  • BlockHead has a non-locking skewer
  • Corrosion-resistant anodized black aluminum

They Work

Rating:*****

This simple design will allow you to make your own rack system for your bike. I bolted these directly to the panels of my Chevy Avalanche. They are super strong, hold up to weather and most importantly lock.

I read the comment below about being able to remove the other side with pliers...although I have not tried it, I cannot imagine being able to remove it with ease. Let's face it, given enough time and the right tools, no lock is safe.

Locking Blockhead Mount

Rating:****

Well made, just like all Yakima products. Only complaint is the locking mechanism. It only locks the release lever. The other end of the skewer could easily be removed with some pliers. It is better than no lock, but more theft resistance would be a plus. I think If I got them again I would save the 10.00 and get non locking and a good cable and lock.

"Get it."

I just got mine in yesterday it's awesome! I've got a new Xterra and the back cargo floor is removable, so I just took it out, bolted this in, and voila, I've got an internal bike rack for the X. I actually ordered 2 of these, one for each side. Keeps bike out of hot sun, rain, and bad people.

Got the lockless unit and attached it to a 1x6 instead of drilling holes in the truck or tool box. Bike sits out of the wind, no bugs either!

Works Great. I have it drilled into the back of my truck bed and it holds the bike very secure.
