.3 Womens Bike on Thule Doubletrack
    The frame hooks for the Thule Doubletrack will ratchet down pretty far, but if your Fuji has a step through frame with a single down tube welded to the bottom bracket, a frame adapter bar would be necessary to carry the bike on the rack. If the frame is more conventional like what's shown in the provided photo, it should work fine without an adapter bar. We've found that the Swagman DLX frame adapter bar, part # 64005 is both inexpensive and very easy to use.

  • How to Carry a Womens Bike on a Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Carrier
    If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.

  • How Long is the Reese Eclipse Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Mount 63124
    From the back of the upright bar to the front of the bike rack on the Reese Eclipse Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, item # 63124, the distance is 26 inches. This makes the total length from the center of the hitch pin hole 34 inches when installed on the vehicle. This bike rack will work with many styles of kids bikes but you may require an adapter like the Swagman Easy-Out Women and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter, item # 64005, to adapt some child or women bike frames.

  • Recommended Bike Frame Adapter Bar To Carry Two 20 Inch Mountain Bikes on Yakima SwingDaddy #
    Any of the bike adapter bars we offer should work for your needs. The Swagman # 64005 for instance can telescope from 24 3/8 inches to 33 3/4 inches. As long as the distance between the handlebar stem and the seat post tube falls in that range, the adapter bar would work great for you. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the adapter bar.

  • How to Transport a Womans Bike with a Pro Series Eclipse Bike Rack part # 63124
    Without a bike frame adapter like the part # 64005 it would be pretty challenging to fit a women's bike on the Reese Eclipse bike rack part # 63124. The bike would end up at a pretty odd angle most likely due to the angled down tube of the bike. I would strongly recommend a # 64005 with this rack if you plan on carrying a women's bike.

  • Recommended Bike Adapter Bar for the Rola TX-103 3 Bike Carrier
    The adapter bar we recommend for the Rola TX-103 3 Bike Carrier 59403, is the Swagman Easy-Out Adapter Bar, # 64005. This adapter bar is self retracting and fits in the cradles of the Rola bike rack. The ends of this adapter bar are slightly smaller than the ends on the Thule adapter bars. I shot a video for you to check out showing the Swagman adapter bar on the Rola bike rack.

  • Bike Adapter Bar for Women's Bike for Hanging Bike Rack
    What you are looking for is a bike adapter bar, which is a bar that attaches in between the seat post and handlebar stem on women's bikes, step-through bikes, or bikes with alternative frames. The correct part for that is the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.
