Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
The bike rack worked well and I'm happy with the quality for the affordable cost. There is only one problem I encountered with the unit. The instructions show that the U-bolts should be attached using plastic hand tighten nuts and then a standard nut after that. Neither of the two units I purchased included enough hardware for the standard nut for the U-bolt. The plastic hand tighten nuts were all that I was able to use to attach the U-bolts. Since the instructions show additional hardware, the user is left wondering if the rack is properly secured. I called Swagman and talked to customer service. They said they will send additional hardware and pass the information along to the appropriate people in the company.
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.
Thule Big Mouth Roof Bike Racks Review - 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
Today on our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, we're going to be test fitting the Thule Big Mouth. This is a frame clamp style roof mounted bike rack. It's part number is TH599XTR. Now we've got the Thule Crossroads Roof Rack System already installed onto our Pathfinder, so we're going to begin our test fit by placing the bike rack right up onto our load bars. At the front here we need to loosen up the two wing nuts that are located here and here on the top. With those loosened, it allows us to remove the T bolt from the lower portions of our clamp. Now as you can see, we've got those separated, so we're going to bring those back.
Swagman Upright Roof Bike Racks Review - 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
Today on our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder we're going to be test fitting the Swagman upright. This is a frame clamp style roof mounted bike rack. It's part number is S64720 and we've got the Tooley Rapid Crossroads roof rack system that we've already installed on our Pathfinder. So we'll begin our test fit by placing the rack right up on to those cross bars. At the front of the rack we're going to bring one of our U bolts around the underside of our cross bar. Put it up through the head of the carrier and thread two wing nuts onto it.
What our customers are saying:
"Everyone that bought before me was right! I got my rack in time for my next days off and putting it together was fast too. And I'm a grandma!! Thank you for being fast and honest! You beat anyone in my town hands down!"
