Inno Racks Fork Lock Bike Mount

Inno Racks Fork Lock Bike Mount

Rating for this product: 5 August 20, 2007

I was searching far and wide for a fork bike mount that could go on the factory rack that came standard with my Subaru Outback. After using many different mounts from a variety of manufacturers over the years, I knew for a fact, that fork attachments are the most secure, has the least air resistance and actually easier to use once you get used to them. The Inno-RV mount goes directly on the factory rack, accomodating different shapes and sizes of crossbars. Its forward plate attachment is wider and more secure than comparable Yakima or Thule, and Inno's oversized lever is actually easier to adjust and lock than either of them. Overall quality appears top-notch and the box says "Made in Japan" for what it's worth. To top it off, the Inno mount is about about $40-50 cheaper than the "brand named" ones and unless proudly displaying Yakima or Thule is part of your outfitting you will be well advised to skip the expense of buying their racks (neither will let you use their fork mounts with a factory rack). Regarding installation, I found it best to take the front cross bar off and attach the front plate first, before putting the crossbar back on. As a suggestion, I wish the rear wheel strap had a clamping buckle, but that's really a nitpicking.
