Is Frame Adapter Bar Needed for Fuji 2.3 Womens Bike on Thule Doubletrack

Question:

Hi - do you know if a Women's 2015 Fuji two.3 bike will require an adapter bar for use with Thule patform-style 2-bike rack?

The frame hooks for the Thule Doubletrack will ratchet down pretty far, but if your Fuji has a step through frame with a single down tube welded to the bottom bracket, a frame adapter bar would be necessary to carry the bike on the rack.

If the frame is more conventional like what's shown in the provided photo, it should work fine without an adapter bar. We've found that the Swagman DLX frame adapter bar, part # 64005 is both inexpensive and very easy to use.
