Review: Great Product - Have had this several years and find that I never reviewed it. Bottom line, it works great for a ladies bike to transport on certain car carriers or for kids bikes. Easy to install, very sturdy and does the job I bought it for. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Review: bike rack crossbar - need this when hauling bike woth no cross bar, needed to hold bike down, expandable and works great, this has to be bought separately when buying a bike rack to haul bikes like a step thru

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it work on a Yakima bike rack?**
A: Yes, This product basically just mimics the top tube on a bicycle. For instance if you have a woman's bike with a low top tube this will make it more like a man's bike to fit better on a Yakima over the tire bike rack.

**Q: Where can I find a good crossbar for my 14 inch girls bikes?**
A: I use the ALLEN tension bar shown here on two 20" kids bikes and it works great for that. But it won't fit on my other kid's 16". I have to improvise something else for that one. Usually the 16" bike ends up getting thrown in the back of the minivan rather than going on the rack.

**Q: Can this be used with dropper seat posts?**
A: I don't have a dropper seat post on my bike, but I feel that the tension bar would work. You would just need to be mindful of the cable.

**Q: What is the weight limit this holds my bike weighs about 65 pounds**
A: I would not use this cross bar to “hang” an eBike on a carrier. But if the eBike is carried on a platform carrier (its wheels are sitting in wheel loops or boots), This cross bar only needs to steady the bike from falling forward or backwards. This cross bar is more than sufficient strength to use on top down security arms of a platform carrier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use Great product

Worked perfectly to put my cruiser bike on the car rack. Without it was a struggle. If you have a beach cruiser bike it’s worth the money. So easy to use too
