 Did not fit bike July 26, 2008

Make sure this items fits your bike. The bike frame was too big to fit in the adapter. I had to connect to seat bottom and handle bars. After first rain, I noticed rust on bar. Walmart has a similar adapter for less.

This product has come in very handy for my new Thule bike rack on my hatch. Now-a-days most bikes do not have a straight bar to put across the rack forks and this item alleviates many issues I would encounter. Definitely a must have for trunk and hitch racks.
Good solid product, probably unnecessary April 30, 2008

I bought this item thinking that I needed it because the cross bar on my bicycle is at an angle. I was totally wrong. Most people will never need this. I talked to my local bike guru- he said they were unnecessary to carry your bike safely and he was right. I am now ebaying this item because I don't need it.
Basically, if you want to make very very sure that your bike does not get scratched enroute while it is in your bike carrier, use this product. It will make sure that your paint doesn't become scuffed because of friction between the bike, brake cable and bike carrier. However, if you're like me, and you don't mind a few tiny scratches every now and again, it is totally unnecessary.
Solid product, could hold a house up in an earthquake, totally unnecessary for the average person.
