My Bianchi using Bmw crossbars and Bmw bike carrier works great

Hemmed and hawed at this decision.
It was down to the NV rack, T2 Pro and the Saris Superklamp.
Their superclamp was nice, but I figuered 2" overall would be better - less rattle, etc.
So that ruled them out.

Then Thule has issues mounting 2 fat bikes which sorta pushed me over the NV rack. I thought long and hard and figuered I've got at least a 6-7 year jump on the possibility of 2 fat bikes needing to sit on trays, so.......I ordered the T2 Pro.

ANYthing else I should order from abroad that I cannot get here ?

About to order a Hebie (german made double kickstand) from overseas...
Yes, there is the USRUS and Pletschner, but Hebie apparently is a much better built kickstand.

I'm within 20 miles of pretty much every trail I ride, so I went with a Yakima Ridgeback 4 for the quickness and ease of throwing my bike on and getting it off.

Folds up completely flat and hangs on the wall of my garage when not in use.

I'm running the 1UPUSA single rack. It's a modular design, so I can add additional racks if I need to carry more bikes (up to 3). It folds up and out of the way when not in use. I like that it doesn't touch the bike frame at all. Best of all, it's super light :thumbup:

I used to have the Yakima FrontLoader roofrack and had constant fears that I would run into my garage with the bike. Besides, it's a lot of work lifting a mountain bike (even a carbon bike) that high up - it's no fun after a 4 hour ride :rolleyes:

beaut ride DKL. And of course I knew it was bound to happen....you know how that goes, mod 1 thing and it all goes downhill from there.

When i dropped the roadie off at the ship to get a tune, I spied a Devinci that I must have ....well, probably after a bit more saddle time

More saddle time is always great ;)

Paging DKL -

Just curious. Got extra trays for the 1up. Looks like the consensus is for some , is to run with the single tray , and just have another 1 or 2 trays for standby..
