Yakima Wheel Fork Tire Mount

The Yakima Wheel Fork Tire Mount securely holds one front wheel and comes equiped with quick release secondary security tabs. An anti-spin device stabilizes wheel, and it mounts equally well to round or square crossbars.

Bottom Line: With improved security features, the Wheel Fork Tire Mount will stick around for the long haul.

Great for mountain bikers, okay for road

I purchased two of these wheel forks because I started racing cross and I didn't want to put my muddy tires inside my car. The things work great, but I'm not that thrilled with the anti-spin device. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but it is difficult to get the wheel into the fork. So I took the anti spin device off and just position the tire so that it sits on my roof. Looks awesome with the rest of my rack though!

Can I mount it directly to a factory Dodge roof rack?

It completely depends on what your crossbars are like. If you have round or square crossbars, you'll be fine.

If they're the typical airplane wing-shaped factory crossbars, you'll need to get a set of towers and crossbars before you can use this.

Yakima Fork Tire Wheel Mount

By: Dave Krosch(2)

The product itself is great. Far improved over past models with both the stop that keeps the wheel secure and the device which keeps the wheel from spinning. That said I wish the website would have had dimensions for the mount. With two bike mounts and one kayak mount on top of my Xterra, I had a hard time fitting them (I bought two) on because they were wider than I expected. Anyway, excellent product. Just make sure you have room on top for the product.

Good product, secures the wheel very strongly if you properly adjust the quick release.

Will use with care

The wheel fork tire mount is okay. We love our Yakima roof rack and wanted to be able to store the tires up there as well as they get muddy quite often. The first problem was that the mounts have to go in between the two bike holders, meaning that I cannot put my wheel up there from the ground. Either I have to climb up the car or my boyfriend can reach. So placement was a bit of a problem, getting 2 bikes & 2 tires on top of a Saturn. They are also not lockable as far as I can see, so that's a risk. Lastly, they're not the most sturdy. We have them pretty tight but sometimes they slide backwards on the round bars. Yesterday that happened on the highway & the wheel came off & hit the car behind us. Luckily no damage or accidents, but needless to say I likely won't use it again on the highway unless I am 100% sure it's safe. Not sure if that was our faulty securing of the wheel or the product design, and I will use it for when I ride locally and get the bike muddy, but we are a lot more careful with it now.

No more muddy trunk space

By: Backcountry Reviewer - Cheatwood(67)

The perfect accessory to go with your Boa or similar bike mount. I don’t know about you, but I don’t really want my muddy tire inside my car with me…this is a totally secure way to store the dirty tire on the OUTSIDE of the car…where dirt really belongs! This thing even comes with an anti-spin device that helps eliminate the noise that comes when you don’t have one equipped!
