Standard Roof Rack Fork Mount (Pair)

These racks are truly universal in that they can be adjusted to fit pretty much any bike or any roof rack. The major complaint that everyone has with them is that they are partially held together with very weak welds. Normal side to side rocking that the bike experiences in cornering or rough roads is enough to break the welds. When I received my set, one look at the design made it obvious that the welds would break when exposed to rough roads. The solution, however, is easy. I just drilled two holes, one on either side of the two big metal plates that are held together by the welds. I inserted bolts in the holes, used large washers on both sides, and a nut on the end of the bolts. The bolts provide a much stronger connection than the welds, and the large washers spread the force over a bigger surface area so things don't get bent out of shape over time. With this simple modification, my rack has held together even on very rough dirt roads. I've used the racks for about 6 months of frequent use with no signs of weakening. The extra bit of work that was required was well worth it considering the price of name brand bike racks.

good for a cheap rack. all fasteners are nylon insert locknuts so should stay tight together. Holes all along to fit varying spacing on crossbars, my car's crossbars do not slide at all. quick release clamps well. Fastens to bars with 2 different sizes of U-bolts supplied so it is very universal. U bolts fasten with hand knobs.

This bike rack is very, very cheap. It is flimsy, difficult to assemble, rusts easily, and looks bad. But, it is easily the least expensive bike rack I've ever encountered. I am happy with my purchase just because I know I'm not going to get much use out of it, and I'm only going to go short distances with bikes attached. If you have any serious use for a rack, then don't buy this, you'll end up needing a more rugged one anyway.

Exactly what I needed. Low tech simple way to haul my bike without drilling holes or otherwise modifying my vehicle or having to buy other equipment to support it (hitch). Two for **** was a great deal. Gives me the option of using one or both. Easy to take on and off after you initially assemble them. Took about 30 minutes to assemble and place one.
