Bike Racks

It's an 80 mile round trip for me every Sunday to ride the mountain bike trails at Markham Park and I use a rack called Bones , which is made by Saris. I've never had any problems using it and I run 80 on the freeways getting there. I'll take a picture this Sunday while it's on the car and you can see how it fits ...

I use a SportRack bike rack. Well-made hook-shaped thing that holds four bikes.
It fits in the square receiver of my Class 1 trailer hitch. I like it because nothing ever touches the car. I remove the front wheels from the bikes for more ground clearance.

These are indestructable and great fit without scratching up the car!

OK , here's the pictures ... I use a piece of micro fiber cloth under each of the rubber feet. I also changed the side straps so they hook under the wheel well instead of the side of the trunk lid. As I said , I run 80-85mph and the bike doesn't move around at all ...

Any idea as to the cost? Would it fit a bike like this:

I got mine shortly after getting my car and that was almost 3 years ago so I don't remember exactly what I payed , but I think it was around $100 or a little less. The cost varies as to how many bikes it will hold , the red one above holds 3 bikes and cost a little more. As far a holding the bike you show , I think it probably would , but I can't say for sure. My cannondale is a full suspension too and I just put it on at an angle ...

Hope you have some insight!

Jason , mine sits dead center and on the flat surface , which is pretty solid so I don't get any dents. Are you putting the legs on the sloping surface , that may not be as solid ? I also put a piece of microfiber cloth under each foot , so there's no marring ...
