Review on 🚲 ALLEN Tension Bar Bicycle Crossbar Adaptor, Black, Universal Size by Darrell Beecher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive item, saves a lot of time

I was looking for a solution to transport a women's mountain bike with a frame in the spare wheel case, as the top tube is tilted, which allows the bike to be placed in an uncomfortable position on my luggage rack for Recreational Yakima to be mounted. While it does the job it's supposed to do, I have trouble getting it off if the seatpost is 31.6 or larger in diameter. The only way to remove it is from the latch side of the clip and since the spring is under tension, be very careful when doing this. It's a small fraction of the cost compared to the Yakima, but the Yakima has a better design. There is a rubber pad on the side that attaches to the seat post. Excellent value for money adapter, works as described. In general a good buy, I recommend buying. **UPDATE 12/10. Still prefer to use my Yakima tube adapter as the thick seatpost makes it difficult to get it out in the cold. ** If you found this review helpful, please click the button below this review (it really helps me). **
