Yakima Copperhead Bike Mount - 2007 BCS

Fast and efficient, and holds the bikes securely. What more do you really want? I used to own two, but recently switched to the King Cobra so I wouldn't have to take off the front wheel. Just make sure to grease the skewer every now and then to keep it turning smooth.

This is a nice no-frills rack. It hold a bike securely. I've had a pair of them for about 5 years, and have used them regularly with no complaint. I did leave them on my car one winter (in the northeast), and they did rust shut. I had to use pliers & WD40 to get the skewer out... but even after that endeavor, it's serving me well! Works great for a mountain bike, but my road bike tires are small and it doesn't clamp all the way down on them. I use an old rag/sock stuffed in the tray to make it work. Not sure if other bike carrying options have the same problem, but I like to have the tire clamped securely. Not a perfect rack, but for the money, it's a good option.

The Copperhead camming devise is a much improved over older Yakima skewer retainers. Remember to use some headset grease on the threads when you install it to keep the rust away.

Good bike tray holder. Easy on and off. Mounts to square or round bars, fit on my Thule bars with no problem.

So far, no problems. Will update if do.

Well built, highly versitile and very easy to install - much more economical than thule.

Living in the Northwest, I've had one of my copperheads skewing brackets rust over and lock up on my. It took some serious lubrication and torque to unfreeze it and get it working again. I might suggest pulling it off your rack if you are going more than a week without using it.

Great bike holder! Holds my road bike nice and secure and is easy to use. Unfortunately, while I was clamping the forks in, I snapped one of the keys in half (but I think it's more the user than the equipment!). I'd like to see a tougher rear wheel ratchet strap and less Yakima stickers all over the rig, but, overall, it's great!

So far, the Yakima system I put together from 3 different suppliers has worked just fine. I bought most components from this site as was pleased with the price. The system is fairly easy to setup and feels sturdy enough to not worry about putting my new Cannondale on. I certainly would purchase this whole setup again.

Hello. I am glad I found BackcountryStore.com and the Yakima Copperhead mount. My local retailer said the Copperhead mount was being phased out and that is what I had set my mind on. I found BCS via a YAHOO search and found the mounts there. When I got the mounts I installed them to my system very easily and hauled my Trek and a friends Bianchi to the starting point of our weekly ride. The mounts worked flawlessly and I look forward to dealing with BackcountryStore.com in the future.

Nice quality. Easy to attach. Bit tricky to get bike into skewer due to the rebound speed adjustment knob on the bottom of the shock.

Shipping was fast and the Copperhead works great for me. Holds bikes firmly, I'm very pleased.

The Copperhead is a sturdy and easy to use bike mount. Highly recommended!!

The Copperhead does everything I need it to do. I haul my bike to trailheads all over the Wasatch Front and Back flawlessly, day after day. One complaint, small, but still: At highway speeds the bikes can get a little shake going...I'm not afraid of them falling off, and it doesn't damage the bikes in any way - but watching a car drive down the road with a 2000 dollar bike on their roof shaking to the wind is a little sketch. I ain't skerd though. Great rack for the price.
