Good Product August 11, 2010
James Savage (Atlanta, GA)
The Swagman Bar Adapter Deluxe and Sparehand Bike Frame Adapter are identical products. I couldn't find any specifications for the products, thought I would try one of each and was surprised to find that they were one in the same. Only the packaging was different. If you're not sure if this will work for you, the Sparehand would be much easier to repackage since the Swagman came in a tamper-proof hard plastic package with rivets to hold it together.
The products were sturdy, but the button and small uncoated metal components are not stainless steel and therefore prone to rusting if exposed to the elements. The products are easy to disassemble, however, so you could clean or oil the components if necessary.
If you think these adapters might be a little too long for your needs, it is clear that you could disassemble one and cut the two sliding bars down using a hack saw, pipe cutter, etc. without any difficulty.

One thing I didn't see in other reviews or the Amazon write-up is the fact that the two ends can rotate relative to each other (unlike some other models) - this provides more flexibility and can help with some child bikes that are too small for this to fit in the normal way. For example, I rotate one end 90 degrees to connect to a handlebar cross brace on a child bike - I hauled this way (plus a second Swagman adapter on a lady's bike) on an over-2000 mile trip with zero problems.
It would be nice if the minimum/fully-retracted length was a bit shorter, but other than that, this is a good, quality item.
 Still doesn't help much with kids bikes August 14, 2008

None of our kids' bikes would fit on the swagman bike rack we got as a gift so we had to get one of these. The problem is that the bar is too long to fit the way they tell you to attach it. In fact it barely would have worked on our adult bikes, if we had needed to use the adapter. My husband had to figure out a different way to put it on. It's not a simple way but it at least allows us to take the kids' bikes.
I should have ordered these years ago! June 29, 2008

Great product. I should have ordered them much earlier. We have been lifting and loading 3 of 4 mountain bikes on the lower bar and upside down for years. This adapter makes it so much easier! I ordered 2 different ones and we like this one best because of the locking feature on each end. I will be ordering 1 more.
fast shipping, good product May 8, 2008

I got the product in 3 days (but I didn't pay shipping).
It is easy to use, you don't need any tool or anything.
