Good luck finding one on the cheap, Mine was stupid expensive, Not to mention the 40 dollar locking hitch pin and the 20 dollar lock cores you gotta buy to make it safe

i think a good deal on these things is hard to find... i sold a USED sportsworks 1 1/4 " transporter rack to a lt col in germany for 300 bucks... considering the shipping cost to europe he was pretty happy..

You're not gonna find a Thule 916 for cheap. I just got one at employee cost from my shop, and it was still damned expensive.

i would go for the thule (sportworks). they came up with the design, gotta support the original, especially now that it has been improved to be sturdier, have a locking feature, etc.

I've seen some on Ebay go for like $330 shipped. For me out of CA (saves sales tax) and the shipping price wasn't bad. $330 is alot less than any other site I've found so far...

I was hoping that for the 4th of July weekend they might have some of these (we pay the sales tax) sales going on. I know Performance does this every now and then. That'd make it worth it to pick one up locally vs. ordering it.

i don't know about those locking cores. can't someone just unhook the front wheel?
Yes with a QR wheel. The locks are meaningless.

Ralph you're probably not going to find a better price than at Agee's Bicycle in Richmond.

Sorry to say this Dart, but I would rather pay retail to Thule then purchase from the aformentioned local merchant.

Thanks!
