On this bike rack it's secured to our two arms in 3 locations. We've got the two straps that go across the top here. Then one that is on the down tube of the bike here to serve as an anti-way strap to help prevent it from moving too much and not hit the bike next to it or the vehicle. Let's remove our bike. In order to do that you squeeze on the tabs on the sides of these straps. They're also called zip strips. more

Yakima Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2016 Honda HR-V Y02634- Video
Today on our 2016 Honda HRV we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima full back 2 bike trunk mount rack with adjustable arms, part number Y02634. On this trunk mount bike rack, the bike secured down in 3 locations. It's got 2 straps that go across the top at either arm, and then down on the side where we've got the down tube, it's got one more that serves as an anti-sway strap to make sure that the bike doesn't move too far either way in order to hit the other bike or possibly the vehicle. It also features an integrated cable lock that would attach out here at the end of this arm to that post right there. Let's remove our bike. In order to do that, you simply squeeze on the tabs on either side and remove these straps which are also called "zip strips". Then we can take our bike and set it off to the side. Once we're done, it's a good idea to replace the zip strips so they don't get lost or damaged. Now let's take a couple measurements to see what the total distance is added to the vehicle. Total distance added to the vehicle, you're looking about 29 inches. The arms on this bike rack are adjustable. more

We already have a bike installed on the rack, let's go and take a closer look and show off some of the features. How the bike is actually attached to the rack, we're going to have three points of contact with the bike's frame. We're going to have two straps, up at the top here and one off to the side. That's going to serve as an anti squeeze trap to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and possibly damaging the bikes in front of it. Let's go and take that off and set that aside. With the bike in this position, I'm going to go ahead and give you a quick measurement. more
