Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar
Second time in a row that ordering from etrailer saved me money over the manufacturer. At the time of ordering these bars Yakima’s site was charging $39 for them, etrailer was $29 and with free, (over $99 since I bought 4) fast shipping. I would advise anyone to do your comparative shopping with etrailer, same brand name just cheaper.
Purchased this unit only after my original adapter bar (from Swagman) was on back order. I called eTrailer after not seeing any activity from my order in 2 days. That's when I was made aware that it was not available for another couple of weeks. Not a big deal but would have liked to be notified sooner and not have the rest of my order delayed because of the adapter bar. The unit is well built, heavy duty and very sturdy. Locking arms lock in place with a click to let you know they're locked. Doesn't fit my wife's bike that well (a bit long) but I've gotten it to work. Used it over the weekend on a 4hr trip and looked and performed great. Thanks eTrailer

Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar - Small - 22-1/2" - 30" - 35 lbs
Great Bike rack. I've used it now for two months both on my truck and the 5th wheel. Very sturdy and safe. Easy to assemble, hook up and load. One small glitch; my 5th wheel has a window in back and the handlebar came close to the window causing concern of window damage, but my wife found a piece of round foam that works great to help this. (see pic) Glad I researched and got this one. Frame adapter bar works simply for step-through bike too.
This bar works great. Use it on the Townie Electra while on the Swagman Dispatch bike rack behind the camper.

Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes
I love the bar, it is super sturdy and works perfectly for all of our bikes given the compact frame. I did have my bike on the back of my car with the Thule rack I ordered, and unless it was just super windy that day traveling on the highway, I feel like my bike was swaying while on the bar even though I had the strap between the tires. I have used it since for short trips, but have figured out a way to use the extra strap to run it through the rack and the bike to prevent the bike from pulling away from the car while on the bar.
Bought this Thule bike adapter bar for my wife's Mango Longboard fat-tire beach cruiser. We already had the Thule 2-bike carrier, not sure what model number. The bar works fine for hanging the bike on the carrier, but we haven't traveled with it yet; it will get a 1000+ mile trial run soon. With this bar and this particular bike the bike's front wheel hangs too low to leave it on the bike. It's a quick-release style wheel, so not a big deal to remove, but the wheel takes up extra space inside the vehicle. I don't like that the weight of the bike is being held by the handle bar post and the seat, but that's just the nature of these adapters and there is really no other way to put this type of bike on this type of carrier without it. The bar is rated for 50 lbs. and the bike weighs 37 lbs., including the front wheel, so I expect this bar to work fine for us.

Security Strap for Yakima Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier
We purchased the Hang Out to expand our biking options while camping. Several years ago we purchased a Jack-It Aero carrier from e-Trailer to carry bikes on our TAG. It's a great option for transporting bikes T/F camp ground. But what do you do if the bike trails are a distance from where you’re camping? Enter the Hang Out. It takes up minimum space, mounts quickly to the Jeep and off we go. Bonus: We jettisoned a bulky, expensive hitch-mounted carrier and use the Hang Out for local bike excursions.
Works as described, no issues.

Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes
These bike bars serve there purpose as far as holding the bikes down on the bike rack, only thing is that sometimes they get stuck trying to get around the post, but overall would purchase again if needed
This is perfect for my step-through e-bike; used with my Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack. Great quality!

Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes
I just purchased a new bike rack for 3 bikes, two of which are women's bikes that would not as have fit properly. I'm relatively new to biking and i never would have thought about an adapter bar. The Kuat Ubar is easy to use, light fit perfectly with the rack. The picture isn't great, but the two bikes closest to the camera have the Ubars in use. Everything about this purchase from eTrailer has been perfect. I got a personalized recommendation (for this rack) when I submitted a question and this was easily the best online shopping experience ever. This was my first purchase here yet I was made to feel like I've walked into a store where I've been a regular for years. I'll recommend you to everyone I can!
This was really easy to install on my bike.

Glass Hatch Hook Adapter for Yakima Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier
I recently Ordered the Saris Bones 2-bike rack and recommended window straps. The glass hatch straps I ordered were not readily available (out of stock), so etrailer called me and recommended a pair of Yakima straps/hooks that would fit as well (same price). I accepted, and within 3 days I got my bike rack and straps. The rack installed quickly and fit great (see picture). Great customer service, selection, and follow-up. Thanks again ,al.
I have been searching for a stable bike carrier for my Hyundai Elantra 5-door hatchback for several years. I finally found the Superjoe Pro 2 with these glass hatch hook adapters. I couldn't be happier! If you have a hatchback you have to get these with the SuperJoe Pro 2. Great combination.
