Roof Rack Q

what did you get again for a vehicle?
They just get upset when you try to go through with a bit on. Not sure why?
if it somehow gets fucked up by their machines they don't want people suing them / asking them to replace it.
I forgot the /s.
You got any experience with the suckers, yet? I am thinking about getting one, too.
none other than a test fit. Seems like a nice product, but the weather has been so shitty it's not really possible to ride. Either cold and snowy or raining and just warm enough to ruin trails.
It did hold tension overnight though, in my garage, so there's that.

I've bought mine off a pinkbiker a few moments ago. Gonna go on an old car that's not worth a roof / hitch rack investment.
no.no.noBump. (I hope not)
This is getting interesting.
Where were you riding? It's mushy AF out hereBump. (I hope not)

Got my first real use out of the seasucker. 2/5 stars. It held my ebike to the shop just fine, then it held my mtb to the trailhead just fine, but on the way back I couldn't get it to stick. No matter what I did, one cup just wouldn't hold a full vacuum, though it stuck to the car OK without. My daughter was on the verge of tears because it took me longer than 30 seconds, so I just went with it, and made it home safe.
The rack is otherwise OK, in terms of stability and installation, but I can't recommend it considering it failed 1/3 times I used it. Will continue to try before giving up entirely...not sure what happened.

and then it rejected my mountain bike?
I solved that problem by mostly driving "my wife's" RDX with the 1up rack.
If you are going to do a roof rack on a car with no gutters or roof rails do it right with either Thule or Yakima

she still seasuckin'
moving this up to a 3.62533/5. Seasucker was kind enough to send a replacement pump, for free, to me to replace a presumed faulty one. I swapped some parts around and now everything is holding the way it should. Have taken it up to 68mph with no issues. It is still the cleanest install possible. Not sure how I'll do the DH bike, but at least I can ride this or even my road bike wherever I want to now....
That car is stunning.

I am planning to go this route when you guys work out getting me a Porsche.
I've done a couple of drives with the suckers and it works quite well, still I'll never fully trust the damn thing.
where's your spring from?I've done a couple of drives with the suckers and it works quite well, still I'll never fully trust the damn thing.
PB classifieds special.
