1 & 2 Bike Titling Tow Bar Adapter shown below:
3 & 4 Bike Tow Bar Adapter shown below:
The configurations shown will suit the majority of bikes.
You may need to adjust spacing & arrangement to suit your specific bikes.
"Taco" Rear Wheel Channel must only take rear wheel to avoid bikes sliding out during travel.
Note: "All-Hoop" set-up:
- Use diagrams as above, except use a Hoop in place of a Taco + Cinch Strap.
- The Hoop must be positioned along the Outrigger Arm accroding to each specific bike
wheelbase length, to ensure both tyres sit down snugly in both hoops
.
- If a new bike is used with a different length, the Hoop will need to be repositioned again.
- Always ensure all Allen Key Bolts are tightened after repositioning.
