Hey everyone, it's Evangeline right here at Etrailer. Today we have the Front Runner Pro bike rack. This is gonna be a wheel-on roof-mounted bike rack designed to fit onto your Front Runner roof rack. If you're looking for something that you don't have to remove the wheel of your bike and gives you a strong and stable fit as you drive and transport it around, this might be a good option for you. You're ready to go on all kinds of adventures with your Front Runner rack, and you wanna carry on some bikes. Now, for your Front Runner options, there's the Pro fork mount and the Pro wheel mount. And people tend to go with the wheel mount if they're looking for something that might be more difficult to set up the first time, but after that, it's much easier to load the bike on and take it off, because you don't have to remove that front wheel every time you wanna go for a ride. And this fits nicely within your Front Runner or on your Front Runner rack as long as you follow certain tips and tricks with getting everything set up. So in this video, we're gonna review that process. I'll give you some of my tips and tricks, and we'll also do a quick overview of how to get it all set up. This will work with pretty much any bike, whether you have a fat bike, a road bike, a mountain bike, even some of your heavy electric bikes, since this has a weight capacity of 55 pounds. Now, if you're wondering why would you ever lift 55 pounds onto your roof, that's most commonly seen when you use your Front Runner rack in a truck bed or something a little bit more accessible. Once you have everything set up, getting the bike up there is a pretty simple process. Now, that simplicity depends on the height of your vehicle and the height of yourself. So I have Matt here just to assist with that process. You just bring the bike up to the vehicle and focus on getting that front wheel into that basket. And then you set that rear tire onto your rear cradle. Then you secure the bike by pushing up on that bottom cradle and then tightening down that bottom cradle with the knob at the bottom. And then you secure that rear tire with the strap that tightens down. Now, you do have the option for your larger or wider tires to use a different bracket, but whichever you do use, you can ratchet it by lifting that lever up and down to get the most secure fit. Front Runner is cool in the way that they have different types of racks for it, different types of vehicles, and your adventure is a bit more customized that way. So for your options for using this bike rack, this will work on racks that have at least seven slats, whether they're the slim line or slim sport series. With that too, this is the ideal way of loading your bike up where you want it as close to the edge as possible, front wheel facing the driver's side. But depending on what other cargo you have, there is a little bit of versatility there. You can load this further towards the inside or further towards the outside as needed. And this is what the rack looks like with the bike off. Now, a lot of people just leave it in the down position, ready to put the bike back on, but if you're not going for a ride just yet and you wanna make this a bit more compact, that's an option too. Now, there is a middle clamp here that doesn't come into play until you need to store your rack on the roof. This is actually two parts, and I store the top part on that middle section just because I like to use this eye nut as a way to run my own cable lock. But that's just gonna be an extra feature here. What we're gonna do is we're gonna take this eye nut out, we're gonna move that washer, and then lift this top bracket up and put it off to the side. And then we're going to completely loosen our bottom cradle with this knob until that cradle goes all the way down to that bottom bracket. And then you can bring your top cradle in. Now, this cradle tends to have a bit of resistance to it. That's totally fine. Just give it a good little force. And then once this sets nicely on top of that bottom cradle, go ahead, grab your top bracket. This is gonna fit up and over, and secure again with that washer and eye nut that you just removed. And just like that, in typical Front Runner fashion, yes, there are a little bit more things you have to fiddle around with, but once you get everything in place, you have a super solid bike rack.
