Can the Thule Doubletrack be Used with Womens Bikes  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

If you are using the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ with a bike that has an alternative frame like most womens bikes then you are going to want to use an adapter bar like the Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # SR0500 on each of those bikes. The adapter bar will hook around both the seat/handlebar post and provide a level surface for the frame hook to attach to. The frame hooks themselves can go pretty low but the issue is that if you did not use this adapter bar then you risk the frame clamps sliding down and coming loose.

Correct, so long as your bikes do not have fenders a wheel mount bike rack would be the next best option if you don't want to use an adapter bar. The best wheel mount bike rack we have for you is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR. It has the same tilting/folding feature as the Thule Doubletrack and it also comes with a lifetime warranty. Kuat may not have as big of a name as Thule but they make very reliable and well put together racks. I have attached a review video for you as well.
