Do I need a crossbar for each 16" bike I wish to use?

I haven't found an adapter small enough to fit a 16" girl's bike. Let me know if you do--has to be one out there. The adapters I have do fit 20".

Depends on how handy you are. Best thing to do, is buy it (I love mine) and then see if you can modify it from the round tube to yours. It is designed to fit flat and round crossbars. Worst that can happen is you'll have to send it back.

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

If you have space on the end of your handle bar you won't need anything. If you dont have room you'll need the CRG bar end

No. You have to buy the mounts separately. Make sure you know the diameter of your bars to get the right mounts.

No idea what type of crossbars you have. I have the aftermarket Yakima rack on my car with the 55' crossbars. I can def fit 3 comfortably, possibly four but that's pushing it

When I bought this rack it came with rubber inserts with the crossbars so I didn't buy extra. Also, when you put stuff on like bike rack, then you have to remove inserts anyway.

First you should understand that the bike racks themselves do not come with crossbars. Most BMW X5 2008's come with front to back rooftop sidebars. The racks will fit almost any vehicle, ONLY IF you find a set of appropriate crossbars to clamp them to. That is where it get's expensive unless you can fabricate your own as I did. After you sit down, look up a set of Yakima or Thule crossbars and mounts that will fit your car's sidebars. You will be into the $300+ dollar range before you can blink really hard. That figure does not include their bike racks... just the crossbars. The hardware that comes with the racks will clamp to crossbars that are no more then 1-7/8" wide and about 1-1/2" thick, so keep that in mind when searching for crossbar materials.

If you are trying to double the width, I would say no. If you just want them side by side, then I don't see why not. The bars require the frame for stability. Just as an aside, I think I read a few comments where some needed to add a little would glue on the dowel to make sure it was secure in the hole in the frame. We didn't have that problem, however.

You may need a bar adapter like this: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor It depends on the geometry/size of the bike frame.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

Only the cross bars are included. There is another crossbar set that doesn't require rails, E361SFJ000.

Good day, if the crossbars are not adjustable, it may not fit perfectly out of the box, as the mounting holes are in predetermined locations, but the bar spread you have can be accommodated by the box. Thank you and have a great day!

When I ordered my set, it came with two (2) crossbars and with tax ran about $150.00. It took me like 20 minutes to install. If you are unsure, contact the seller to be sure before ordering.

I would think so... I have them and they seem standard cross bars. I can put 2 ladders on them with no problem.

Yes, you do! The crossbar connect into the roof rails so you need to purchase and install those first.
