Howdy, so in august of last year, my trusty rack finally kicked the bucket after years of service. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a new trunk rack that could support at least 1 DH bike, ideally 2 would be best. The rack's going on a '93 accord and needs to be of the trunk variety...any and all recommendations are appreciated!

My buddy used to have a Hollywood trunk rack. Most secure trunk rack I've seen but still kinda sketchy on bumpy roads. http://hollywoodracks.com/trunkRacks.html
the Saris Bones is also nice, but might not work for some frames
Yakima had a pretty cool trunk rack at inter bike, its like a t2. It's in interbike coverage somewhere.
What he said.
He can't use any of those North Shore racks.
What about a hitch?
why can't you use a roof rack?
I bought a Thule trunk rack off craigslist, it worked for it's intended purpose, but I really didn't love using it. I don't have a "downhill" bike, I have a Kona Coiler, dunno what it weighs, but with that and another bike on the rack I get pretty nervous. It works GREAT for carrying a BMX and my son's bike though. For fullsize mountain bikes I much prefer the idea of a roof rack or hitch rack.

Thule or Saris all day. I wouldn't recommend a hollywood rack ever. They may be less expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Agreed, I have $105 into 4 bars, 8 towers, 2 bike racks and two snowboard racks. All I need now is the right Qclips which sell for $20 a pair on ebay and I'll be money.
