After buying a full carbon enduro bike I needed to find a way of transporting it without damaging the frame. Not only is carbon fibre not a fan of being clamped, the geometry of the bike made it difficult to find a solid anchor point. I initially tried the Thule AcuTight Knob but after testing it on one of my aluminium bikes I found that it applied way too much pressure before ‘clicking off’ and there was no way I was going to risk it on carbon fibre. I eventually stumbled on the frame adapter and have so far found it to be a good solution. It’s easy adjust it to fit your frame and as long as you don’t over tighten it works well for carbon.

This works incredibly well. Very secure. The two hooks on either end can be screwed out to the desired length. You then fit it to the bike and turn the centre bar to pull the two hooks back towards each other. Reassuringly stiff so you're confident it’s not going to wobble loose on longer journeys. I’d definitely recommend.I also brought a second seat post clamp to fit below the hook. This stops the bar from moving down as it’s tightened.

I have seen a few comment on the method of securing being dangerous, this is not the case.When you first see this product you will will wonder how it is secured on bike seat and handlebars however it is pretty simple if you read illustration 2 on instructions.You secure both hooks and then the body of the Thule is twisted so that it tightens and is pretty much unmoveable.Tried a few times now and it really works hence my 5 star rating

No problems whatsoever, fitted easily and allowed my wifes bike to attach to a Thule towbar bike rack. I fitted the bar around the handle bar boss and the rear frame under the seat near the mud guard, it would not quite lock if I used the seat boss to handle bar. Worked really well around Europe for 3 weeks. Great piece of kit.

The Thule 982 is an ideal false crossbar for cycles with a 24" frame and above which is the item sold by Amazon, but if you have a small ladies cycle frame you will require a Thule 981 crossbar which will accommodate these and is adjustable between 400mm and 800mm which at present is not sold by Amazon.

Just be careful you buy the right one for your bike (Thule 982 or 981) as they are different length. Other than that I am well happy with thequality of this adaptor - so much better than the competition for not much more cash.

Works well with my bike frame which is a carbon enduro bike but the Thule raceway I use it with doesn’t hold the bike very securely. Safer options and better value options for bike carrying on the market.

Purchased for my step through lady’s hybrid bike so I could transport it on my car bike rack.Really easy to attach and tighten with the twist action. Very secure and did the job well.Would recommend.

Needed to carry a Ladies Bike on a Thule Hang-on bike rack so this piece of kit (or similar) is essential. Used twice so far and does the job.

Good quality product from Thule as you would expect. Little tricky to screw the ends out to the perfect length. But overall a great product!

Essential for fitting to a ladies frame bike if wishing to attach to a car bike carrier. Very simpple, straighforward to use and effective.

Easy to use and seems secure - means you can take a 'ladies' bike on a rear mounted bike carrier with ease

Super simple to use, long enough for adult bikes, too long for junior MTBs, good protection on the ends

Did the job fine. It took no more than a minute to fit. Lift the bike on the rack and go. Simples!
