The Thule
558p Tandem Bike Carrier for Roof Racks offers a safe way to carry
your tandem or recumbent bike around town or across the country. This
bike mount features a swiveling head that allows you to attach the fork
to the skewer without having to lift the whole bike on top of your
rack. Once the fork is in place, just lift the rear wheel up onto the
tray and strap it down. The Thule Tandem bicycle tray mounts directly
to Yakima round bars or Thule square bars, but is not compatible with
Thule aero bars, the Xsporter, or factory racks. Also, a minimum of 22”
between the front and back bars is required to mount the Tandem to your
roof
rack. The only tool required for installation is a 1/2" wrench (not
included.) for added security, the use of Thule's 538
Cable Lock with the Tandem carrier is highly recommended, as the
Tandem carrier does not have any built-in locking functionality. Though
the lack of a locking feature is an inconvenience, the 558p Tandem
Bicycle Carrier is an otherwise fine fork mount that will give you
years of dependable service.
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. But now, Yakima has one tower system that works on both types of factory rails, the RailGrab. With the new Yakima 0138 RailGrab Towers for Railing Mounted Car Roof Racks , you can put Yakima crossbars on practically any factory installed rails, but this isn't your usual One Size "Fits" All situation. You truly get a custom fit for your rack, and if you buy a new vehicle, or you want to swap your rack between two vehicles, you'll still get a great, low-profile rack that fits like a glove regardless of factory rail type or size. 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
