Saris Cycle On with the add on would give you flexibility in size with a super
secure mounting. I've seen it in use and its bike mounting me
I really appreciate all the suggestions!
Ray, the link to risers was much appreciated as was the link to the Transit
racks at Performance. Those are half the price of comparable Yakima product
through REI. Though I have high praise for Yakima and REI for always standing

Is that like the Golf Plus I've seen in Germany?
Will it fit 8 foot 2x4s?? My Rondo can, just lay the back seats and front

Tony,
We may have to discuss this further!
Will the Saluki be ready for a ride this weekend? Saturday and Sunday look to

ride this weekend.
Thanks,
Erl

Apologies if this has been discussed in a thread missed by my addled brain and
weary eyes.
