Today on our 2000 Volkswagen Beetle, we'll be test fitting the RockyMounts Pitchfork
Roof Mounted Bike Carrier part # RKY0438. Now to begin our test fit, we'll simply place
the bike rack on top of our crossbars with the head of the bike rack directly over the
front crossbar. We can then use the clamp included with the bike rack to go underneath
the crossbar and using the Allen bolts will secure the clamp. With it loosely secure,
we'll move to our rear crossbar where we'll use the clamp included with the bike rack
to go around the crossbar and secure it with the wing nut. With the rear mount tight, we'll
move back to the head of the bike rack where we will finish tightening down our Allen bolts.
With that tight, we can reinstall our head cover and then install our front fork.
With the fork installed, we'll move to the rear wheel strap where we'll undo the strap
and make sure it's out of the way. We can then remove the front wheel from the bike
and place our bike on top of the bike rack. We'll place the fork of the bike into the
front fork of the bike rack and clamp it down. We'll move back to the rear wheel strap where
we'll put the strap through the wheel and secure it on the other side. And there you
have it, our bike is loaded and we're ready to hit the road.
