Just like the name says, the Yakima
2045 SteelHead Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks has an all steel
head unit that's built to last. It's aerodynamic design not only looks
good, it increases stability, which is great for those long trips. It's
not compatible with disc brakes, though, so if your bike has disc
brakes you may want to check out the Yakima
2098 ForkLift. The SteelHead will carry any size bike except for
recumbent and tandem models. The SteelHead is a prefect fit for Yakima
aficionados, and mounting it to your Yakima
roof rack is a breeze. This model only fits Yakima round bars, so
if you have a different brand rack you'll want to look at a different
bike rack. Once you've mounted the SteelHead to your rack, just make
sure the skewer's security peg is lined up with the corresponding hole
in the fork block while threading the adjustment knob onto the skewer.
After it’s installed it's smooth sailing down the road.
Yakima has always had rock-solid options for putting crossbars on your vehicle's factory installed rails. Their LowRider and LowRider Max rack systems fit most vehicles with raised rails and the Locking EZ Rider towers fit most vehicles with flush rails.

Installing Railgrab towers won't take very long. For the front crossbar, first slide two towers onto the bar and install the end caps to keep the towers from sliding off. Then
