Customer Reviews
Great product. Simple design and great price. Worked on a small girls bike all the way to a full sized women's flat foot bike. I measured the minimum distance between the hooks 21 inches and with the tubes fully extended a maximum of 29 inches. Max distance between the tips of the hooks is 25.5". If the distance between the outside of your seat post and the outside stem is greater than 25.5 you would have to seperate the tubes to get the hooks around the post and stem. See photos and notes.
Both rubber hook ends are coated with a high quality rubber material that is thick and will not scratch your bike. The design is simple. Basically you have two tubes that slide in and out of each other and a quick release locking mechanism like you find on the seat post of bikes. Compared in price to the other cross bar substitutes this is a good choice. The less expensive "Allen Tension Bar" has a exposed metal end that would scratch your bike and the customer reviews complain of the spring tension design pinching their fingers. The name brand thule frame adapter is listed for over $30 dollars. Would buy again and suggest to friends.
Spent way too much time researching cross-bars. This one is as good as I thought it would be. For starters, this fits well on some of the smaller bicycles. The hooks are coated with plastic so doesn't damage bicycle finish. The quick release holds securely and releases quickly when needed. We use this to carry my daughters bicycle over mountain pass, 5 hours driving routinely. This piece of equipment levels the bike, is strong, attractive, and easy to use. I would only buy this one, it's perfect.
