What the minimum distance between hooks?

22 inches when fully collapsed (2 feet to the outside). It worked for my sons 18" bike

Total distant it will expand to

The widest handelbar to seat tube distance that the Bike Beam can handle is 28.75". That measurement is an outside to outside measurement

Will this work with a youths bike?

It's a bit large. I'm not sure if it will work on a youth bike. You might try measuring the distance between the seat post and the headset to see if the adapter will work on your specific bike.

what is the smallest width (post to post/seat to handle bar) will this handle?

22 3/4” fully retracted from inside of hoot to inside of hook
