womens bike: How did you put a womens bike on it?

You should purchase a top-tube or cross-beam adaptor. It is a tube that clips to a woman's bike and creates a straight cross-beam, just like the top tube on a man's bike. You need one for every woman's bike. Allen makes one for around $20.

It might be a little small. I am 5'3" and I can ride it, easily. That said, I do prefer my larger framed women's bike, as it allows the reach and downhill riding position much easier than it would on this frame. Most women's bikes look like they are men's bikes, have you looked at those, too? (Oh, one note to mention: this bike comes with a really pretty silver flower handlebar wrap that I loved, however it was the first thing my son demanded get changed, lol)

To me it was hard I am a female who enjoys putting things together but I needed help with someone who has a bike tool set. If you are going to assemble yourself I suggest a bike tool set. Personally I would pay to hAve it assembled if you can't find anyone to help you. This is a great buy I love this bike.

No, you will have to buy an extensión tube for a woman bike. It will work if you put The bike upside down but is more secure to use an extension tube

YES, both the bikes I carried are women's, the wheels set in cups that you strap the wheels to and there is a middle bar to attach the upper part of the bike to. I had another carrier and the bikes shook and rattled all the time, not so with this one, loved it and had it attached to a hitch on the front of my truck!

Per the Saris website, they make a bike beam for bicycles with a sloping top tube (or women's bike). I would suggest contacting saris for recommendations and more information.

Unfortunately most bike racks are not designed for female bikes... So to answer your question the answer is no... You may need to purchase a frame adapter for the girls bikes... Good luck

I got (2) kids bikes on mine (plus 2 adults) without the extra bar or padding. The girl bikes sit slightly differently as they don't have the upper cross bar. I hang them from the lower bar of the bike (on one arm) and the small area between the seat and rear tire (on the other arm). It works fine.

This is not required if you place the women's bikes on one of the first three mounting locations (closest to the back). Larger children's bikes and women's bikes fit easy there. If you want to place them inward toward the 4th and 5th positions, then yes, this is required.

Sorry, it's been too long since I assembled it to remember. I do, however, remember assembling the bike twice and thinking, how would someone who is not extrememly careful ever assemble this bike without breaking something? I would take S. White advice and check out the YouTube.

Not sure what kind of girl's bike you have, but you would likely need to add a support bar from the handle bars to seat. However, if you want to add two bikes to this rack, get another one. The handlebars on adult bikes prohibit a good fit, even if you put them rear to rear.

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..

I drilled holes into the floor, inserted threaded sleeves that lay flush and then bolt the rack when needed. Be sure to use tie down straps and compress the front forks as far as possible. I didn't do this enough once and my bike broke loose and damaged my wife's tank with my handlebars.

I put a set of Walds on a bike for my wife, too, and they turned out to be too flimsy and bent. I cannot honestly recommend them for larger bikes. However, my wife told me that she had ridden a bike as a child (she is from Germany) but she had apparently lost all memory of it. :) If your wife wants a bike to exercise with around town I would recommend you shop for a three wheeler. They are a bit more expensive but so are emergency room visits. Good luck.

I don't see why this wouldn't work with a women's bike as long as the seat comes with the support bar.

In the video, it looks like the first bike is a women's bike without an adapter. Am I missing something, why people say the adapter is necessary?
