I seem to remember that the Saris platform rack did not tilt. Not interested in a rack that hangs my bikes. Am I mistaken? On Mon, Mar 30, 2020, 11:13 AM Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! < jonasandle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dave, Saris makes tilting racks that support bikes with fenders. And they > make a

Dave, Saris makes tilting racks that support bikes with fenders. And they make a long wheelbase bar for your Clem L! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

I'd buy a double 1-UP if I knew they could be adjusted to fit my Sam Hillborne and my wife's Clem L. Problem is--both have SKS fenders.Otherwise, what are my chances of obtaining a tilting rack for two bikes with fenders? Dave in Kansas -- You received this message because you are subscrib

I used to use a roof-mounted Thule system on my previous car (Tercel Wagon). I made it a rule to ALWAYS have the sunroof open when I had bikes above, to keep me mindful. It worked! Not ideal though as that car had no glass panel, so when the sunroof was open, any rain could come in. Now, we use a

yes, and it does look like at least so far there are no inexpensive hitches for your car. On Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 5:21:46 PM UTC-7, Tim Rogers wrote: > > Love my Clem L, but its long and heavy for car topping. My new Volvo v60 > CC has a very expensive trailer hitch option, so I'm going w

Dude, I've owned the 52cm version of that bike and I'd be in traction trying to put it on my also-not-tall Chevy Impala. I don't need to be injured before the ride starts! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

I've looked at Curt and other bolt-on solutions. Unfortunately, no one can confirm fitment for my car yet ... probably too new (2020). Both Volvo and Stealth make a retractable hitch for the V60, but they're very expensive and the car is just low enough for me to manage the lift. My car lives o

Tim's issue - referenced in "very expensive option" - may be that his car won't accept a standard U-Haul hitch. But I'm in the 'no roof' camp..maybe 20 years ago when I was a younger sharper man I would have put a reminder sticker on the dash and obeyed it, but now? No way, I'm going to forget t
