Do I Need a Frame Adapter for Yakima HangOut 2

Expert Reply:

Thank you for the picture. Those are always helpful! Because those bikes have rather aggressive frames, you'll need the frame adapters to carry them on a hanging rack like the Yakima HangOut 2 # Y02637. I recommend using the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531 because of the molded collars that are used on the frame and seat post, which is great to keep your bike looking new. You'll also want to make sure that your bikes are less than 30-lbs each (60-lbs total) to stay under the capacity of the HangOut 2 rack.
