Today we are going to show you part number S64720 from Swagman. This is the Swagman upright roof rack. This will fit a variety of different types of roof racks that are on the market. We have one installed on a Thule roof rack and we will show you how it works. The bicycle rack will attach to the roof rack, like so, with basically a U bolt and a clamp and a couple of tension knobs. Then also on the front of the rack, with the pivot point it also clamps into place around the roof rack. It has 2 knobs on top and there is a set of 4 upfront here. Next we will show you the clamp that actually does the work on the bike itself. This clamp right here has nice rubber padding on both sides of the knob. And basically you just use this knob to screw them together and that clamps into place on your bicycle. And also, there is a built in lock here. So when you tighten it down to leave your bike on the roof rack you can simply lock it and then the handle free wheels so it will not go anywhere and you can not take it off.
We will go ahead and put a bicycle on here and show you how it works. Simply fit the wheels into the track, you do not have to worry about taking off the front wheel with this model. You can roll the bike back and forth as you need to get the jaws into place. Once you have it into place you can simply go ahead and clamp it down. Next we need to do our wheel straps, just a little buckle basically. Pull it as tight as you can. There is one for each wheel. Alright, the bike is installed and it is ready to go down the road. And there you have it for part number S64720 from Swagman, their upright roof rack.

I was nervous about purchasing these mounts after reading a few of the reviews and because we would typically go for Thule or Yakima when purchasing something like this, but we were pleasantly surprised by the Swagman product. The cost of four mounts was equal to about 1-2 mounts made by Thule or Yakima and the Swagman mounts worked great for our 4 bikes. We have them on our pop up tralier roof rack, drove about 5 hours on the highway and in areas with a lot of cross wind without any incidents or excessive movements on the bikes. I'm wondering if some of the other reviewers did not have the bikes in the mounts correctly. I would definitely recommend these mounts to anyone looking for a deal and quality.15825

I own a roof fack for a Chevy Aveo and found out that the bike rack option was discontinued. The upright bike rack fits my roof rack perfectly and was simple to assemble.18279

Great "universal" rack for a lot less $ than other brands. With just minimal knowledge of nuts, bolts and spacers this rack can easily be attached to a slightly curved roof rack, like my toyta highlander.14751

Thanks I received my Carrier quickly with no hassles. I've been shopping for awhile and came across Etrailer and happy I did. Your pricing and follow through were great and also your on line demo of the rack made it an easy sell ! 7777

Swagman Upright Roof Rack I ordered a bike rack on standard shipping. To my pleasant suprise it was shipped to me "RUSH". I found the rack easy to assemble. The rack seems sturdy and is very similar in design to my old rack. It will be three months until the weather here allows me to use it. So I can't report on its actual performance yet. The quality of the rack falls within the price I paid for it. For the price I am sure it will perform a good job transporting my new bike on top of my vehicle. 5664

Good product, works great Just completed about 500 miles of mixed highway and secondary driving with two adult bikes in these racks on the roof of a Toyota RAV-4. Racks performed flawlessly. The bikes don't sit precisely vertical when mounted because the rack conforms to the slight convex radius of the factory crossbars. But they both held tight, no paint damage to the bikes where the support clamps to the downtube. Relatively easy assembly, just time-consuming the first time out. Overall very pleased.3356

very flimsy Just installed the rack and took a ride around the block with a mountain bike on top. Bike is swaying. Rack is constructed of thin metal stock, trays, arms, arms connectors are flimsy - absolutely no comparison to Thule, for example. By feel and look, this rack seems simply dangerous to use. 3165

Great rack for the money! Very easy to use rack for the money. Takes a little time to set-up and mount for the first time (as with most racks) but securely fits narrow (Nissan) or wide factory (Toyota) load bars. Folds down for a very low profile when not in use. Clamp worked for child's bike (i.e. very small frame), kid's mountain bike (with a wide alternative wide tube frame) and regular adult mountain bike. Love not having to remove bike tires. Recommend keeping clamp completely closed and under pressure when not in use as the red clamp pads can fall out. Other then that great racks with locks for the money!2003
