The SportRack Alternative Bike Adapter is a specially designed add-on to bike carriers that allows you to carry bicycles with sloping or angled top tube frames. Bike Hitch Carriers usually clamp-on horizontally oriented top tubes as a way to carry them. This means that bikes with non-horizontal top tubes will sit on the carrier at a funny angle and might not be securely attached. The SportRack Alternative Bike Adapter attaches to the base of the seat and stem of the handlebar. The horizontal bar created by the adapter then serves as a mounting point for regular bike carriers. The telescopic design allows the adapter to extend or retract to fit almost any bike size and the adjustable U-shaped pivoting axle found on both ends securely fastens for a firm grip. For use with one bike, this adapter is compatible with SportRack carriers and has a long-lasting finish that's rustproof.

Established in 1980, SportRack began as a small-time accessory provider for the ever-growing market of automotive enthusiasts who wanted more storage options for their daily needs. Since then, the brand has grown its following by offering its widespread premium products at an affordable price range and is bound to attract more loyal customers as the years go by. SportRack's passion for design and engineering, paired with an innovative mindset to adapt to the current trends for both the average car guy and dedicated motor head, has made the brand one of the most trusted in the accessories aftermarket. Furthermore, upon Thule's acquisition of the company back in 2006, SportRack has enjoyed the boosted benefit of the giant backing up its research and development efforts, as well as the gigantic PR upgrade that made their presence even more known in the industry. SportRack's products include, but are not limited to multi-sport roof rack systems and accessories, hitch-mounted products, cargo boxes, and trunk-mounted racks. Functionality and safety at an affordable price are all made possible with SportRack.
