Disappointing | |
| Rating: |  |
| I'm normally a Yakima fan, but this was a disappointing effort by them. First off, the "one-handed" adjustment on the skewer is not easy to use. The skewer on the previous version of the Viper was worlds better. I'd go so far as to say that the skewer on the previous version of the Copperhead (no frills quick release, like the one on your bike) is superior to what is currently offered on the Viper. Second, even with all the effort required to use the adjustment on the skewer, it had a tendency to loosen its grip on my bike while driving on bumpy gravel roads, even at speeds as low as 10 mph. The final and most inexplicable shortfall of adjustment for the skewer was that the diameter is so large that it does not clear the bottom of my bike's fork leg. The fork actually has to move up to accommodate the adjustment mechanism of the skewer, which results in a skewer that isn't fully seated in the fork dropouts and an adjustment mechanism that is rubbing against the bottom of the fork leg. Of my three complaints, this is the most baffling. I ride a 2003 Fox Float F80 RLT fork, which has pretty standard size fork legs. How Yakima designed a skewer that isn't fully compatible with this fork size is beyond me. One of my more disappointing purchases. I will be returning this. | |
