The rack that folds into a bag
Allen Sports appears twice on this site, and both products solve a problem the rest of the category ignores.
The MT1-B ultra-compact folding boot rack and the 900B frame adapter bar.
Answering “where does the rack live?” A towbar rack occupies a garage corner year-round. The MT1-B folds into a supplied carry bag small enough for a rucksack, which is the entire product for a flat with no storage.
Solving the frame problem. A rack arm clamps a straight top tube. Step-through, ladies’, BMX and many full-suspension frames have none, and the 900B creates one — with a published fitting range of 46 to 68 cm between handlebar and saddle.
Honesty about fitment. Allen explicitly directs buyers to check vehicle-specific data rather than claiming universal fit.
The MT1-B carries one bike, and the boot rack constraints apply: plate and lights obscured, boot inaccessible while loaded.
Measure handlebar to saddle with the saddle at riding height before ordering the adapter bar. That single figure decides whether it fits.
