Question:

Hi Im having trouble loading kids bikes onto my Yakima Fullswing. It looks like I need to buy the top tube adaptor, but couldnt I just use this strap? I can get the bikes onto the rack, but the clamp straps that came with the Fullswing arent quite long enough....thanks!

Expert Reply:

You would not be able to use rubber straps with the Yakima FullSwing bike carrier, # Y02465, because there is no where to attach them to the carrier. You would need to use an adapter bar such as # 64005 to mount the bikes. I have linked a video showing how it works.
