My Sc is *my* only car and I need extra storage space for snowboards and such...

Does anyone have the Yakima rack on the sc? I am curious on how it would look and is it stable? Also would it be easy to remove and put back on?... I don't want to have the racks on my car unless I need to use them.

Also,

Do I need that Q Stretch kit or would the regular one be fine?

 

I don't snowboard, but I ski and Mt. Bike, and I can use my home-made bike rack for both my bike and skis- I would just use bungie cords to lash my skis to the rack. With a snowboard, you'd want to lash them horizontally, like a spoiler.

I'm sure you'd rather use a Yakima, but in case it doesn't work out, there are alternatives.

I just got one for the back of the car (Yakima bike rack). It was like 150 but works awesome and fits 3 bikes. The fit is decent although I keep the ***** tight so my P2 doesn't come flying off In a few months I plan on getting a more permanent roof rack by Yakima though. Go get one and take a picture for me

 

Sweet Bike! I have a Gary Fisher and a Cannondale...

Wonder how many more extreme bikers we have..

 

I've got my good old Mosh BMX bike, full race spec with Nuke Proofs, Ti Spokes, YESS forks, Everything Ti or Aluminum. SPD's and all on it I think it's about sub 20lbs.

Then I've got my Specialized P2 ('03), complete with 8 inch disk brakes (6 in the rears), 4 inches of travel from the Marzocchi bomber fork, chris king headset, Easton Carbon bars and seatpost. Lots of fun

 

This shows fitment, my friends S&M on the front and my P2 on the back.

 

I don't have the clips yet so I just placed the rack on top of the car to show you guys.

I will not be having my kit on when I have the rack on for sure.. Well whatever gets the job done! Good thing it is removeable.

I will post more when I have the thing on and my stock bumpers and wheels back on.


If anyone gets this, I highly recommend the Q Stretch kit..

the rack

the two loops you see are from the steelhead, used for bikes.

 

bump for more pictures...

anyone got one for sale let me know

 

wow a 6yr old thread bump lol... that rack actualy looks pretty good on the car

 

+1. It wasn't as bad as I thought from the thread title.

BTW...my friend sent me this link a few weeks ago. Bike racks don't look too bad, even on modded cars.

 

I want a bike rack for my car.

 

ha ha they are coming more and more common on cars now.
