Roof Mount Bike Racks Compatible With Trailer Mounted Swagman Roof Rack
Question:
Hello, I have Swagman square crossbars mounted on top of my trailer for a roof rack. I would like to get compatible bike rack system to hook onto these standard bars. Can you suggest which one will work? Thanks

It sounds like you have a roof rack like the Swagman # S80510 Roamer. The crossbars used on that rack measure 1-3/16 inches square which would be compatible with just about every roof mounted bike rack we offer.
The Swagman # S64704 Enforcer roof mounted bike rack you'd looked at is compatible with bikes with 9-mm quick-release skewers and 15-mm thru-axle forks. This rack will work with the Swagman crossbars.
Another option would be a wheel-mount rack like the RockyMounts TomaHawk, part # RKY1222. This rack holds the bike by the wheels, and wouldn't require removal of the bike's front wheel. The rack's a little more expensive than the Swagman rack you'd looked at, but it would be easier to use. This rack would also be compatible with the Swagman roof rack.
I've linked to product demonstration videos for the racks mentioned above.
