Question:
Im looking for one rooftop bike carrier where I dont have to remove the front wheel and will integrate with OEM vehicle roof racks that can carry all tire sizes including fat tires so I can stop buying and changing out adapters to my existing fork mount carrier. I ride, 26, 29inch mid-fat and fat tires. I see that Yakima has the Frontloader wheel mount but Im not sure that would fit a true 4.8inch fat tire.

The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 will only fit tire sizes up to 2-1/2 inches wide, but I may have a solution for you.
The Rhino-Rack Hybrid # RRRBC050-FB is a wheel mount bike for fat bikes. It can fit 20 to 29 inch bikes. It is large enough to hold a fat bike but the straps will tighten around the wheels of mountain and road bikes as well.
