Does this only work with an Allen Sports bike rack? I have a SportRack and I'm hoping I don't have to buy a SportRack adapter bar since they cost more

No it does not have to be used with an Allen Sports bike rack....I have a Saris bike rack that holds 3 bikes and it works perfectly!

It should work with any mounting system . It only provides a mounting point for the bike.

The bike rack we have is from WalMart, and it works with the bar. If you can put a boys type bike on your rack, the Allen bar should work for you.

Like the other people who answered, i have the exact same bottle cage and the bar extender and there is no way. that picture should be removed for being totally misleading. i would still get the bar extender, its a great piece of equipment, I have 4 and plan to get more, they are really handy and allow for a lot of cool mods to my bike.

Mine is a Sportrack and it is exactly what I was looking for. Fully adjustable for any bike. Bikes easy to load and bike rack is easy to put on and take off the vehicle.

That is something I do not know clearly about. The best way to figure this out, would be to search this rack's fitting capabilities to your individual bicycle via the internet.

Sorry - I just noticed this was for the single rail rack. I have the double rack and it's not much more money.

It works for ours. We have two girl bikes and my boys' bikes are also shaped funny without the standard bar across. (I think on one of ours we actually move the rubber piece, that the bike attaches to, to the outside and attach to the post of the bike) You have to move them around and figure out what way works but I think they are actually more stable than when they are sitting on there perfectly straight. It took us a little while the first time but now it's only 5 min to load. You could buy the adapter bars, but that just costs more and really isn't necessary. We LOVE this rack, especially for the price!!

It will, but Alllen Sports also makes an adapter bar that attaches easily to bikes with a dropped center tube and allows them to ride more level and securely. I bought one for my lady friend's bike and it works great. I suggest you buy both the rack and the additional adapter.

Christina i went through the Allen Sports Deluxe 4-bike trunk mount rack and entered your car model, year and make and it said it did fit. You can check that out....

Hi Beverly, It fits perfect to my Allen 4 bikes . Since both are from the same hitch family, they will fit. Enjoy your bikes

The tires sit in the tray, so you do not need a cross bar adapter. Just secure the bike frame to the upright part of the rack to secure it in place.

No, doesn't work with other racks ... and unfortunate ... because it is a great product!

There is an adapter designed for the Topeak rack. It is designed to slide and lock into the rack. Sorry

We use this rack with an Electra "Townie" women's bike -- no crossbar adapter is needed! That was one of the reasons we bought this particular rack.

Yes, but you need a top-tube adapter like this: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar AdaptorAlso, I found that the rack good for full-size bikes, but smaller bikes may be difficult to position because of the distance between the rails. The Velcro straps are helpful for attaching smaller bikes.

Yes. U will need a bike bar adapter or crossbar. I have 3 for a 16", 26", and 30" mountain bikes.

It holds mens road bikes and mountain bikes nicely unless they have one of those huge top tubes. You need an Allen Bicycle tension cross bar for women's bikes or non-conventional frames. http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Tension-Bicycle-Cross-Bar/dp/B000ELSSZE The bar is very easy to install, cheap and works great. The carrier is also very easy to install and works great. I have a three bike rack on my hatchback and it makes getting around a breeze.

I've only used it for a kayak rack, but it was a tight fit. All i can say is you'll need a different bike rack, or maybe you can get a longer ubolt that fits the rack at a hardware store.
