i want to purchase the allen 4 bike rack, we only have three bikes, but since 2 of them are 26' ladies bikes, is this adapter essential to fitting them?

For the best fit and security, yes, essential. Some ladies bikes fit but angled. My wife's bike is an odd angle so did not fit any bike rack.

it most def should. if not u can always return it if it doesnt fit but I don't see why it wouldn't.

I don't Know that I would call it "essential" but it makes loading them easier and they ride much better.

Hi James, I would recommend using it. You might be able to get away without it, but it sure makes life easier and keeps the weight of the bikes more evenly distributed.

They fit the 26 inch electric bikes that we sell. Not sure about every 26 inch step through bike?

It will fit on any three or four inch hitch. Just put on the adapter for the three inch. HOWEVER, the metal is so weak that it won't hold four bikes. After about an hour the rack sagged and I nearly lost it all. Until I can get it welded it sits in my garage.

Yes, I currently use my rack with 2 29" Specilized MB and 1 24" kids bike. Orillinally the rack works with 26" and 29" mountain bike tires. To make it work i had to buy the. Saris Thelma Juvenile Bike Add-on Kit. Worked for me

Sorry, but the largest adaptor that comes with this kit only fits up to 31mm or 3.1cm while the other adoptor is much smaller.Instead of installing this light onto my bike's seat post, I actually used the smaller adaptor and have it installed on a side support column (that links the seat post and rear wheel).

Arturo, No! Doesn't work with your bike yours are 71607696299 and 71607696300 plus the lockers. Rack is sold separately.

I had to use one on all the girls bikes. I purchased Stoneman Sports QSP-610 Sparehand Adjustable Bike Bar which work very well. Also one of my kids bikes would not fit as the space between the cross bar and the pedals was too small. I do like this rack however I would only recommend putting 4 bikes on it. Putting 5 bikes is a very very tight fit.

Charise, the cross bar adaptor is for bikes that don't have a top tube that is horizontal (or close to it). Bike frames that slope down, such as traditional women's frames would need one, and some modern mountain bikes also have sloping top tubes--they would need one as well. If the top tubes on your bikes are horizontal or nearly-horizontal, the rack will hold them fine without the adaptors.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

I don't see how you would join the two racks together. The bar on the second rack that would normally fit into the receiver would not fit into the end of the bar on the first rack. I would bite the bullet and buy the 4 bike rack. Rick

I do not know if it will fit your bike, but I have a unique 29" wheel bike, and the rack is very adaptable/adjustable. The only thing I needed to attach the rack to my bike was 2 of the rubber lined electrical conduit loops/clamps that can be purchased at any home improvement store ($1.89 for both clamps). The rack is very well built/designed, and holds my Pannier bags securely and withstand a lot of weight (have had over 50 lbs in my bags).

No, you don't for a men's bike. You may need to if you have a slanted bar on a female's bike if you do not have an extension bar to evenly hold it on the rack.

Mine is a large 26". There are still two more hole sizes to raise the rack. I can't say for sure, but it looks like it would fit your bike.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

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.

i mounted my topeak explorer rack on a magna exciter 26 inch. your bike i am not familiar with so you would probably be better off asking a mechanic or technician. sorry, i am not able to help you.

Sounds like the hitch is smaller than 2". Our Allen Sports bike rack with 2" tube fits in our Curt hitch's 2" receiver perfectly.

You should be ok without an adapter. I have 1 women's and 1 men's bike that I transport on mine without issues.
