roof rack help

[trener1]

Check out Rocky Mounts, you will still have to get Thule or Yakima cross bars, but at least you will save some money on the actual bike trays, I use them, and they work well enough.

cant stand them

the Saris Bones racks. Difficult to fit the bike onto the hangers of that rack.

We just got a new car and i can't decide whether to get a hitch again for the new car and use my Thule T2 again, or to get a roof rack for this car instead. The Thule sidearm and bars would be like $170 while a hitch would probably be around $100, but I'm not sure I love the hitch like everyone else. I didn't have any problems with it in two years of use but I would think the roof rack would be more solid (a 1.25" hitch rack rocks back and forth a little).

Its only $170 for crossbars and a Sidearm... really?

Remember, you need the fit kit and the feet as well.

Too true...This rack bites. I got the Bones3 and its a total pain in the ass to get bikes to fit on it, esp full suspension.uke:

Good to know about the bones, maybe I will have the guys at beachwood bikes install the rack for the first time and set the bike up before I leave the lot... I am not a big fan of installing a hitch on my car.

BTW- Anyone looking to sell a bones 2 or 3?
