Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount
Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.
Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.
Thule Roof Bike Racks Review - 2014 Scion xB
Today on our 2014 Scion XB, we'll be doing a test fit of the Thule Sprint T-track roof mounted bike rack. That's part number TH569. This bike rack's designed to slide right into the T-channel of your Thule arrow blades. Generally what you'd want to do is you'd want measure out and cut where you'd want your bike rack to be placed in your rubber straps. For today's demonstration we're going to go ahead and just pull those rubber straps on out, so we can show you how it slides in. We'll just pull those right on out.
Thule Sprint Roof Bike Racks Review - 2014 Scion xB
Today on our 2014 Scion XB, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Thule Sprint rooftop mounted bike rack. As you can see, we've already got it up here on top of our vehicle, so you could see what it would look like once you have it installed. It's going to be part number TH528. First things we're going to do to remove the bike, as you would when you place it on, is going to be to undo that strap. Next, we'll move over to the lock set and unlock it. This will allow us to turn the dial on the front, to loosen up the skewer so we can fit the forks in. Now, if you notice, those skewers are pushing out, so if we turn it to the right the skewers are going to pull in, and it'll click once it's tight around your forks.
What our customers are saying:
"I ordered a bike rack for my trailer hitch. It is a great product, very reasonably priced on April 10th. I installed it on my car on the 14th in time for the weekend. How can you go wrong?"
