The Yakima Boa Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks

The Yakima Boa Short Tray Fork Mount Bike Carrier
    If you're looking for a basic fork mount bicycle carrier at a great price, the Yakima 2065 Boa Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks is  the rack for you. Just like a real boa constrictor, once the Yakima Boa's quick release skewer gets a grip on your bike, it's not going anywhere. It uses the same rugged plastic head unit as the Copperhead, with a universal skewer that can be locked with one SKS Lock Core (not included.) Instead of a long tray like that on most fork mounts, the Boa  has a short plastic rear tray that will allow the rear wheel to be attached to the rear crossbar on your roof rack. You do have to be careful though, because in order for this bike rack to work properly, the distance between your bike's front fork rear wheel must be within a few inches of the distance between the bars on your roof rack. The Boa can be safely mounted on racks whose crossbars are between 32" and 50" apart, so if your roof rack has a shorter or longer span the Boa will not work at all. Also, if you use two Boas at once, both bikes will need to be roughly the same length; if they have different wheel spans, two Boas most likely will not work. The Yakima Boa will fit on Yakima round bars or Thule square bars, and installation is a breeze. Tighten a few bolts with the included Allen wrench on the front, tighten a wing nut on the back, and you're ready to go!
