Will 2 of the Swagman Rooftop Bike Carriers fit on Factory Cross Bars on a 2011 Chevy Tahoe
Question:
Will this roof bike rack part# S64720 fit on a 2011 Chevy Tahoe with the oblong cross bars? There is a little curve to them. I want to mount 2 bikes, and Im towing a travel trailer so the hitch mount isnt an option. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier, # S64720, will fit most factory roof rack load bars. As long as your load bars are no larger than 3-1/8 inches wide and 1-7/8 inches tall and the distance between your cross bars is no less than 28 inches, and no more than 34 inches, you can use this bike carrier.
When carrying two bikes you may find it easier to carry one forward and one facing rearward to keep the handlebars from interfering with each other.
For ease of installation of the bike racks and bikes you may want to consider the Wheel Mount Tire Step, # HE4040, which folds flat for easy storage and adjusts to fit any tire size.
