The Yakima SprocketRocket
The Yakima
2090 Sprocket Rocket Bicycle Carrier for Car Roof Racks is Yakima’s
latest design in fork mount bike racks, and they've
spared no expense on style and security. Like the HighRoller, this
model has a tough, double wall wheel tray that's as easy on the eyes as
it is to operate. The rear wheel strap assembly slides smoothly on the
tray for quick, one-hand adjustment to your bike's wheelbase. The head
unit is rugged, powder coated steel, and the stainless steel skewer
employs an integrated tensioning knob you can adjust with one hand. The
skewer tension adjustment knob is normally hidden beneath a flip-up
lockable steel cover, so the addition of one SKS
Lock Core (sold seperately) gives you the best security available
in a fork mount bike carrier. The SprocketRocket accommodates fat or
skinny tires, as well as most disc brake types.
Installation is simple. The head unit hinges open
and closes around your roof rack's crossbar, and is tightened in place
when you push down the red switch on top of the head. The skewer slides
through both halves of the head unit, for complete security when your
skewer is locked. For the rear, a Yakima
SnapAround wraps around the crossbar and is connected to the tray
with a bolt and wingnut. The SprocketRocket is compatible with Yakima
round bars and Thule square bars, and all mounting hardware is
included. For even more info, you can download the complete
SprocketRocket instructions, or watch the following demonstration
