Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Then rack seems sturdy, but I was shorted on lock nuts for the bolts so I'll have to go pick some up. But the fast shipped it to me without any extra charge.
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!
RockyMounts TieRod Roof Bike Rack Review - 2009 Ford Escape
Today we have a 2009 Ford Escape and were going to be test fitting the RockyMounts Tie Rod Roof Mounted Bike Carrier, part number RKY1014. Now our escape is equipped with a fold roof rack from the factory so were going to mount our tie rod directly to the factory crossbars. Well set the tie rods into place up on top of the crossbars. At the front of the bike rack, well take our rubber coated steel straps and feed them around the front crossbar securing them back into the head of the bike carrier. Well take an Allen wrench and tighten down the straps. With the straps in the front secure we can reinstall our cover and well also make sure that our skewer is unlocked and open.
What our customers are saying:
"I order a Curt trailer hitch and a Rola bike rack on Wednesday. They arrived the next day. Can't do better than that - good prices, fast service. Only thing better would be an automatic install!!! Thank you."
