Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
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!
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 Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Great quality bike rack when paired with the Rhino-rack cross beams. When I use the bike rack and cross beams they are attached to my 2016 Subaru STi and I have drove it fairly aggressively with the bikes on the roof. Everything has stayed attached just fine. The only thing I will point out is that you should check the attachment hardware every few uses because it will occasionally vibrate loose, nothing serious but if you never pay attention to this your bikes may fly off your roof! Ez fix though. I rate the rack 10/10 in my experience.
Couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to go with this bike rack, was on the fence between brands but Rhino Rack makes it beyond easy to use, from installing it on the racks, to daily use is just unbelievably simple! 100% would recommend to anyone looking into bike racks. Also huge selling point for sure is that it covers a very wide range of tire sizes where others are very specific!
Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2015 Volkswagen Golf

Instead, we're going to have two points of contact. We're going to have a rear wheel strap here at the back. Then we're going to have this skewer up at the front which grabs the bike by the forks.

What our customers are saying:
"A couple months ago, I ordered a hitch & bike rack for my new 2005 Saturn VUE. Everything about the order was fast and easy. When my father bought a 2006 VUE, he wanted the same hitch, but it was not listed on the site. I contacted customer service and quickly received a response informing me that they were waiting for details on the new model. The next day I had another email saying it was available, less than an hour later, my order was placed and I had a "shipped" email. Outstanding service!"
