i've run yakima king cobras (now called high roads) for years with heavy endoro and dh bikes with zero issues. you can also get oneup trays for roof racks.

How are Thule ones that strap back wheel and drop clamp front
Thule Upride?

I have one and I like it. It's easy to adjust it for different wheel sizes and hold the bike quite well without touching the frame.

I find it is a bit of a PITA to install, so I put it on at the beginning of the biking season and take if off just before the snow arrives. When you want to store it, it's preferable not to just throw it in the shed, as I think there is a risk of loosing the clamps. When I store the rack, I always close the clamps on foam tubes to make sure I don't loose them. Maybe it's overkill to do so, but I'd hate to have to seach for one of these clamps just before a ride.

Basically, it's not perfect, but I'd still buy it again as a complement to my Thule T2 hitch rack.

Lmao....there is a crap ton of room in a Prius the back if you take front wheel off drop rear seats 2 bikes go in...
Has more room than my Tacoma or wife's honda..

This is a no shit thing...myself includes get irritated with some Prius owners ..so not the first time but had a guy who was driving like an asshole follow me into a store parking lot....parked behind Prius after yelling a bunch now mind you 1 I was in slow lane chilling out, 2 he got behind me.

I let him rant a bunch them decided to get out of car and see why he was excited...never found out why he was so uppity he took off...

But I did get my groceries and didn't really care about his BS ..LOL

How do you even fit in a Prius??
The secret is in the exhale and cooking oil used....with the right flow I can slide in like a snail in a shell....it's rather majestic like a discovery channel cool..lol


In all reality if the seat is back I literally fall in and have to move it forward....it's like a magic hat... All sorts of shit will fit all up in it...lol
