Doesn't work with our brand new 20" Priority Bikes
Similar to the other reviewer, this adapter didn't work with our kids bikes. The main tire frame of the bike rack makes contact with the bike frame and fork and that's well before the rear tire makes contact with the attachment point for the lower tires. Really like the bike rack if it would work with our bikes. I think it will take a different upper tire mount design rather than a simple adapter to correct the issue.
Works. Flip for 20 inch.
These work well. For the 24 inch I put it on with text facing up. For the 20 inch put it on with text facing down.
Major flaws, doesn't work.
I bought this for my new Revert 4 to haul my kids 20" mountain bike and it doesn't work at all (unless you're ok with major damage to the bike). The fork leg comes into direct contact with the wheel hoop. It doesn't just barely touch on occasion as you hit a bump in the road, it's smashed against the metal. I also tried with two other 20" wheeled bikes (one without a suspension fork) and all had major bike/wheel hoop contact. Further, the wheel is much smaller than the hoop so it's able to move rather freely even when cinched down with the rubber wheels straps. If I were actually able to use this and hit a large bump I'm almost certain the tire would hop off the ledge of the adapter, which could be pretty catastrophic. Finally, the rear wheel strap of the revert doesn't see very secure with such a short wheelbase bike (and my kids MTB has a very long wheelbase for a 20" bike). If you have a non suspension 20" wheel bike, there's a good chance the rear wheel won't even reach the crossbar where it's supposed to rest. I'd really like to know which bikes Thule used to test this as I can't understand how it would work with any 20" wheel bike on the market. Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed as the main reason I bought the Revert was to carry 20" and adult mountain bikes. All in all, I don't recommend you buy the Revert if you hope to carry 20" wheeled bikes (because you won't be able to without major bike damage).
Hello, Thank you for providing your feedback on the Thule Revert 20/ 204" wheel adapter. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with this product. This adapter was tested with both 20" and 24" wheels an was confirmed to be compatible. We are reaching out directly to get more information on this issue.
Don’t listen to the others
These other guys have the adapter on the wrong side. Put it on the car side. Works as designed
Doesn't work for 20" bikes
I tried setting this up multiple different ways it does not work with a 20" bike wheel. And even if it did the design is poor giving you a very small platform to balance the wheel on. I'm really disappointed this product didn't work that's one of the main reasons I bought a revert instead of the other options out there.
Does not work!
Didnt even come close to making a 20" tire bike fit, the head tube hits the hoop, the frame hits the hoop. I did manage to use two of these in the same hoop and build an aluminum piece for the lower tire to rest further out away from the bottom bar, this was the only way to get my daughter's Scott Contessa. Notice that Thule only shows Autocad drawings of the bike fitting, not a real picture. The disappointing part is carrying a 20" tire bike is possible if they put the care into proper design.
Does not work with 20" kids mtb
After installing I don't understand how this could possibly work with a 20 inch bike wheel I've tried multiple configurations Wheels turned in both directions and while I can get it to balance in the correct location the slightest movement knocks it out of place and would cause major damage to the bike. The price is already absurd and then to have it not work is a major disappointment this is also one of the main reasons I chose to buy this bike rack over other options
Hello Sean, Thank you for providing your feedback on the Thule ReVert 20/24" wheel adapter. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you have had installing the bike. This adapter is compatible with 20" wheels but still requires a 35-53" wheelbase range. If this is not met there can be issues with the installation.
Doesn't work with 20"
Bought the rack and it's great for regular mountain bikes but even with the kids adapter it won't work with my daughter's 20" bike. Her tire spacing is 36" from the middle of the front wheel to the middle of back wheel. Very disappointing, I purchased the rack because I was under the impression I could haul all of our bikes, including a kid's bike. Guess I'll have to keep looking.
only half of what's needed for smaller 20" bike
I just received my 2 adapters, one each for 20 & 24" bikes and was looking forward to our first adventure with 4 bikes on the rack. this excitement quickly faded when I found that despite correctly installing the adapter which does hold the wheel in place, the 20" std kids bike (cannondale quick 20) does not fit. the rack "basket" is too deep meaning the fork will hit the rack once the bike angles down to get the bottom wheel close to its connection point. this would be fixed if thule created a shorter/shallower basket. the fork is 10" from the center of the 20" wheel and the distance across the basket along the angle the wheel sits is more than this meaning there is going to be interference with the fork. please create a fix for this issue as the revert is really awesome otherwise. the adapter worked fine for a 24" bike but it also seemed as if it was not completely necessary for this particular bike. considering it is designed for 20 and 24" bikes and the 24 didn't seem necessary and the 20 didn't work, i can't recommend this product.
