Ease of use: Seats and saddles

We bought them to be suitable for cycling on the water. We used other sockets before, but they didn't have a plug. We prefer these.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

I think it's hard to classify.

Not sure if it was the metal clamp of the seatpost or the spacer but I had to cut the plastic spacer to allow the seatpost to fit the spacer and clamp. Very tight space for my post with the recommended shim for my seatpost width. Once it was on the seatpost and secured I had no problems.

Pros
  • Shipping was very fast
Cons
  • Clarity

Just complain about the price and then buy - it works.

Of course I only needed one of the four so I was pissed that I had to pay for the other three. Seems expensive. But it worked and we drove that day. There are no instructions included in the package, but a quick search on YouTube revealed the crucial point where you need to remove the seatpost to install. Sounds intuitive now, but back then I first tried attaching this to the post through a gap in the spacer.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • only available in white

Not for Adams hitch

This item does not fit Adams hitch. Although the width of the spacers seems to match the different seat posts, they all seem to be too long. As a result, they are very difficult to fit into the Adams coupling - this leads to one of two possibilities: 1) Force the gasket into the coupling with brute force, causing the ends of the gasket to come on to themselves (seems very unsafe) or 2) Cut the seal with a saw. I'll probably choose (2) because I need those things to work. All in all a very…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Can't remember what happened

Universal size - suitable for second-hand buyers!

Trailer bikes often become useless when kids start riding alone, and ours is no exception. The problem was that my bike stem didn't fit the gaskets that were left in the steel boot connector. some lube. Another spacer also fits my racing bike. If you're still unsure about brands/models and sizes, do some research online about your off-road bike brand. Most likely, Adams components will function the same as the original manufacturers.

Pros
  • Nice Thing
Cons
  • Mostly Good, But...

Different seatpost adapters for different bikes

I bought an Adams Trail-A bike at a flea market, unfortunately the bike it was mounted on had a smaller seatpost diameter than mine and the Vendor # ran out of other fasteners that came with him when he purchased this item. I've tried various things to create an adapter but none of them worked properly. I went to local bike shops and nobody carried these adapters. Luckily I found them online and one of these was just what I needed for a nice, stable trail-a-bike fit. I don't know if they will…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
