Yakima Steelhead Reviews

Description:
The SteelHead’s combination of value and security make it the most popular bike mount on the market. It’s extremely strong. It’ll withstand a lot of abuse. And it’s simple to use. Therefore, you don’t have to be a complete egghead to realize buying a SteelHead is a pretty smart move.

While it does take some initial fiddling to get the proper spacing for the quick release, once it is set, the process is quick and secure. If you have disc brakes, be sure to check if this carrier will work with your brake set. If you ride really wide, greater than 2½ in or 6.3 CM, tires, check to make sure your tire will properly seat in the trough. Within these limitations, this is a great choice.
