we spent this past weekend up in NH and brought our bikes. 3.5-4 hours each way, i'd say the racks are thoroughly tested and i'm very pleased. here are some pics:

one of the spots we biked by:


so, if you're looking for a good strong fork-mount rack, that will mount to your factory crossbars, i recommend rockymounts. not only do they work, imo they look good, and the quality is awesome.

these also ended up being much cheaper than going with thule or yakima.

these cost me just about $200 even for the two bike racks, a disk brake adapter, and a pair of locks for the fork-mounts. depending on your crossbars, longer mounting bolts may be required.

anyway, good shit.
