Re: Best bike rack for an '03 9-5? Posted by davecl [Email] (#1994) [Profile/Gallery] (more from davecl) on Sun, 24 Nov 2013 09:20:13 In Reply to: Best bike rack for an '03 9-5?, Nemo, Sun, 6 May 2012 15:22:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
For years I've had the Saab roof bars on an Aero sedan and the Thule forkmount trays. I have three of them on the roof. I was always unsure about bikes on the roof, but I've taken as many as three on long drives, 250-350 miles at 75-80 with no problems I keep the front wheels carefully stored in the trunk. You need to check the tightness of the Saab roofbar mounts because they slowly loosen. I check every 100-150 miles on a long trip.
I also have a car with a trailer hitch rack, which is great, but once I was rear-ended at a toll plaza and it was bad for the bike.
