Matthew: I purchased three of these, and Ives used two of them together and one alone so far. The initial build is a little tedious, especially since the spacing between your roof cross bars matters so much. You’ve got to line up the two track channels to see how long your bike rack needs to be, then line up the two attachment plates to attach to you cross bars. It’s a bit timely, but necessary in order to make the bike installation as smooth as possible. I assembled one for a Nissan armada and it worked great for a four hour highway speeds- trip. Once we were done with that I transferred it to a ford explorer. The cross bars were spaced differently, so I had to adjust the main front plate. I added three of these to the explorer, alternating the direction to allow all three bikes to fit nicely without clanking handle bars or pedals.

The middle bike mounting will be the most difficult because you have to reach to the middle of the roof and position the bike accordingly.

With all of that being said… these are exceptional. Once the swagman is mounted to the roof, mounting the bikes is easy. Of course you need to physically lift your bike onto the roof,...

Jan Michael TanJan Michael Tan: While the rack works well, the provided nut isn’t secure and keeps falling off the bolt. I can hear it clattering while I drive. I already lost two. Replacing the bolt with zip ties seems to work quite well.

Shawn: So not sure about all the lower ratings and reviews. I've had no issues with the rack.

I used the rack on both the roof my vehicle and other times the top of a camper. No issues.
Travelled for over 3 hours on highway with no issues.
I added additional tie down straps, however I do this with all the bike racks...even the more expensive ones.

davido: This type of rack has been around a long time, and works well if you, like me, require a roof rack and prefer keeping the front wheel on the bike while it's being transported. The rack arm grips the bike's down-tube, holding it upright, and then a wheel strap in front and in back keeps everything in place. The knob for tightening the arm comes with a key lock, so the bike can be locked to the vehicle. Whether this is an adequate theft deterrent depends a lot on how long you leave the bike on top of the car, where you're parked, and if you can keep it in view. Remember, the rack itself does not lock to the roof, so a would-be thief just needs to remove the rack (five thumb screws) to make off with the rack and the bike. So I give the locking feature three stars. It's enough to deter an opportunist. Not enough to deter a determined thief. But on the other hand, most bike locks can be defeated in seconds or minutes with a battery powered grinder. So deterrence is probably about all you can hope for anyway.

Carrying a bike: Set the bike on its wheels atop the rack's wheel tray. Then lift the arm up to the bike's down-tube, and tighten it around the down-tube....

Dan Durig: I attached this to my rhino rack square tube rack that goes over the bed of the truck. The bolts were just long enough to be able to do so. While the mechanism is pretty basic to attach with the u bolts the other rack that I own I ended up having to go to the hardware store and rigging up because it did not fit the heavy duty rhino racks that I have. It is simple to figure out and you don't need to over think it. If you lose the instructions they are pretty easy to find online (Not the case with others which is why I bought this the second time around).

Mine seemed to be missing one of the red clips for the clamp. I am not sure if I lost it pulling it out of the box or if it was lost along the way as I mounted it. Regardless the second one flew off the first time I took the bike off the rack so that stinks and I will never find the other one so I am using it without them and I just added some thin rubber pads to this to replace them. So far so good, no scratching the bikes and no problems with them wiggling lose after several 2hr trips.

I am not sure why Amazon asks you about security on this rack. There is none. You can remove the bolts with your...

Lumagon: El artículo es de un precio bajo comparado con otros. Por un instante pensé que por el preció no cubriría expectativas, pero la verdad es que si. El artículo cubre el propósito, en cuanto a seguridad, tiene una llave para asegurar la bicicleta contra el robo, pero como dije anteriormente, por el precio no es lo mejor. Creo que si estarás al pendiente de tú bicicleta y el lugar donde resguardas tú auto es seguro, bajo estas circunstancias, el artículo está muy bien! y lo recomiendo mucho.
