With mountain bikes, things get messy REAL quick though. Even with blankets. I love my bike rack though, it’s so easy to load/unload and the car stays squeaky clean. ---

With the windows shut, I can barely hear it. Vent the sunroof and its so loud. I bought the sport rack sooo I gotta see if they make the deflector for it. ---

Ahhh, got ya My rack is a Yakima, and the bars are round. So they howl similar to if you blow into the top of a beer bottle. It was REALLY annoying. ---

I got the bars and bike attachment for $230 shipped to my door. I couldn’t go wrong with it at that price considering I couldn’t even pick up Thule or Yakima bars for less than that. ---

> [@NYstanger](#): > > Couldn’t you just pull the pin from the hitch and yank the whole thing off in 30 seconds? What if I’m on a roadtrip and the wifey needs a drink from the cooler in the trunk or something? It’s just pure convenience. Having the bike on the roof, plus the ability to strap other items to the roof in the future was a huge benefit. We went to charlotte last weekend. Brought my bike and was also able to strap a fold up dog crate to the other side of the rack, since it wouldn’t fit in the car with 2 dogs and luggage. If I needed extra roadtrip storage space, I could get one of those roof rack containers and put shit in that. The list of possibilities goes on and on. Not to mention, it would cost another couple hundred to put a hitch on the car. ---
