About YAKIMA - FrontLoader Wheel-On Mount Upright Bike Carrier for Roof Racks
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
76% found the rack stable, but 24% experienced wobbling
I prefer to use this rack over the easier one because it is the most stable rack I have ever used and I know my bike isn't going anywhere.
The bicycle-car-rack feels solid and stable even on rough roads.
During bad storms with high winds, my bike remained stable and sturdy.
With my road bike, the rack seems stable, but with the beach cruiser, it's wobbly.
80% felt their bikes were secure, but 20% had concerns
The only drawback of the product is the lack of better security for keeping my bike secured to the rack.
77% found the installation process straightforward, but 23% encountered difficulties
The installation process is very simple and takes only a couple of minutes.
Installing it on my factory installed roof rack was easy.
While installing the back of the rack, it became unbalanced and almost busted out the passenger window.
79% found it easy to load and unload their bikes
I found the product super easy to use and even used it with my kid's bike with 20" wheels, and it worked great.
I find the product versatile, solidly built and easy to use.
I can switch between a 26" wheel beater bike and a 700c road bike with one simple adjustment, and it's easy to use.
I need an extra pair of hands to use a cheaper rack, but the Yakima front loader is easy to use even when I am by myself.

83% liked the durable construction, but 17% found it flimsy
I found the bike to be sturdy and stable even in bad storms with high winds.
I enjoy using these because they are secure, durable and not as cumbersome as my old trunk rack.
I have had durability issues with the product. It worked fine for around 2 months, but then I started having problems releasing the tension adjustment screw that tightens the hoops over the front tire. I thought it might be an issue with lubrication so I lubed the screw which definitely made it easier to tighten and loosen. However, I went for a ride this weekend and could not tighten the hoops over my front wheel as a few threads of the tightening screw had become stripped.
77% were satisfied with the compatibility, but 23% faced issues
Tall bikes are difficult to fit.
The Yakima's fit guide on their website lists this mount as compatible with the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but it is not.
