Re: [RBW] Rack recommendation
i use a roof-mounted Thule and a Rockymounts (not sure the models--they're similar--both of the wheels stay on the bikes) on a Subaru Outback. I am not 100% confident in either of them, though I do prefer the Rockymounts. The Thule arm over the front wheel tends to slip, and I end up nervously eyeing the bikes thru the sunroof while I'm ripping down the expressway. We just returned from a drive to Maine and back, and I am now very seriously considering installing a hitch and getting a trunk rack--the type where the bikes are secured by the wheels, not the frame. Seems to me the bikes would be equally, if not more, secure, and subjected to far less wind whippage as well. (I read on this board that headset grease can blowout at highway speeds, which seems like it wouldn't happen on the trunk). I'd welcome any input from folks with experience using hitch racks. paul takoma park, md. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Rack recommendation
Hi everyone, My wife and I need a bike rack for her 2020 Honda Fit. I'm assuming the best/most secure racks are roof-mounted. Please post your opinions, pros and cons, experiences, etc. What do you folks use and recommend? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
