## Description

The Thule 982XT Bicycle Frame Adapter for strap and hitch carriers is a cross bar adapter for hard to mount bike frames such as women's bikes, children's bikes, BMX, full-suspension and non-standard bicycle frames. This bike frame adapter creates a straight tube top so that the bicycle can be carried on a hanging style bike rack. It features a telescoping bar that adjusts to multiple frame sizes and style, and padded collars that attach to your bicycle's seat post and headset for a secure hold. As an added convenience, the Thule 928XT frame adapter features easy-to-use push buttons that allow for quick mounting. This bike adapter bar is compatible with most strap and hitch mounted bicycle carriers.

Review: Great-- MAKE SURE of a couple of things when using. - I have a nice mountain bike but the 29er frame required a frame adapter for our Thule hitch mount bike rack. I was super nervous about relying on the adapter to keep the bike safe-- but it is a very well made product, easy to use and worked perfectly. Only items to be aware of (not having to do with the Thule Adapter): 1) MAKE SURE that your seat post is very tightly attached to the bike frame. If the seat post slips out during travel in your car, the rear of the bike will fall off the rack. 2) If you have a larger bike or larger wheels (29er)-- AND you have a lower car (like a minivan)-- your bike's front tire may hang too low to the ground. No problem if you're planning on driving on perfectly flat roads. But a speed bump, dip entrance in/out of a gas station, etc. could cause your bike to scrape the road. You can solve this by either adding something under the Thule Adapter-- or just removing the front tire.

Worked like a charm on my bike, it fit every size

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It holds the weight.
*by L***N on August 24, 2022*

Like most of the reviews a multi hole function would be a nice option 👍 😀. But I have a drill and a screw gun and will make this happen. This bike is 50 lbs with battery. Held strong, but must admit I used extra straps on the bike rack. Easy to use and would recommend 👌.
