is there any adapters available for this rack? My wife has a Marin bike with a very tight frame. I can get the bike on the rack but the down bracket under the bike seat does not fit. The frame is too small in order for it to go in to place. Any...

I personally don't know of any which Inno makes themselves, just the bike adapter bars that other manufactures make. My own bike is an awkward squeeze so I have been looking myself and have decided to buy a Swagman bar.

I believe the rack would fit cruisers because the cradles and straps pivot to attach to the bike frame. For example, you could strap the bikes above the fork and on the frame below the seat.

Any standard rack will fit this bike. it has fender mounts at the rear dropouts where you can mount a rack. Unfortunately, there are no braze on mounts at the tops of the seat stays, so you have to get creative. Some racks come with mounting clamps that clamp around the tops of the seat stays. That's what I did for my daughter's bike.

I wouildn't recommend it. the bracket that fits to seat subing is 2" at least. The angle of this rack is tricky and below the rack shelf is a piece of tubing that hangs low and interfers with the tire. I tried it on my 700c tired bike and ona standard 26" bike both with seats to fit 5'4" height rider (seat is set pretty low) and it didn't work.

I have a Huffy cruiser bike. The basket adjusts to various sizes I'm sure any standard rack will work.

You need a straight bar across your bike or a special attachment to fit it onto this rack. Our girls bike did not work, we had to buy a straight bar to attach to the bike.

You would have to get an adapter. And I am not sure I would recomment that as this thing flops around pretty good as is. An adapter would magnify the bounce and may cause a failure. That is not specific to this model. 5 bikes are heavy on any carrier. This is a nice rack, but there is a pretty significant amount of bouncing that takes place on bumpy roads.

It depends on the size of the bicycle. My bike has a large frame and thus more distance from the center of the crank to the bench. On smaller frames this may be a problem. I am thinking about mounting a 2 x 4 to the bench to move the mounting point of the Bike hand out from the bench. It is a very nice high quality mount and i really like mine.

I had lower brazons and tried to use the u bolts on the front fork of a Marin bike with disc brakes and big tubed fork. I got it to work but not as intended to. At best I could carry light loads, but nothing I would feel safe touring with.

I have the exact same bike. I works fine you just need a through axle adapter same as any other fork mount rack on a bike with a front through axle

My bike is similar to a cruiser, and it fits. The issue is how much space is on the metal frame below the seat and before the other part of the frame juts out for the attachment to properly lock onto the frame. Most cruisers have enough space, but I couldn't tell you it will fit for sure.

I am not familiar with other bike frames. The front of the rack attaches to the tube under your seat. The brackets are extremely adjustable and should work on most any bike. The bottom attaches to the same screw point that many frames have drilled and tap to mount fender braces. The one thing I know this model won't work with is if the bike has Disc brakes. HTH. Greg

Not necessarily. It depends on the design of the frame. My wife's bike fits fine without the adapter. It has two parallel bars on the frame, and resting the lower bar on one side of the rack and the upper bar on the other side works just fine.

I don't have a m mountain bike my wife has a hybrid and it went on. If you have a woman's bike you will have to get an adapter to put the bike on. If call company they will tell you the closest places to get out

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!
