Very good quality and functionality
I am very pleased with this product!
To give some context, this is my first bike rack so I cannot really compare the TieRod build quality against its direct competition (Yakima and Thule), but for the price paid I must say that I am happy that I decided to try Rocky Mounts.
The build quality and finish is very good: The head base seems to be made of metal (or a very sturdy metal-like composite - RackAttack and Backcountry advertise them as solid metal); the aluminum tray is very well made, especially the cut for the disc brake.
The rack fits perfectly on elliptical factory racks (I've a Subaru bar) and, according to some reviews, it will also fit on Yakima round and Thule square bars. It has a very sleek low profile head that seems stylish and aerodynamic.
The lock skewer is nice, it took me some time to first adjust it to my fork but once this one-time setting was done, locking the bike became simple and easy. It also secures my bike quite...

NIce but long
I tried to mount this on top of a Honda Pilot and it was too long. The hatch was inoperable even when the cross bars were mounted in the furthest forward position. Keep this in mind if ordering for a similar size vehicle. Other than that they seemed to be of high quality--much nicer than the Thule domestique that was more expensive but short enough to fit...too bad.
Amazing piece of innovation.
This thing took my heavy mountain bike on my Xterra from Irvine, CA to Portland Oregon and all the places in-between. It has been in the rain for months, and looks brand new. I believe it is powder coated. Not only is it durable, it works really great. I love it. Once this one goes (if it ever will) I look forward to more products from this manufacturer.
