I also will be on the lookout for cross rails. I don’t want the type that are straight and hang over. I would like the type that fit directly into the side rails.
I took some time out tonigjt to put the cross bars on I like the Kona badge they put on and the bars fit great ..... Here are the pictures . I also put my roof basket on top of the crossbars to see how it looks however I might get a powder-coated high gloss black !
Very nice! What percent tint do you have on your windows?
20 % on the rear and sides and 12 % on the front ! .... Going to have my front windows ceramic this week !
Where can I find the actual side bars, not the cross ones. Thanks!
Everything has held up fine and secure, but we haven't really used them since august (car was in the shop for 40 days after getting hit). I actually expected more noise from the rack(s) but it's only occasionally noticeable, typically when in cross-winds. Only "complaint" is that, even at 6'2", it's a bit of a struggle for me to get the bike in and out of the securing arm. I bought a folding step-stool that should help but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. We'll see how it goes next spring, but eventually I might end up swapping out the bike-trays to a fork-lock model just for ease of loading. No regrets about the purchase though. Crossbars are solid.
Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Hope everyone was okay! Thanks for the info, I’m just interested in the racks for now. Might have to give these ones a try
Hi I saw similar or same crossbar on Amazon and wondering if I should buy. So does your crossbar have wind noise while driving? In general, any comment or reviews? Thanks!
While the High Road isn't a traditional fork mount it is essentially the same setup - solution, mount it backwards. It is the only solution I could find that allowed for roof mounting that worked and allowed full access to the hatch. I occasionally still use the roof but it was easier to have a hitch installed and go with a hitch mount carrier. I have said this before, regardless of how you want to do it - REI member garage sale is the way to do it. They have them almost monthly and there are always bike racks/carriers/mounts - most of the time they are new or like new.
