Review on 🚲 ROCKBROS Suction Cup Bike Rack for Car Roof | Quick Release Aluminium Alloy Bicycle Carrier Roof Rack for 1 Bike by Patrick Burton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far the car rack is fine Accessory

The RockBros Suction Cup Roof Bike Rack is a unique product that uses suction cups to attach the bike rack to the car roof. The first thing you'll notice is the quality and strength of the aluminum parts and how easy it is to assemble the bike (more on that in a moment). The front fork is secured with a lock similar to the lock on the front wheel, while the rear wheel stays in place with a strong Velcro strap that wraps tightly around the bottom of the tire. As with anything else there shouldn't be a problem as long as you follow the instructions carefully and make sure everything is secure and the suction cups are secure. Today was the first serious road test. Even when I was driving at 75 and constantly at 60, the wheel stayed firmly on the roof. No wobble, nothing. He endured it very well. As with any roof rack, the biggest problem I've found, especially if you have an SUV, is that you need a ladder to get your bike there. You also need to hold the bike in a special way. If you're not careful, this can result in the fork making small dents in your roof, as I experienced today. However, once you develop the strength and skills to raise and lower your bike, the rest will be easy. And again it is VERY easy to install the bike rack, mount the bike and remove it from the bike. However, I don't know how long the suction cups will last and I didn't take it seriously. The test still has 50-100 miles to go, but early results are encouraging. Especially if you don't have a roof rack, this is a pretty good option.
