+++1 for the 1 UP. I've had one for about a year and it's the best rack I've ever had. Rock solid with zero sway, and it only touches the wheels and can be configured for 1 - 4 bikes, with an add-on carrier for each one. That way the pieces can be added separately and individually don't weigh much (maybe 20# each). Kind of pricy but well worth it!
