The PitchFork rooftop bike rack is a stylish way to transport 1 bike with a quick-release front wheel. Sturdy carrier is engineered specifically to fit Yakima round and Thule square crossbars and features a sleek design and lockable release.
Features:
Specs:
The RockyMounts PitchFork bicycle carrier attaches quickly and easily to your Yakima round or Thule square roof-rack crossbars. Simply use the steel plate to secure the rack's head to one crossbar. Then secure the rear of the rack to the other crossbar with the plastic bracket and wing nut.
The PitchFork's heavy-duty fork mount is designed to fit bikes with quick-release front wheels. Its disc brake cutout ensures that it fits both disc and standard brake systems. The standard-size (9-mm) quick-release skewer firmly grips your bike's front fork. The PitchFork can be adapted to carry bikes with thru axles by using the DriveShaft fork adapter (RKY1081 - sold separately).
The PitchFork has a ratcheting rear wheel strap that slides along the rack's wheel tray to adjust to different bike lengths, ensuring that your bike is completely fastened down.
Deter the theft of your RockyMounts PitchFork and your mounted bicycle with RockyMounts lock cores (sold separately). The cores are keyed alike and allow you to lock the bike to the rack and the rack to your roof-rack crossbars using 2 cores. Lock cores are available in convenient packs of 2, 4, 6 and 8, allowing you to lock all your RockyMounts racks with the same key.

Today on this 2012 Chevrolet Colorado we're going to be test fitting the RockyMounts Pitch Fork Roof Mounted Bike Carrier, part number RKY0438. We've already got our carrier assembled according to the instructions and now we're ready to fit it up on top of our roof rack. To mount the bike carrier we'll set it up on top of our crossbars. We'll fit the front clamp around our front crossbar and use the included Allen wrench to tighten it down. In the rear, we'll fit the black clamp around our rear crossbar and use the wing nut to tighten it down. Once we have the bike rack secured, we can reinstall our skewer and head cover and then we'll move to the back and undo our wheel strap.
We'll fit the rear tire of our bike into the tray of the carrier. We'll drop the front fork down into the skewer and secure the bike using the skewer. We'll move back to the rear of the vehicle and use the wheel strap to secure the rear wheel. With that our bike is all loaded up and we're ready to get on the road. That does it for our test fit of RockyMounts Pitch Fork Roof Mounted Bike Carrier, part number RKY0438 on our 2012 Chevrolet Colorado..
