Top Racks
Home » Mountain Biking » Car Bike Racks » Top RacksLets take a minute and will look at top racks. This kind of rack is attached to the top of the car. Not all cars have the same type of roof. Some have a rounded roof, while others are longer and straighter. Not to worry though, the companies that make roof racks have the made it fairly simple to purchase the right roof rack for the right car. Some cars already have caused an racks attached to them. This is also not a problem. The major bike rack manufacturers, Yakima and Thule, may adapter kits for these cars. Sometimes, because the entire system did not originate from the manufacturer, these adapted car racks are not as stable as a complete system would be.
These roof racks come with runners to set the bike tires in. Some runners require the front tire of the bike to be taken off, and the front fork locked down in the front lock. This is a sturdy and safe way to transport your bike. Other runners do not require the front tire of the bike to be taken off. This type of rack system looks of it, but rest assured it is stable and safe. Most of these roof racks can carry up to two bikes. This is the perfect rack for a young couple starting out or a young college student.
