how to mount a female bike onto saris rack?

Per the Saris website, they make a bike beam for bicycles with a sloping top tube (or women's bike). I would suggest contacting saris for recommendations and more information.

You have to buy the extension bar for a female bike and I was able to get my son's bike on the rack (10 yrs old).

You would have to have some sort of hanger. Loop something through the screw holes to hang from, or find a small bracket to screw the rack to.

You can buy the straight bar attachment for cruisers/women's bikes, but I can tell you from experience a cruiser will fit on this rack it just sits in a awkward position but is stable.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

You will need a metric allen wrench and adjustable wrench. Set you seat and post to the correct height then remove seat from the seat post. Clamp the rack with the appropriate plastic spacer to the seat post (not the bike frame). Tighten the allen screws until tight. Do not over tighten as you could break the screws then replace the seat. The rack, can still be moved if you push hard sideways on it but is very stable. I have used mine for a long time and have no problems with it.

Yes but depends on the type of rack if it hold bike by the wheels no problem. If by the tubing between stem and seat post you will need a Saris Bike Beam Accessory I picked one up for 20 dollars at Walmart works great.

You need to get a cross bar for the girl bike. Also it does not hold the bikes well in the supports, fyi.

there's so many different variations on back racks I would really have to actually see it to be able to tell you how to start attaching it. That's probably why they're not very specific on the details on how to put It on. Cropookie@gmail.com

I have this exact one and I don't think a standard bike rack would work! I just put it in the back of my pick up. Great bike!!!

I drilled holes into the floor, inserted threaded sleeves that lay flush and then bolt the rack when needed. Be sure to use tie down straps and compress the front forks as far as possible. I didn't do this enough once and my bike broke loose and damaged my wife's tank with my handlebars.

Yes, if you want your bike to be mounted perfectly horizontaly you will need to purchase a expansion bar ( not sure of proper name for it ) that creates a mounting surface like a mans bike, it extends from the seat mount to the handlebar mount. Thule makes them and can be purchased at most better bike stores. I believe it was about $35.00. I have seen womens bikes mounted without this bar but your bike is mounted very lopsided. I also use several bungee cords to also secure my bike to the mount so it does not sway. this is a great rack, easy to take off and on. I leave mine on all summer and take off in the winter and put my tire cover back on.

Depending on frame style, a separate cross bar adaptor may be required to secure ladies's bikes...(separate purchase)

Hello,I think mounting the support arms opposite of the picture would work. You may also have to flip the grid over.The rack is finished on all sides so you wouldn't have to worry about the look either.

Can't say about that particular Saris hitch rack. It works beautifully with our Saris bike rack we bought - holds 2 bikes and we have Reese hitch. Hope that helps.

For the rack, you have to purchase separately the Saris Thelma #3022 Security Locking Hitch Tite. This is useful if you going camping and leaving the rack in some remote parking. For the bike, I highly recommended the Saris Locking 8-Foot Cable. The cable comes with the lock and good enough to secure 3 bikes. The cable may not be thick and I am sure someone can cut it but good enough for day use. I keep the bike indoor when travelling or attached additional locks when going camping.

Can they mount to a Saris 901 bicycle bike mount roof rack? The 901 is a pretty beefy cross bar, 3" wide with a total circumference of 7 1/2"
