Bike Rack Options? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

hosfordryan · 04-14-2019, 08:39 PM

I'm looking at getting a bike rack and it seems like the SeaSucker is the best option but it is a little pricey ($300). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions that aren't so expensive.

I'd trust that to do two things, pull paint off and leave your bike on the road under a truck.
Edit: Three things, tear up your car trying to get the bike in the rack.

those do have a following the road bike community, a lot of high end car owners use them.

but i don't like the concept of my heavy mountain bike being supported by my rear glass.

gotta remember that most road bikes weigh around -5 pounds, so it's inconsequential. where my mountain bike weighs somewhere around that of a toddler. and i don't put toddler's on my car.

If you have a quickly removable front wheel, bikes will fit in the trunk.

Does anyone have any experience with the hitch that Uhaul sells?

soundman98 · 04-15-2019, 10:29 PM

i've looked at it. i don't like how it hangs below the rear bumper.

Jesse36m3 · 04-15-2019, 10:33 PM

I've used the Seasucker for years and it has never once come loose. Drove for hours and it was fine. Just keep it under 70mph.

I will warn you, however, it will leave a nice crease in your roof. Oh well.

I have the curt hidden hitch...only thing visible is the square tube right under the triangle light. I use a saris hitch rack. I use a rubber cover to hide it a little when not in use. While its not aesthetically pleasing, its function is worth way more to me.
