Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
It's really important to select the correct vehicle, paying attention to the year of the manufacture

Overview:
Yakima’s HighRoad is a truly versatile bike rack. It fits most cross bars and most bikes. The bike is held firmly by its front wheel (with the rack only touching the tyre), so it's ideal for anyone who doesn't want their carbon frames to be clamped, or anyone with bikes that won't fit on a frame-holder or fork-holder rack.

Yakima’s HighRoad is a truly versatile bike rack and fits virtually all cross bars. The bike is held firmly by its front wheel (with the rack only touching the tyre), so it's ideal for anyone who doesn't want their carbon frames or cables to be clamped, or anyone whose bottle holder is in the wrong place for a frame-holder carrier.
As well as being a favourite for those with carbon-framed bikes, it's also the ideal choice for anyone whose bikes have non-standard forks or disc brakes, the ones that won't fit in a fork-holder carrier.
It's quick and easy to install - no tools are required. Loading is effortless too, just roll your bike into the front wheel catcher and it will be held steady, hands free, while you make the final adjustments. Securing the bike is done at roof level so you don't need to reach too far up. The integrated TorqueRight™ knob quickly and easily secures the bike with precision; it clicks to let you know you've reached the correct tension. With most tyre-hold racks you have to pre-set the wheel holder to the size of the bike wheel. The HighRoad is self-adjusting, making it much easier if you don't always us it to carry the same bike.
Other features: - Takes wheels between 26” and 29”.
- Accommodates disc brakes, thru axles and full suspension frames.
- The adjustable rear wheel holder takes a range of wheel sizes from 1.75" to 3.25".
- Includes locks - an integrated cable lock secures your bike to the rack while another lock secures the rack to your roof bars.
- You can add your own D-lock to the integrated lock loop for additional bike security.
- The arms fold flat when you are not carrying a bike.
This carrier fits around bars up to 88mm wide by 44mm deep, so it will fit all our roof bars. Alternatively, adapters are also available that allow you to fit the rack to T-track aluminium bars using the T-track channel The carrier can be mounted either forward facing or rear facing, depending on the size of your car, to allow you to open the tailgate fully on shorter vehicles. It's also very simple to swap the bike from left to right-hand side mounting - all you need to do it turn the wheel strap around.

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
