Availability of Roof Mount Bike Rack That Fits a 50 inch Crossbar Spread
Question:
I have installed the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack on my hard tonneau cover in order to carry two kayaks. This works well. Now I am in need of a bike carrier that will work with the Roamer Rack with the bars spaced at 50. My bike has a 47inch wheel base. Can you recommend a carrier that will work? Thanks,

As convenient as it would be to put a roof mount bike rack on the Roamer Rack # S80510 that sits on your tonneau cover, there are no roof mount bike rack options that will fit a crossbar spread of 50 inches. I do have another option for you though.
If your vehicle is the 2010 Nissan Frontier that you input as your vehicle then you can use the Draw-Tite # 75282 trailer hitch receiver along with a hitch mounted bike rack.
A great cost-effective option for a bike rack is the Curt # C18085 which holds bikes by their wheels. This bike rack can carry a wide variety of bikes as long as they do not have a fender. It also features a weight capacity of 45 pounds per bike.
I also recommend adding some security to your setup by using the Cable Lock # e98891 for your bike.
