The bar bounces around and is a little noisy.

My favortie rack for MTBs, it fits everything!
This rack fits everything from QR to DH bikes and it very easy to swap between inserts. Its very solid and quiet, I'm very happy with them. I have them mounted to yakima wispbars.

Can't find question
I have the jet, dual racks. I want to go to switchhitter on one side for my 12mm through axle cross bike. Can I use same lock core from my jet?

Versatile and low-profile
At first I was second-guessing this purchase when the LBS guy told me this was the one to get. Why would I need all the options for the front fork mount when all road bikes use QR? Turns out I ended up buying a new road bike with disc brakes that used a 12mm thru-axle, and the genius of this rack was thus revealed. I also appreciated all the color choices (went with white to match the car), and the built-in lock. The whole thing has a very clean design (especially without the QR lever hanging out) and I have no problem keeping it mounted. The only thing that annoyed me was the "rockymounts" sticker, which didn't want to lay flat or come off. With some Goo-Gone and elbow grease it ceased to be a problem.

Wonderful product.
Great customer service (Rod from RM talked with me for about 15 minutes to help me figure out if this rack was best for my needs) and extremely impressive build quality. I'm going to keep trying to sell my friends on RM's products. Pretty darn good stuff.

Perfect rack for the multi discipline cyclest
I have the issue of running a QR road bike and 15x110 mountain bike. This product meets my needs perfectly, I can switch between the two axle sizes with minimal labor. It also fits perfectly on my Subaru factory cross bars! Just wish it had more colors.

Great rack! Just what I need
I bought two white Switch hitter bike racks from their Boulder store. Very friendly staff, and quick installation. These racks are very aerodynamic on my Thule roof rack, I don't notice any whistle sound or MPG drop when driving. Bike mounting is simple. My car has pretty stiff suspension, a good fork mount like this helps keeping the center of gravity low, and it helps keeping my bike stable.
