Hi My bike went together easily..I wondered is the handlle bar box socket suppoesd to be angled? Mine is.

I'd love to respond but am not sure what you mean by the box socket; the only angle I notice on mine is on the stem that seems to be part of the one piece handlebar.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

Yes, you do. You would also need the bar attachment for a men's bicycle that is angled as well.

I'm not familiar with the specific bike, but I would think that the stem height is not a problem. Both ends of the bar are angle 'independent'. It needn't be parallel to ground but it will be much closer than the angle of a woman's bike - no more tire sticking up in the air, and fits better with another bike

Did you put the lock pin outside and insert it in the hole above bolt or else handlebars need to be straighten

Good day, this is compatible with nearly all types of bikes. How close to the ground it may be will depend on the vehicle. This extends from under the seat to under the handlebars, so that should help if you hold the bike up to the carrier and visualize this beam across that area, it should give you a fair idea of how much clearance you will have. Thanks!

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.

Hi, I keep the chain on the bar and turn it by hand. The angles are stamped on a guide. You just have to make sure that you have it correct. With a little practice it's quick and easy. Sorry on the delay, I was on vacation away from everything for a couple of week.s Hope this helps.

The bar will not go left or right, however the locking teeth go all the way to the bottom. At some point it will make contact with your frame. My bike has a "V" type frame and makes contact a little lower. Check your local bike shops to see if anyone carries Swagman racks. I am completely satisfied with my rack other than the fact it a little bulky to store. Bikes ride well and does not effect gas mileage like my previous rack. Hope this helps. Hobie, Mobile,AL

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

It should, it doesn't require and drilling tho. Make sure you seal well when you place the box around the handle bar. I hope it will be helpful enoguh.

couple years since I bought mine. It angles up from the post as I have a short frame bike. I love it!! very handy and the easy to remove feature is great if storing the bike or in sketchy neighborhoods.

I bought an adaptor bar for my wife's bike and that seemed to solve that problem. I think you could use the mount with a womens frame but it would put the bike at a really odd angle..

You shouldn't have any problems using that hitch as long as it is even. We had that hitch and had it removed because it was not even so the bike rack was tilted. Other than that it would have worked fine. If you're still not sure you can call the company to get details. They have a guy that can give you answers. It's an awesome hitch, works we'll and looks great

I have a some difficulty answering this question. But if you wish to know about the cross-bar orientation then it is not completely horizontal but slanting about 30 degrees or so from horizontal plane (however not as much as seen in traditional womens bikes). You may be able to get an idea from the pictures itself. Other than that it is sturdy but easy-riding bike.

I have an angled seat post and it sets level on my bike. If your post is vertical the rack would be at a slightly upwards angle.

bike will stand at a short angle, this did not work on my 29" Trek Marlin, bike would fall over
