You should purchase a top-tube or cross-beam adaptor. It is a tube that clips to a woman's bike and creates a straight cross-beam, just like the top tube on a man's bike. You need one for every woman's bike. Allen makes one for around $20.

I have a woman's bike too and I was able to fit it on the rack without any problems.

turn the whole bike upside down, i cant remember off the top of my head which side its on, but its a very small hole kind of under where the seat would be, hope that helps. i had a hard time finding mine too.

Hi, I used small black zip ties to secure it to my bike. I am extremely happy with this cycle computer, but there is a learning curve for sure.R,Travis Reep

One of the bikes I transport with this rack has a "step through" frame--I guess that's what is being referred to when you say "women's bike"--and, after a little repositioning (twisting) of the rubber pieces on the arms, it mounts easily and securely to this rack without an adapter bar. See my photo in my review of this rack.

Although the bike cradles do rotate, it's not enough to accommodate a typical adult lady's bike. An added adapter bar for the girl's bike does work. The rack does not easily accommodate smaller bikes since the cradle/rack may be to big to fit through the center of the smaller bike without considerable effort.

I wish we could post pictures. I think 5 is easily doable. I just put 3 on with a ton of room to spare in the remaining 2 slots this past weekend. I didn't even take the pedals off. It's all a matter of pedal and handlebar placement and for women's bikes, the essential crossbar. Without that crossbar you are totally asking for frustration. Best $15 I've spent on a bike.

I don't see any reason why this bike should not be appropriate for women. If this is what they want, they should be able to use it.

Actually have done both. Once you align the tire slots for the size of the bike and then alternate direction, goes on like charm. Just position the smaller hook arm for the girls bikes as it will need to be the lowest on the hook pole.

Look at the instructions and lay out the end unit (opposite of the end where the rope will be hanging from). Thread the first single roller on the floor, then the first unit with the pickup then second u it with the pick up arms and then the last single roller. When you see how it works on the floor, slide the end unit in the channel, lock it in place with the set Allen screw. Then slide the arm unit with the hooks facing the front arm unit. Lock in place with the set Allen screw near the end single roller. Then slide the other arm unit with arms facing the other arms in the channel. Put the last single roller at the beginning of the channel and set the Allen screw lock. This single roller will have the self lock on the rope to hold the rope in place when you lift the object up. When you lay it out on the floor you will understand how it works and it will help you install the units in order into the channel. The two units with the arms can then be adjust, once in the channel, to place them directly above where the arms will pick up your bicycle or whatever you are lifting. Hope this helps. Once installed I think you will like the fact that a single person can lift the bicycle up over head and also get it down without help. Really keeps the floor space in the garage available and no bicycles in the way for me.

Actually it will work with a women's style bike that doesn't have the center bar very easily. My wife has one and the "J" hook slides down to securely hold the bike frame with no special adjustments or other equipment needed. I just make sure my wife's bike is clamped in first with the bottom "J" hook and then adjust for mine with the top one.

A women's or "step through" frame should fit but will hand at an angle with the rear wheel considerably lower than the front. Play around with the contact points between bike frame and rack to see if there is a better hanging method. Another solution is to buy what is known as a virtual top-tube, a add-on bar that acts as an extra frame piece allowing all frames to mount on a rack

I got (2) kids bikes on mine (plus 2 adults) without the extra bar or padding. The girl bikes sit slightly differently as they don't have the upper cross bar. I hang them from the lower bar of the bike (on one arm) and the small area between the seat and rear tire (on the other arm). It works fine.

I don't know about your wife's bike. You have to measure the diameter of the hole the pedals go into. All you need to change the pedals are the proper size wrench (don't remember the size) but a cresent wrench will do. Keep in mind the threads are reversed to keep them from coming loose when you ride. Good luck... I love mine.

It came with instructions. Take the seat out, insert the collar that fits, insert the bike rack to the height you desire and secure seat back properly. That's it.

There is an adapter Prorack sells for use with female "no crossbar" bikes. I have found I can hang a female bike safely by just modifying where I attach the holders. No tools and no trouble. Call Prorack if you must have the adapter.

I was able to fit 1 men's & 1 women's bike without any problems. Make sure you hang them in opposite directions i.e. handle bars on one bike to rear wheel on the other and I used a small bungy cord on each set of wheels to keep them from moving. Make sure all straps are tight and you will have no problem traveling long distances with your bikes on the rack.
