Yakima Steelhead Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Review

I had Steelheads many years ago and when I needed a rack for my new car I decided to get another set. I leave the rack on my car for extended periods and need the extra security that this mount offers. Unfortunately, I discovered that Yakima does not sell replacement parts for the clamping head. Over time, exposure to the sun has caused the red plastic levers to crumble to pieces, and Yakima Customer Service told me that I would have to buy an entire replacement head which is about half the cost of a new mount. How eco-friendly is that? Luckily, it can be fixed with a stainless worm screw hose clamp threaded through the slot and around the head to keep the halves together. It doesn't look as nice but it's probably stronger than the original design. It would get 5 stars if Yakima provided service parts for the heads.

Product Description:
The SteelHead's combination of value and security make it the most popular bike mount on the market. Extremely strong, the SteelHead withstands a ton of abuse. More importantly, it's simple to use, with a quick no-tool installation that sets up in seconds. Simply attach the SteelHead to your car's existing Yakima roundbars, then connect your bike's fork to the SteelHead and secure the wheel. The unit also features an aerodynamic fork block that creates a low profile and extra stability, along with an SKS-lockable skewer (the core is sold separately). Designed to fit a wide range of wheels and tires, the SteelHead carries a limited lifetime warranty.
