The new Pitchfork fork mounted
roof top bike carrier from Rocky Mounts brings a whole new meaning
to the phrase "low profile". Although the Pitchfork is only about an
inch and a half tall, its tubular aluminum tray is 40% stronger and 2
inches longer (45") than previous tray designs, giving you more tray
with less wind noise. The long-throw quick release skewer and rear tire
ratcheting strap will hold your bike like a champ, whether you've got a
road bike or a mountain bike with fat tires (up to 2.7 inches). The
Pitchfork sports a unique dual-locking design. By
locking the skewer with one Rocky Mounts Lock Core
both your bike and the tray are locked to your roof rack. For even
greater security, you can also install a second lock core to secure the
tray to your rack even when the skewer isn't locked. The Pitchfork roof
mounted bicycle carrier fits Yakima roundbars and Thule square bars
(all mounting hardware is included) and comes with a one year warranty.
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
