Yakima 2009 CopperHead Fork Mount Rooftop Bike Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We LOVE this roof top rack. Bike was wobbly at first but my husband realized he didn't have the rack tightened down as much as it should be to the truck. Problem solved.We have 5 kids so there is 7 bikes in all. The bike is very sturdy up there. I am looking to buy another one now.(and a hitch rack) We have a yukon so as a women I don't think I cld put my bike up there but my husband is 6'5". So the height of your vehicle and your height depends if this really works for YOU. You also need an easy release front wheel. Otherwise this would be a pain to have tools w you to remove your wheel. I would have 4 of them if that wouldn't be to pricey but for my budget it would be. we did have to buy a lock separately for it, you don't have to have this but if you plan on leaving your bikes unattended its a good idea.

Product Description:
Yakima's most affordable bike rack, the CopperHead fork-mount rooftop bike rack is strong, attractive, and functional. The CopperHead is equipped with a sturdy fork that attaches quickly and easily to your bike's SKS-lockable skewer. As a result, you can install just about any type of bike on the rack, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and hybrids. (The CopperHead accommodates quick-release wheel skewers, so owners of bikes with nutted front wheels, triple clamp forks, or forks with dropout spacing should consider other mounts instead.) The aerodynamic fork block, meanwhile, adds stability--a must when driving at high speeds or on gravel roads. And despite the low price tag, the CopperHead fits all round and square rooftop crossbars, along with all common bike wheel and tire sizes. Easy to install, the CopperHead comes with Yakima's lifetime warranty.

Yakima Holdup Tray Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Yakima Hold-Up 2 is considerably heavy, 60 lb., giving it a beefy reputation. Though it has a few design flaws that make the owner of expensive mountain bikes (me) go hmmmm....

First it's easy to assemble and mount to your truck. It's even easier to mount bikes on taking little to no time at all.

The Design Flaws:
1.)Plastic components on criticle pieces, one being the ratcheting devices on the wheels to hold the bike down should've been made of metal and the strap that feeds it should be high tension rubber, not plastic as the ratchet can slip on the teeth freeing the tension on the bike.

2.) The 'strong arm' that holds the bike down on the front wheel can come loose. It too has very shallow teeth in which to grab (stamped into metal)again using plastic on metal.

3.) The MOST critical piece that did in fact fail more than the above metioned flaws is the pin that keeps the bike rack level. It only goes in just over a quarter of an inch. As the bike travels any bump frees the pin, it catches when it comes down and essentially ratchets itself free causing the rack to drop. It doesn't drop to the ground thank goodness but why even have it drop any? It should bottom out when level and a pin should go all the way through with a cotter pin of sorts to keep it in place. There is a hole on the other side, so I drilled the pin side out and put an eight grade bolt with locking nut on the other side.

4.) The two bolts that hold each platform are put in upside down, along with the bracket,,..wtf? It should mount on top. Another thing is that in about two minutes you can unscrew these with a wrench and take the bikes along with half your rack. Not a good anti-theft system.

5.) The cable it comes with is a joke, along with the locking mechanism that bolts through your reciever. You have to pound the lock on to get it to lock. The mechanism is comprised of a soft lead like metal that shaves off easily, not a good thing when used on a hardened steel bolt that it comes with, it weakens it then is useless.

If Yakima fixed these it would have one bomber bike carrier. It is heavy duty, just the design flaws are critical in keeping your bikes on the rack securely. I had no problem with them falling off, they just came loose, the pin backed out several times and the rack fell several times, not good going down a highway.

Curt Manufacturing 18019 4 Bike Rack Folding 2X2 Receiver-Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I agree with other review; plate that is suppose to secure bike to rack is for smaller framed bikes, which many bikes today are not smaller diameter bikes...wasted my money, ok for short hauls (5-10 miles), used it on one long haul and felt as if i needed to stop all the time and check it.had a similar bike rack that was excellent with one plate that secured all bikes instead of multiple plates and screws....very disappointed...would not recommend and should specify that it DOES NOT come with a hitch pin!!!!!!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't feel it is safe carrying two bikes on this product.It is too flimsy for regular sized bikes. Perhaps it would O.K. for ultralight racing bikes, but that's not the kind I ride any longer.Perhaps the manufacturer should note a weight limit.This is one of the few times I feel I have made a mistake by buying on line through Amazon.It was a total waste of money.

Thule 444 Specialty Load Carrier Complete Roof Rack (Volkswagen Golf/Jetta/GTI 1993-1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This rack easily fits on my 1998 Jetta, almost like it was made for it. It's sturdy despite being relatively inexpensive compared with other rack systems and easily (and quickly) disassembles. Plus it looks cool.

BUT...
Do not buy from The Rack Warehouse. Worst customer service I've seen in a company in a long time, and honestly, that is saying something.
