Question:

I have a Specialzed Stumpjumper mountain bike - 2012 model - my current Allen trunk Mounted bike racks works ok on my Toyota Camry but will not fit my new 2015 Rav 4 XLE so Im considering the Fullback. . My question on the Fullback is the length of the straps that secure the bike. To the rack. My Stumpjumper has a thicker front frame and when you it in the front bike holder there is barely enough strap length to tightly secure it. The frame closer to the seat of the bike is normal so the straps are secure there. So can mountain bikes be secured on the Fullback?

Expert Reply:

I looked up pictures of your Specialized StumpJumper and it can be used on the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 that you referenced but you will need to use an adapter bar like the part # UB01. This adapter will attach to the steering stem and the seat post to provide a level attachment for the rack.

I attached a review video for the adapter for you to check out as well.
