It's a clever little invention! The Tube Top creates a top tube for any bike that doesn't have one (children's, women's or Y-frame style bikes).
SummitHut Description: If your top tube is funkier than a dubstep bassline, dont fret. The TubeTop makes your bike compatible with any hitch mount.
Retailer Reviews
It fits!
Works as promised. Easy to use. If you have a problem getting your bike on a carrier this is the solution.
It works
It is always a little unnerving to throw your multi-thousand dollar investment onto a $35.00 piece of plastic/composite/whatever, especially when the maiden voyage involves 80mph speeds on a windy freeway. However, this little bar got the job done! It does hold the top tube of my bike a little too close to the rack arms itself (has caused some scuffs to my steed), which I don't like..this is probably the only reason I gave it a 4/5. That might be my racks fault though, as it is a home made hitch rack and isn't designed as well as Yakima or Thule makes them. There is no locking mechanism on the telescoping part of the tube top, but it stays steady somehow. There are pins on the ends which keeps your seat post and handle bars from slipping out the side. I have read a few reviews online which say that you need to make sure your seat post is all the way tightened, or else your bike might fall off the rack. I have kept mine tight so far and have had no problems whatsoever, but for everyone reading this..keep that fact in mind.P.S. my horizontal top tube length is 22.5 inches, and this fits fine with tons of room to spare.
