Question:
I have a Yakima Forklift roof mount and I am wondering if it will it will hold a fatbike. I know that it is possible to install a longer rear strap but is there a longer skewer or other adaptor for the front fork mount. Thanks for any advice, you have been very helpful in the past. Regards,

I have a solution for you, but the Yakima Forklift does not have a replacement strap available that is longer than what comes with it.
The RockyMounts BrassKnuckles Roof Mounted Bike Rack # RKY1201 can be used with Fat tire bikes by adding their Fattie Fat Tire Adapter Kit # RKY1240. This kit includes a larger wheel holder an extra-long wheel straps. This kit works with tires up to 5-inches wide. I attached a review video that shows the fat tire adapter kit being used as well.
