Can't you just rotate one of the clamp assemblies to vertical to allow clamping a girls bike to the vertical tube under the seat?

Yes, you can rotate the clamp to accommodate any style of bike so that it hangs the way you want it to. Nice bike rack, I love it. Simple to use.
340616
You can rotate just one clamp. I have the rear clamp and the second clamp straight and have the outer one rotated to hold my wife's bike. It works great!
340617
You can rotate one of the 3 clamp assemblies to work well together but the frames of the bikes should be similar. I took off one of the three for spacing purposes and I was able to carry a cruiser and a womens bike without problem. I did loose the ability to cart three however.

yes, I'm able to angle it about 20 degrees and my girls bike rides well. we did take out the middle clamp to give our 2 bikes more room.

While that seems logical, it is not advisable. The clamp assemby is actually a saddle designed to balance the weight of the bicycle on top. At any other angle, the saddle is likely to move with every pothole, eventually finding balance in a very precarious position for your valuable bike. An adapter for girls bikes are very inexpensive and available at any bike shop. The adapter allows girls bikes to be mounted and properly balanced with the clamp in the proper upright position.

The short answer is yes. Given the short working range of this clamp, lifting the item vertically should not be an issue I would think.

If by that you mean in a fashion *other* than having the weight centered around the clamp, yes it can. None of my bikes weigh more than 21 pounds or so, but I've had bikes secured upside down, at weird angle, almost at the bottom bracket clamping on the seat tube, etc, and it does the job just fine. The handle used to clamp down can take awhile to get tightened properly, but never gives me the impression it would overtighten and break. So essentially, yes if you are doing other things that involve positioning the bike awkwardly you will be fine. It won't let you simply swing it into position like a good shop stand, but it can be locked into place just about anyway you like!

Not sure about your particular bike but it is pretty universal with horizontal and vertical adjustments.

Well I took a look at it and the mirror will not rotate enough to be a viable solution for the top bar you might be able to attach it to the handle bars though.

Only if the cross bar is not very big around. Only one of our bikes fit because the clamp only allows so much space.

Yes you can. This bike mount only works on bikes with Thin Downtube. if yours it's thicker, it will not work.

Yes. However It's a little difficult as with all of the weight in the rear, it makes the bike want to tip. My bike has a sidestand which makes it possible. It's a little tricky but I do it all the time. It is easier with 2 people.

You can try but I wouldn't. I bought an adapter for one of my bicycles that didn't have a straight top frame tube. It's much more secure that way.

If you are wondering if the clamping head turns easily with the bike in place, it doesn't it's very secure.when the bike is in the clamp you can also rotate the bike just make sure have a good hold on the bike so it doesn't fall over. When there is no bike in the clamp it is very easy to rotate and locks down securely,

Probably, but not very practical for this purpose. It would have to be set beneath a very solid point on the frame, and there would not be enough clearance in most cases. Also probably would not provide enough vertical lift.

I believe it will work. The vertical posts have a height adjustment to accommodate different bike frames.

First time I used it I had to mount the inside bike vertical (so it missed the spare tire) and the outside bike horizontal. I've mounted them both horizontal and vertical but you have to trial and error to find the right way.

It would basically work the same way just along the slanted angle. But the tube bag would still attach at the neck of the handle bars and then on the slanted section of the bike.

Yes, the way it works is you remove the rear skewer from your bike and use the skewer included and that fits into the mounting clamps.
1461524
Yes, but that is not the real purpose of the clamp. Remember, the clamp's purpose is to hold the bike firmly in place. Whereas, a bike rack should be a no fuss bike holder. So, with that, know that it would be a bit tedious to clamp and un-clamp a bike. If I were you, I'd get an honest to goodness bike rack, or a bike hoist for that purpose. Hope this helps.

I don't quit understand the question you are asking concerning the seat tube or down tube. But I will respond as best as I can. I used this bottle cage on the handle bar area of my exercise bike, you can adjust the bottle cage to be in an upright position, as it shows in the photo, or you can adjust the release area to be sideways. I really hope this is helpful for you.
