Yakima Roof Bike Racks Review - 2020 Toyota Tacoma- Video
Evangeline: Hi. It's Evangeline from etrailer.com and today we are looking at the Yakima High Road roof bike rack on our 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Now, what's great about this bike rack is if you need to mount your bike and have it ready to go right when you dismount it, it's great for that. It has a wheel mount as well, so we have our carbon fiber frame bike up there and it's okay because you don't have to worry about warping, like we might would maybe either frame mounts.Now, some other bike racks, especially roof bike racks, might be forked bike racks. And the main difference for here is that with this one, you don't have to worry about taking off your front wheel, storing it while you're on your trip and reattaching it after you arrive. You just lift it off and you're ready to go.So while this is a great bike rack, the question is can your bike fit on it So this can handle wheel diameters of 26 to 29. more
