Question:

Does this rack work with Disc Brakes?

Expert Reply:

The Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # S64710 is not compatible with bikes that have disc brakes but we do have fork-mount type carriers that are compatible.

Swagman's Enforcer # S64704 will work with disc brakes and 9mm forks or 15mm thru-axles. It includes a lock for the bike and universal mounting hardware. The RockyMounts JetLine # RKY1321 is also disc-compatible and works with 9mm forks but does not include a lock.

For a rack with included locks for both your bike and the rack itself please consider the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles # RKY1201. This is compatible with 5, 9 and 12mm forks and both 15mm and 20mm thru-axle bikes.

A general help article and a video for each rack are linked to illustrate their features and to help you choose your best option.
