Hey Roger, thanks for reaching out. We do have a PDF of the operating manual for the Oris Trailer Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver #TS58VR. I've linked that for you below. There isn't an online version of the installation instructions…
Hey Keith! Yes, the Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack #DRT15 is designed for bikes with a 15mm x 100mm front thru-axle, so it's a great fit for your Aventon Level 3. Just make sure you install it on a surface capable of handling the weight from your e-bike.…
Hey Pat. The Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack item #DRT15 does not have a listed weight capacity because it is a bolt-on fork mount. The weight capacity of this kind of setup is going to be determined by what you mount it too. This mount only works with bikes…
Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it is possible to use the old-style Thule square bars on your 2010 Honda CR-V. What you can do is use Inno brand towers and fit kit. The current Inno square bars are identical to the old Thule bars, so those…
Hey, Jesse. Completely understand wanting to confirm fitment. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame hitch, part #DT79MR, is the same as Draw-Tite's part number 76342. We just use a unique part number for our website. This hitch will bolt up, but you will have…
You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) #Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar…
The Rola Sport REX Series Roof Rack 59685 is a great roof rack but I have a different recommendation for you. The highest weight capacity roof rack that we have is from Rhino-Rack with a 220 lb weight capacity. Typically vehicles do not have roof…
Hey Jared. The RockyMounts MachTen Roof Bike Rack item #RKY97MR can only be attached to roof racks with the included clamps. It does not have the ability to be mounted in the channels on crossbars. The Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike item…
We've checked with Thule in the past about if there's a fat tire adapter for the BigMouth and they have told us there isn't a solution and also that there isn't a longer strap like you are looking for. The Thule ProRide Roof Bike Rack…
The tires on a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer (part #Y08106 or #Y08107) are much smaller than a vehicle so installing the Replacement Inner Tube #Y8880283 would be similar to a bike. If you've changed out the tube on a bike before or you're…
There is a version of the ProRide XT that is compatible with 4-1/2 inch tires, though the base model #TH598004 only fits tires up to 3 inches wide. So what you will need instead is the version with fat tire adapters, which is the following part…
Yes the Thule ProRide XT for Fat Bikes part #TH598004-FB can easily carry standard bike tire widths as well. The trays are wider to accommodate the fat tires but standard bike tires will fit just as well.

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!
Elevate Your Cycling Adventures with Roof Bike Racks
Roof bike racks are a fantastic solution for transporting your bike securely and efficiently. They offer versatility for different bike styles and are perfect for those who love road trips or need extra space in their vehicle. Consider the ease of installation, compatibility with your vehicle, and the stability of the rack when choosing the right one.
Installation is generally straightforward, with many racks designed for easy setup. However, having cross bars on your vehicle is essential. Some racks may require additional tools or steps, like using a step stool for easier access. Watching installation videos specific to your vehicle can be very helpful.
Most roof bike racks provide good stability, but it's crucial to ensure proper installation. Some users recommend using additional straps for extra security, especially on rough roads. Regularly checking the tension of bolts and clamps can prevent any unwanted movement.
Ensure your vehicle has compatible cross bars, as they are necessary for mounting the rack. Some vehicles may require custom solutions to avoid conflicts with features like lift gates. Checking the manufacturer's specifications for your vehicle model is advisable.
Roof bike racks are versatile and can accommodate various bike styles, including mountain and fat tire bikes. Some racks offer multiple attachment options, but it's wise to check if additional parts are needed for specific bike types, like quick release skewers.
Regularly inspect the rack for any loose parts or wear. Applying a thin rubber coating can protect the finish. If storing the rack indoors, tape hardware to the rack to avoid losing pieces. Monitoring bolt tension over time ensures long-term stability.
