About Swagman STANDARD Fork Mount Rooftop Bike Carrier
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
80% found the rack stable, but 20% experienced wobbling
I found the bike to be stable even in windy conditions on I 95.
After two uses, I found the bike rack to be neither durable nor safe. The rail was warping on the rear end where the u-bolt attaches to the crossbars, indicating that it is not stable enough to support the weight of the bikes and general driving movement.
78% felt their bikes were secure, but 22% had concerns
I have noticed that the security feature of the bike mount is not reliable as it can be easily removed with 6 hand nuts. Therefore, I would not leave my bike on the car and go into a building for an extended period of time.
72% found the installation process straightforward, but 28% encountered difficulties
I had difficulty understanding the poor and unclear instructions despite the simple assembly and mounting.
76% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
I was hesitant at first, but I am now happy with the device and how easy it is to mount.
Assembling the rack was easy and it is versatile.
Loading and unloading bikes from the rack is easy.
80% liked the durable construction, but 20% found it flimsy
The rack has been on my roof for about a month and is holding up great even in rain and sun.
I transported my bikes from Colorado to Ohio without any issues using the durable rack.
After two uses, I cannot recommend these racks as durable or safe. I noticed the rail was warping on the rear end, where the u-bolt attaches to the crossbars.
72% appreciated the high capacity
My bikes are under 35 pounds with both wheels attached, so they are well within the weight limits of the mount.
