Yakima Tube Top

If you bike frame lacks the upper horizontal bar (ie. some ladies bike or full suspension bikes), you may want to consider the optional  Yakima Tube Top.  The Tube Top attaches between the seat post and handle bar post providing a nice level bar for mounting onto 'hanging' type bike racks.  The Tube Top can also be used on standard frames to avoid stress or damage to the top bar on your high end bike (especially if you have shift cables running under the top bar).
