If I install this hitch to 2005 Honda Odyssey, do I need to a adaptor for bike racks such as Thule and Yakima ?

This hitch supports a 2" bike rack. If your bike rack is smaller, you will need to buy an adapter.

I have the Octane version of this bike and I do need a top tube adapter to allow me to carry this bike on my Yakima hitch mounted rack. The frame is just about 1 inch too small to fit.

For my highlander 2010, there was no hitch , thus I had to purchase the 1) hitch and 2) bike rack, SEPARATELY. The hitch install I did it myself following the video https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QuAIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTLUN0xm5hyY&ei=Sib-VIaPNdfooATxpIHwCg&usg=AFQjCNFTDmJD0Vh2yshBYkFVmKt4lp5Lzw&sig2=LYLZoM0F2r7DdOHI498s7Q&bvm=bv.87920726,d.cGU

It depends on the shape of your racks, if they are round yes if not you will need an universal adapter

You'll most likely need a Yakima Top Tube adapter for most Women's bikes. (My wife's Hybrid needs the adapter) But, it mainly depends on whether or not the TOP TUBE on the bike is high parallel to the road like on most men's bikes. My friend has a men's Trek Mountain bike with a LOW top tube similar to a girls bike. His bike barely fit the rack without having to use the Top Tube adapter. Not sure on the kid's bikes however.

Yes. This rack is by default a 1.25 inch size but an expander plate is included to increase its size to 2 inches. If the hitch you install accepts either 1.25 or 2 inches, it will work.

I installed hitch by myself. This is separate thing: CURT 13068 Class III Receiver HitchAnd rack and hitch are incompatible, AllenSports declared that this bike rack is for 2" hitch but this is not true.

.....you may want to consider getting a under mount hitch installed and looking into the Thule bike racks that slide right into the hitch . Very wavy to install. I could not go that route because my Honda 2012 CRV has a plastic bumper. Good luck Mary C.

I honestly do not know for sure, but I doubt it will work with your Yakima rack. Rarely do the parts on Thule and Yakima work together.The thule bar is a flat aerodynamic bar (not sure about the yakima as my old yakima rack had round bars), and the board holder attaches to the flat bar.

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

Note ... that should have read ... hit the "Fitting Compatibility" link on the Thule page: http://www.thule.com/en-us/us/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/rear-door-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-raceway-3-bike-9002-_-18222

Yakima usually is round and Thule is more rectangular. I use it for my Kayak's and it works great for that. I unfortunately don't use Yakima or Thule accessories on it but would recommend on looking at the different Thule accessories as it has the closes attachments to this rack.

I don't think that you can install it without a bike rack, and I don't know if they make an adaptor for handle bars. It seems a little big for the front handlebars.

Yes, you will have to do that. That is an extra cost for the hitch and the installation of the hitch. I got mine at an independent truck accessories shop because the dealer's parts department would have charged much more. As an alternative you can buy a bike rack that actually attaches to the edges of the back door or trunk of your car. Look at Thule.com for their fitting guide and you will see different ways to carry a bike. The guide matches your car with the racks that will fit. You will be educated and not necessarily need to buy a Thule brand.

I don't know, I have a Honda Odyssey, but ask your question of Google. GCrocker

It should fit with Thule crossbars with the provided adapters. If not, you have specific adapters you can purchase from Yakima (should only cost around 30$). good luck

Won't fit. The following hitch mount racks are awesome and have a fat bike conversion kit available http://www.1upusa.com/bicycleracks.html
