Bike frame bar adapter allows you to transport a woman's, child's or full-suspension bicycle on your hitch-, trunk- or spare-tire-mounted bicycle rack. Telescoping bar fits a variety of bike sizes and will not scratch your bike's finish.I live in NYC and like to get out and mountain bike about 3 to 4 times a week. I was skeptical about tire racks being a suitable option for hauling a dual suspension MTN bike with 27+ tires ,however Since my Jeep is parked in a parking garage a hitch rack would be a nuisance and roof racks are a hassle to install on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, so I decided a tire rack was worth a shot. This rack completely exceeded my expectations. First the installation takes minutes. Even though it does not bolt on to the spare frame, It is by no means a flimsy rear wheel rack. It is a burly ultra secure big trail bike hauling mountain bike rack and doesn’t block the rear camera view when not in use. With the extension bar the bike fits securely and comfortably on the arms. The extra straps completely secure the frame so it doesn’t wobble on the road and evenly distributes the weight so there is hardly any pressure on the head tube and seat post. I highly recommend this rack for a hassle free strong and sturdy mountain bike rack that will protect your high performance trail bike with confidence.
After some "spousal team building" we got the rack assembled. We tested it today 10-13-19. This is a very sturdy, well-built rack. We depended on the etrailer team to select this rack for our e-bicycles based on our vehicle and description of the bikes. As with the bikes, the rack is heavy. It is carrying two 50-60 pound bicycles. It was nice to have security locks too. The adapter bar for my bike worked perfectly. Definitely appreciated the support from the guys at etrailer which made my decision to purchase from this company rather than looking elsewhere.

Have two bikes one is my Schwinn bike and the other is my 12 year old bike. And the frame on both of thesenbikes made it difficult to mount on my bike rack. But after using the extended bike adaptor HRBA Pro. It made a world of difference and made mounting the bikes ease and easy. And it extends so that helped also.
Lorena O - 07/04/2020So far, so good. The weather has not permitted me to mount the bikes with the Hollywood adapter bar; however, it does fit both bikes. My daughter's Trek mountain bike is 22" from the outsides of the seat mount and handlebar mount, and my Trek is 26 inches. The bar fits both. I would recommend etrailer, and others, to put one more, and a very important, measurement in their description. On the box and instructions of the adapter bar, it states that the minimum bar length is 20 inches on center of the seat mount and handlebar mount. I reviewed over 17 adapter bars looking for one that would accommodate both bikes. Had I had this one measurement, it would have made my decision much easier. Fortunately, Greg, the person I worked with at etrailer narrowed my choice down to two bars, the Thule and the Hollywood. The Hollywood is of stronger material and priced much less. I cannot wait to ride once the weather cooperates. Be back with more comments in a bit. Cheers.
I just received and tried out my "Hollywood Racks Frame Adapter", model HRBA-PRO. This adapter bar is well built and easily installed. More importantly, it enables me to secure my wife's unconventional bike frame on to the bike rack FAR BETTER and MORE QUICKLY than before! Kudos to etrailer.com for their on line support in helping me make the decision. Their on line installation video was also helpful, the delivery was quick, and the price was the best I found online!
Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle. I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance. Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack.
it was easy to put on the bike,and fit perfectly on the bike rack.
Needed a platform style rack for heavy E-bike that is a step through model with fenders. This severely limited the choice of racks. Found one that said it would work and it did but because the center support grabbed the frame so low, it wobbled quite a bit and rubbed against the chain guard. This adapter bar solved the problem. Ordinarily the bike hangs from this type device so rubbing on the painted frame isn't an issue but in my use It is being pushed down by the center clamp and rode over the seat post onto the frame.. I solved this with a white spacer ring I made (see picture) so the adapter bar couldn't ride down and rub the frame. It's a very solid nicely made piece of equipment. probably overkill for my use
Great product. Keeps the woman's bike straight on the rack. The locks are tight and hold the handlebars and the saddle in place. Solidly build. Every time we go on a bike trip, I put it on my wife's bike. Bicycle racks do not take women's bikes in account so this bar is the best alternative out there.
Packaged very well; received it today... pretty easy to put together (says my bf). Looks great! Trying it out tomorrow On my ‘18 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport S
Great bike adapter bar. Well constructed, with the locking mechanism at both ends very secure. Ends are made of some high density polymer/plastic, so it does not scratch the bike. I used this on a folding back and it works well on my hitch bike rack. Highly recommended!
Functioned as advertised and fit easily around my women's 1975 step-through Schwinn. The product has a real no-brainer design that is secure. I have no reason to question its ability to hold my bike on the rack regardless of road condition or reasonable driving speed.
Practical, a good value, secures 'step thru' bike to carrier. Etrailer website easy to use, has lots of detailed information and videos of each item. Customer service and shipping responded timely and accurately to my order. Very pleased with Etrailer.
Great product , great price , quick delivery . I will definatley do business with etrailer.com again !
Mike - 06/11/2020This company is awesome! After I placed my order, I got a link to trCk my order. It showed a picture of the guy who pulled my order- beyond cool-and then continued with the progress of my orde- including a map. after it shipped that showed where my shipment was on a map. How cool is that!! Wish I had more things to order from etrailer.com!!! Really great device and way over the top tracking info!!!!!
These frame adapters are extremely well made. Superior quality. I was also very pleased with the communication from ETrailer regarding shipment date due to availability from the manufacturer. The estimated date was exactly what they promised.
ordered these fram adapaters from etrailer. They work well, just need to manuvere them to get in right position to attach to the bikes. They work well, no issues so far and able to get hooked on to the bike rack.
Need this use a Hollywood platform rack with a Rad City Step Thru ebike. Easy to use and works perfectly.
James - 01/21/2020Good product for our Dutch style bikes. Easy to use and feels secure on the bike rack. Fabulous company with excellent customer service. We have used them a few times now and have been well cared for each time. Thank you and we will be back.
Does what it should... I use this on my mountain bike and my daughters mountain bike. Did a 10+ hour trip to the beach and back with no issues. Etrailer customer service is fantastic! Matt K saved the day with my order when the bike rack I picked was back ordered. He helped me find a new rack and fast tracked things to get them to my door in time.
Excellent product that compliments my Hollywood bike rack. This bar will secure my Radpower Bike to the bike rake.
Heavy duty. I’m sure this would work for some bikes/racks. Didn’t work well with mine. Returning it.
After struggling for a couple years getting my wife and kids' bikes on and off our rear hitch bike rack, I broke down and got three of these. I should have done it on day one. It's SO much easier to load bikes now.
Easy to install. I have used this bike rake for 3 trips already. It has been great.
Great bike rack and superb customer service as usual.
