Swagman Upright Roof Mount Bike Rack

good quality and affordable... i will buy two more... hope the price remain the same...

Muy buena calidad para el precio Da miedo pero funciona bien Recomendado

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.

Great

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 hands by design. Attaching a bike is simple as a result and the screw threads are good that you are not there all day long cranking on it like my other rack. The fact that you can put the bike in the groove and then roll it back and forth to get the clamp connected is very nice. My other rack which costs more is not nearly as simple as because the bike wants to roll right off the rack once you get it out of the spots the wheels go in. I like the simple connections and the easy mounting for the bike. If you had to do this on a roof of an SUV maybe not, but on the bed of my F350 this is easy enough though a bit easier with a stool for a little better reach. The roof a my wifes car is about the same height as the bed of my truck. I am considering getting a second one to replace the other rack that I have that is more difficult to get my bike on.

Easy to install, and bikes stay secure. Have used them to bring the bikes up north for 3 years now and they work great. They don’t take up much space which is nice for storing.
