Today on our 2011 Ford Focus, we'll be test fitting the RockyMounts TieRod Roof-Mounted
Bike Rack, product number RKY1014. Our vehicle is already equipped with the Akima Roof Rack
System and our bike rack already pre-assembled. We're ready to go ahead and fit it to the
vehicle. This is a very simple fit. We'll start by sliding the rubber-coated steel straps
on the head of the bike rack underneath the front bar. We'll then lower the rear mount
over the rear bar and secure it to the roof rack.
With our clamps tight, we can go ahead and replace the front head cover, and with that,
our bike rack is secure and we're ready to go ahead and load our bike. We'll need to
open up the front TieRod skewer and the rear tire clamp to prepare the rack to load the
bike. Now that our bike rack is ready to be loaded, we'll go ahead and set the bike up,
putting the fork into the skewer. With the front fork secure, we can then move to the
rear and tighten down the wheel clamp. And in just those few easy steps, our bike is
loaded, secured, and we're ready to hit on down the road.
