Compatibility of Giant 20 Inch Bike on Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack
Question:
I have a 20” Giant Aluxx bike there is a bar across the top, but it is sloped and fairly small. Can you let me know if this bike will fit on the Thule Apex 4? Probably need to know if slope in bar is an issue? Distances between supports that the bike hangs on? And, thickness or each support bar? Thank you!

Thanks for the photo of your bike. To fit on the Thule Apex 4 # TH9025XT, you will need to use a bike adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005. This creates a top frame rail between the seat post and the handlebars. I've attached a video to assist.
