I had a roof rack with ski and bike mounts that lasted for more than a decade. The company was pleasant and generous when I had questions or parts requests. When I got a new car with factory installed rack, had to get new rooftop bike rack. Thought only of Yakima. Bought this product. For me, I find the clamping mechanism of the fork to be difficult to use, sometimes maddeningly frustrating. First, when putting the bike mounts on the roof rack, it requires a feat of dexterity since you have to hold the skewer stable, while also pulling the spring loaded locking cam away from the clamping handle... and then twist the handle to screw in the skewer. It's a pain. After getting the bike mount on roof rack, I find it difficult to then get the tension exactly right for the forks - it's a very small margin of error between too tight and too loose. If you have multiple bikes or transport friends' bikes, etc., it's not quick or easy to adjust the fork mount. Same annoyance with putting tension on the cam and twisting the handle. Finally, it takes two hands to get the rear tire strap out of the locking mechanism. I'm often realizing that I need to get it out of the locking mechanism while holding the bike. I have to set the bike down and get it out with two hands. It's a small thing, but my last Yakima rack I could get this mechanism to work with one hand. On positive side, the SKS lock core installs easily, it looks attractive, and is secure on my Outback's factory rack. Overall, for me, it's not a great product since your main interface with the rack is using the fork mount clamp and rear wheel strap. I find both to be mildly frustrating and wish it had more intuitive and easy-to-use design.

On one of my bikes, with Fox forks and a Shimano XTR calliper (so, calliper mounted direct to the fork), it can just about be persuaded on. The other bike, which has a Rock Shox fork and Tektro callipers (so, an adapter between the fork and the calliper) it just won't fit.

My main complaint is the locking skewer. It's an external cam skewer, and it doesn't clamp as securely to the front fork as almost any actual quick release skewer, particularly like the internal cam skewers that Shimano or Campagnolo have been making for many decades. On top of that it is wearing out making it have less and less clamping force. It's somewhat ridiculous as it's much larger & heavier than a wheel QR so it should be able to be built with large clamping force and great durability. I suppose I need to talk to Yakima and get a replacement, but my experience is these skewers will be worn out in a season if you were to mount/unmount your bike 3-4 times a week so maybe it's time to look for a locking skewer from another company that is a more reliable/durable design.","textLength":933,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2016-01-18T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"acceptedTermsAndConditions":true,"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"wheel mounting","score":0.45},{"name":"fork mount","score":0.42},{"name":"locking","score":0.6}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Yakima","siteUrl":"https://yakima.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/5309_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"1493-8002098","title":"Yakima ForkLift Rooftop Fork Bike Mount","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/1493-8002098","category":"cycling-accessories-racks","reviewCount":14,"ratingCount":14,"averageRating":4.1,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3,"4":7,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6855741,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Too Long","text":"Fit guide recommended for my 2010 Honda CRV, but the hatch hits the back of the rack when in place and pops the plastic guard right out.
