Almost as hot as the issue of which wax to use. We have a 2000 Gary Fisher wagon. So far I have used the top rack for two bikes and a rhode gear rack on the tailgate. I hate the tailgate rack. There is no lip to hook the j clip to, I hate having anything touching the car finish and its very inconvenient. You cant open the tailgate and if you have the wiprs on and back up, the wiper gets stuck and you risk a wiper motor issue. The roof rack is great, but not for my wife who is shortand has a very tough time getting the bikes up and down. We just had a hitch put on (not a saab)and Im going to borrow a hitch rack to see if I like it. There are disadvantages to these but it seems like the best option for us. I like the rhode gear aluminum system the best. It's all a personal thing. Look around and see what works best for you. I need to carry four bikes so Im limited in options.
