Frame Adapter Bar

SKU TU982XT

Attaches To One Bike
Creates A Level Top Tube
Expands From 22” To 28”

Heavy-duty BMX bikes, women’s bikes, and children’s bikes have an interesting similarity with each other; they all tend to have non-standard bike frames. The Thule Frame Adapter allows you to modify bikes for use with rear mounted bike racks by adding a level top tube to them. Most rear-mounted bike racks for cars use two load arms to secure bikes. Uniquely shaped bike frames typically have a sloping top tube, so when they are mounted onto a two arm bike carrier, they are held at a drastic and dangerous angle. Expanding to fit most sized frames, the Frame Adapter will keep your bike centered, level, and secure on the bike rack. Molded rubber pads protect your bike’s finish, and push-button clamps make installation and removal of the Frame Adapter a quick and easy process.
