> [@rugsr](#): > > is it a PITA to put the bikes on and take them off the roof rack > i have a trunk mount and IMO it sux For me it is since I’m only 5’6", but I don’t feel like spending the money on a hitch mount that will only be used for a bike that i also have to buy another rack for. At least the roof bars can be used for a storage bin, kayaks, etc. Plus the trunk racks scratch the shit out of the paint. I def don’t want that. > [@NYstanger](#): > > You tell her no. I have to agree here. The only thing she should be talking about is which of the sandwiches she made before you left you would like. (Although these might be in cooler too.) ---

WAY BACK when, my family rented one of those GM mini vans that was rwd and looked like a toaster on wheels, whatever that one is called. It had a factory roof rack on it and it sounded like a tea kettle when they whistle. FUN FUN all the way to N.C… Even as a little guy Richard didn’t do well with things that annoyed him ---

I left just the bars on tonight going to dinner and I noticed a whistle for the first time, but its not that loud. I think I am going to buy a fork mount bike attachment, I hate how high this one sits. ---

Get a woven bungie cord and hook it at one end of the front tube, wrap it around like a candy cane to the other end and hook it. Bet that will remove 75% of the noise. ---

If you went with the SportRack brand roof rack, odds are it’s the same exact thing as a Thule rack. Sportrack is owned by Thule, and a lot of the parts are completely identical. I picked up the cheap Sportrack fork mount rack because it fit factory crossbars that were present on my Subaru. They work great with the exception that I needed to modify the front mounts by using nuts and cutting the length of the U-bolts to avoid issues with the brake mounts on my bike. ---

Bump - Any of you guys ride with an iPhone (or similar)? I just picked up a Trek2.1 and was thinking I’d like to use the iP4 GPS to track my rides.

If nothing seems to work well, then yes, I could get the Garmin. ---
