Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.
As always with products I buy from e-Trailer, this item is exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Easy assembly, I bought 2 but only installed one until I check the fit with my rooftop carrier.

Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Great product, super easy to install, and sturdy. IF YOU ARE USING THIS FOR A MOUNTAIN BIKE, they tend to have wider hubs and/or thicker axles that WILL NOT WORK with the skewer and sleeve provided. You have to buy a rhino rack thru axle adapter which is an additional $XXX/per and a different size thru axle sleeve which is $XX/per. I just wish it came with a more universal fork hookup from the start or a cheaper option to change sizes.
Love this bike rack! It fits perfectly with my Rhino Rack Cross Bars. I'm very impressed by the lack of wind noise. With the bike mounted on the rack, you can barely hear the wind noise at 60mph. With the sunroof open you can hear wind noise, but as long as the window is closed, you can only slightly hear anything if the radio is off and you are trying to hear it. Amazing! Can't wait to get more use out of it in the future!

Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Had the rack on the truck for a year No issues bat all Holds the bikes great, never bhad an issue with the bikes up on top
This bike carrier has a clean design and it assembled and attached to the roof rack easily. A locking front cover prevents it from being detached from the roof rack and the tray has a cut out in the front for a disc brake if my next bike has one. Once everything is snug, the bike feels solid and there's no slop.

Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Goes together quickly, appears that it will fit my needs in terms of being cross-compatible on a variety of vehicles. Fit on a Subaru Outback factory crossbar and transported bike locally with no issues when I got it out to set up and test (not quite warm enough to ride much yet where I live). Instructions are not super, but the assembly is pretty straightforward so that is not a problem. At the price point, if this rack indeed holds up to swapping onto multiple vehicles and lasts me a few years, I'll be thrilled with the purchase.
I like the fork-mount design in general for roof mounted bike carriers, and this product gets the job done. (We have 3 attached to the SportRack SR1002, and this seems to work well for us.) However, the assembly instructions were not well written or well illustrated. For example, there is a short carriage bolt that one basically has to guess about where to install, and also you may have to insert some of the bolts backwards from the instructions so that they don't interfere with quick release that clamps onto the fork.
Rhino Rack Road Warrior Roof Bike Racks Review - 2012 Ford Focus
Today, on our 2012 Ford Focus, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Rhino-Rack Road Warrior Rooftop Mounted Bike Carrier. This is going to be for your fork mounting setup onto your roof rack of the vehicle. You can see that we already have the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Blades installed. We're going to show you how this gets mounted to that. First thing you're going to need to do is unlock the end cap using the key that you we're provided, which is going to look like so. It's going to have little teeth on the inside and you're just going to turn that and make sure it's unlocked.
Rhino Rack MountainTrail Roof Bike Racks Review - 2012 Ford Focus
Today on our 2012 Ford Focus, we are going to be doing a test fit of the Rhino Rack Mountain Trail Rooftop Mounted Bike Rack. This is going to be for your single bike to be fork mounted on top of your rack system. As you can see we've already got our Rhino Rack Vortex Arrow Bars installed. This bike rack is going to be part number RBC035, and we're going to set it up here and show you exactly how it's fitted, and what it looks like with a bike on it. First thing we're going to do is make sure that we've got the rubber straps on the inside undone to where we can lay them underneath the bar, and rest the pad on top with the straps coming underneath. Unlock the cover, and remove it. Place the T shape of the rubber strap into the slots and groves here.

Today on our 2012 Ford Focus we're going to be test fitting the Swagman fork-down roof-mounted bike carrier, part number S64710. We already have our carrier assembled according to the instructions and now we're ready to mount it up on top of our vehicle. We'll set the bike carrier up on top of our crossbars. We'll fit the U bolts around our front crossbar, through the head of the bike rack and tighten them with our wing nuts. Once we've done that, we'll take the rear U bolt, fit around our rear crossbar and use the clamp plate and the last two wing nuts to secure the rear of the bike carrier. With that done, our bike carrier is all secured to our roof rack and we're all ready to mount up our bike.
