I figure it should add about another 10 lbs. of downforce to the rear.

Obscures the view out the back a bit, but heh! Can't see anything anyway because of the hi-rise wing.

So, what do you think?

 

LOL jesus. Hey if you want alot more downforce you can pay me to sit in the trunk.

 

 

Lolz. Jenious.

 

thats not mounted directly to the wing is it? i didn't think it could handle that weight

 

Brilliant!

 

Yessum!

Me be one SMART guy!

(must paint bike and bike rack blue now, to match car )

Nope, it goes on under the wing.

Can you say Adjustable downforce!

Umm. Bike sits there for FREE!

 

i for see a very scratched up rear end in the future...

 

rofl!

 

beats just having it stick out the trunk!

 

holy **** is that a HUFFY?!

 

Well, the 4 straps that secure the rack to the car have rubber tipped ends on them, and the 2 points on the rack that come into contact with the car have 2 large foam rubber pads on each piece.

As for the bike itself, I locate it at the upper end of the rack. It's a good 8-10 inches away from the body of the car, and is secured to the rack very tightly so that neither the frame nor the front wheel moves around.

I used it on my SRT-4 with no problem, so I should be good to go!

It's a hybrid Giant Option model (very similar to the Cypress model pictured below).



21 Speed, shocks for front fork and seat, moly tubing. Cost me like $300 new at a bike shop about 4 years ago.

I love it!

 

i couldnt even fit my bike in the trunk i had to "try" to shove it in the back seat and its only a bmx bike...

 

Try the bike rack!

It's quick, fairly inexpensive, and does no damage to your car.

 

TAKE IT OFF ANY SWEET JUMPS

 

The other day I ran over a penny in the road, went about 2 feet in the air ...

!!OUCH!!

 

I don't wanna break my wing off I don't trust it lol

 

You should rent a Rhincoerous and put er on there.

 

damn CC08... guess its time for a Carbon fiber adjustable super high rise universal wing.

 

It doesn't even touch the wing.

Very nice frank, I think I have the same bike rack in my basement. Did you go to the lock 7 bike path? I'm too lazy to hook the rack up to my car so I usually just ride my bike to the bike path and then back home, lol.

 

Your right, the wing is untouched by the rack. And any part of the rack that does comes into contact with the car has some form of rubber tip/pad on it.

For daily riding, I usually just ride from my home up into the hills of Rotterdam (only about 8 miles, but a vigorous 8 miles).

Yesterday I went with a group of people on the bike path starting in Niskayuna at Lyons Park. We went as far as Knowles Atomic Power Labs until a storm came up, and we high tailed it back just as it started to pour out (got in about 12 miles).

**Edit** I just thought about it again, and yes, the top of the rack presses slightly against the underside of the wing. But there's no real amount of pressure there, and I put a towel in between that area so that it doesn't rub on the wing.

 

im sorry but that just looks funny hanging off the back like that

 

I've got no other choice!

I can't see putting on a roof rack when, with the rear overhang type, I can just add/remove it at will.

 

does that mean everyone else could just add/remove at will also? or do you have to pop the trunk or something haha

 

Gotta pop the trunk to release the 4 plastic coated clips (1 at the end of each strap - 2 at top and 2 at bottom).

If someone really wanted to take it, I guess they could loosen up the straps (leaving them attached to the car) and then take the body of the rack itself.

But we're not talking about something that has the interest/value of an ipod.
