Will the Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier S64710 Work With Disc Brake Bike?
Question:
Hello, Checking to see if this fork mounted rack system does in fact allow the front fork mount to accommodate a fork with a disc brake caliper. Ive seen videos that do show it installed that way, but your description says otherwise. I have a Giant MTB with the 100mm spacing and 9mm skewer. Tire size 2.25 inch. Thanks, Frank

The Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier, # S64710 is not compatible with bikes that have disc brakes but we do have a fork-mount type carrier that is. The Swagman's Enforcer, # S64704 will work with disc brakes and requires that your bike have a 9-mm, quick-release front wheel skewer.
