YAKIMA - FrontLoader Wheel-On Mount Upright Bike Carrier for Roof Racks, 1 Bike Capacity

As soon as my rack arrived, I was ecstatic. After several trips in my hatchback, I was tired of putting my bike there. It mounts very easily and holds the bike very securely, but the biggest problem I have with it and why I am only giving it three stars is that it does not come with You want me to shell out an additional $40 for a pair of locks on a rack I already paid more than 200 dollars for? There is no way that could be true. Because of the two large wingnut style attachment points on the unit, it can be taken off a set of bars in about a minute or less. Put a locking core in there instead of being cheap. In case you're still interested, it has a good wheel adjustment and can fit tires as small as 26" and as large as 29". The number I have set is I use a size 5 like the one I have on my bike and it fits my front tire very well. I drove the bike around for about 50 miles after I got it, and it did not move. In addition to fitting on VW bars, the rack also has a good fit.

My vehicle is a Volvo SUV, and I own an above-average mountain bike. So, while researching bike racks for my vehicle, I recently decided to purchase a bike rack. In the long run, I couldn't keep the bike in the trunk with my seatbacks down, the tire off, and the bike in the trunk. My initial plan was to buy a rear loading exterior mount, and then I'd have my problem Several people have complained about paint wear, scratches, and rust created from the rubber coating on the hooks touching the paint on their vehicles. Several items on my list became obsolete with the removal of a rear mount.

Unfortunately, my vehicle does not have a tow bar, but I considered In relation to its value, it was not extremely expensive, but I did not want to spend more than $600 on installation, and another $200 on a rear bike rack that attached to the

Last but not least, I considered roof mounting. There were many that were flimsy or required the wheel to be removed. Putting the bike in the trunk was barely a step up from that. That's why I kept searching. The following is a translation of the Japanese term YAKIMA There are two types of front loader wheels When I searched for the product, I found On Mount Upright Bike Carrier for Roof Racks.

A difficult part is aligning the cross bar of your vehicle correctly so that it lines up with the corners. There is nothing to worry about with this rack. There is a mountain bike I own that is larger than the one I ride. It has a 19-inch frame and 29-inch This rack handled it perfectly, and I did not have any trouble securing it to the bike path as I drove. In conclusion, we have the following cons In spite of the nice locks, they are not very secure. There is a thin cable lock attached to the second bar to protect your bike, and is easily cut with wire snips. This will prevent the theft of your YAKIMA roof rack for your bike. intend to leave your bike on the roof of your house with an expensive bike, you probably need a more expensive bike lock. It's time to get your bike on As I mentioned, I drive a service vehicle. The bike I lift over my head is 100 pounds, but I am six feet tall, train daily, and can easily lift it. Although it may take a little practice to lift the bike onto the rack, it is possible. For those who are smaller and/or have trouble standing on a ladder, a step stool might be necessary for loading their bikes. My SUV comes with a rear door that I need to open, and I have to step on the sill to load my bike. Even with my size advantage, I have to open the door. It's clearance time! The roof of your house has a bike. It is important to remember that there are a few extra feet atop my car when it is in use. A rack like this might not be the best choice for forgetful individuals. Some people drive home on their phones and attempt to pull into their garage with a bike on the roof while on their phones. Oh no! I am satisfied with the purchase as a whole. During the review period, I will update my review if circumstances change. I wish you all a safe and enjoyable day on the road!.
