Not too Shabby

By Joebob Ranked #1050 - Car Racks June 25, 2009

BC.com shipping and CS is great, had the rack here in less than 4 days. I wanted the T2 sidearm hitch rack but didn't want to deal with having a hitch put on the car. I have put 6 or 7 bikes on it and they all fit excellent and are very secure on top. I only have two issues with the setup; The sidearm rubs on my fox 40 so I need a piece of pipe insulation on the fork to keep it from getting scratched, the other is I had to dismantle and reassemble to get the arm on the outside of the rack. neither are that big of deal but I put the sidearm back together wrong and don't get full swing on the front. I also wish they could be popped off easily when not in use to reduce drag and bug stiction. I'll probably buy the T2 hitch rack just so my wife doesn't have to struggle to put her DH bike on the top of the Jetta.
