This product has worked wonders for me. I can now easily put my wife's step-thru bike onto our bike rack and the bike sits perfectly. The bar has performed well and I'm very grateful to Allen for offering this product.

I bought this thinking that this will help me solve the problem of taking my daughter's bike everywhere (a woman's bike)... Oh boy, was I SO WRONG...
Before I tell you what happened, I do admit that this is a pretty easy set up and it seems sturdy enough - but it all end there.
As it happened, we are going for a cycle ride and I strapped both of our bicycles safely and correctly on the rack and went. Not far from the house, the retainer pin didn't managed to keep hold of the bike thus the quick release pins gave way... the result of the bike's big thump on the road and when you are driving it will not be an option to just stop right away resulting the need to dragged the bike to a safe place to park and sort the problem.
When I stopped and looked at the bar itself, I've found out that the retainer pin just broke in half. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW in the design. Both the retainer and the quick release pins are not sturdy enough to carry the weight of the bike (even though it is a light bike) and I am driving in a pretty safe speed, this does not help with the flaw.
This cause the problem for my daughter's bike and I am so glad that it didn't cause a major accident. This might happen...
LIKE I SAID,THIS IS A FLAW IN THEIR PRODUCT.
I would not be buying this product again. Next time, I would think before I buy cheap stuff as you get what you pay for...

Great for girls bikes and other bikes with out horizontal cross bar. Keeps bike low on rack so you can see with your rear view mirror. Super easy to use and worth the $$

Have a woman's bike that did not fit or work on my bike rack. The Allen Tension bar did the trick. It works great! Not to hard to attach to the bike. Would recommend this device.
