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.

Les bloucles ne sont pas réglables et bien trop grande. Il est impossible de régler l'entre axe entre le guidon et la selle. Fortement déconseillé.

I used this along with a Thule Passage 3 to carry a Full suspension Mountain Bike 1500km through Canada to the Rocky Mountains. The bar worked as advertised to carry the bike, but I personally highly recommend you choose a cradle style bike rack over a frame hanging one. High probability of damaging your frames if carrying more than one bike, and damaging your vehicles finish and paint.
