Right as plum pudding

I purchased this bar for an intended trip. I have a GIANT hybrid and my wife a TREK hybrid. While I was a bit apprehensive it proved me wrong. Not one problem from PA to Myrtle Beach via Jacksonville NC to see our daughter and then straight back. Over 1,100 mile and this was the first time we...

Wonderful product!

The Allen Tension Bar Adaptor is so quick and easy to use! I could have never mounted my bike on the rack on our minivan without it. It was a very good purchase and I would recommend it to anyone with a women's style bike that needs to transport it.

Does what it was made to do

What can I say, it does what it was made to do, and it was easy to use. It made putting my women's bike on our bike rack much easier and more secure. Just be careful that the bar doesn't pinch your hand when putting it on/taking it off!

Great Device for Mountain Bikes

This device works great for mountain bikes. I have hydraulic brake cables on my Giant Trance 1 that I didn't want resting on the bike rack. Use of this devices ensure clearance of all the cables from contact with the rack.It is secure in the sense that the spring is really stiff (sometimes it is...

Tension Bar

I bought 2 of these, for my girls bikes. They are a bit bulky on the one end, and dont fit great with reflectors on. It has a nice spring action and feels secure, but be careful on the type of bike, depending on the frame (especially kids bikes) it may not fit as well as it should.

Works Great!

Bought these to use with a Bell Bike rack. They work perfectly. The 3 girl's bikes were steady as a rock on a 350 mile trip. Easy on and easy off, too. Great product.

Excellent product

We use this product on my wife's 15" frame in our Bones 2 bike carrier. It holds very well, as the spring that keeps it taught is very strong. It does take a little bit of strength to get the adapter on the frame, but it is very sturdy once it is on.I have also used it once or twice on my 17"...

Good product, but online description needs details

The bar does exactly what it is intended for. However, on the packaging of the bar it specifically says the distance from the seat post to handle bar post needs to be at least 18 inches, no where does it say that on the online write up. So, it doesn't work for my daughters' bikes. Something to...
