Is the SportRack A30901 Hitch Rack a Good Choice?


Customer Question:

I've been looking at racks for 2 bikes and want to know if the SportRack A30901 is a good choice. I like the ease of loading involved.

Racks for All Response:

The SportRack A30901 is an excellent choice. It fits all sizes of bikes and frames. The ordering link is here.

A locking hitch pin that works well with the rack can be found here.

Locks are not included for the bikes, but we recommend this cable lock.


Roof Rack for a 2009 Nissan Rogue



Customer Question:

I have a Nissan Rogue 2009, no roof rails. I want to install a rack for carrying 2 kayaks. Do you have one available?






Racks for All Fit Recommendation:


Yakima has a nice fit for your Nissan Rogue:


Qty: x 1



Yakima 58 inch Roundbars


Qty: x 1



Yakima Q34 Clips


Qty: x 1



Yakima Fairing 44"


Qty: x 1



Yakima HullRaiser Aero w/tie down


Qty: x 1


I have suggested two of the mid range kayak racks from Yakima which include bow and stern tie downs. Please note that the fairing is optional but cuts down on wind noise.
Note that all of the Yakima products will work with this base rack system, you can shop for accessories from this starting point.

Thule system for 2007 Honda Pilot



Customer Fit Request:


Make: Honda
Model: Pilot
Year: 2007
vehicle already has a factory rack installed.

I have Thule roof rack systems that fit an 85 Honda Prelude and an 03 Toyota Trecel wagon. I don’t have either vehicle any longer, but I have the racks. Will either of these fit my 07 Honda Pilot? Can I get an adapter for either one to fit my Honda?


Racks for All Recommendation:


Here is what Thule suggests for your 07 Pilot:



Thule Crossroad Railing Pack

Qty: x 1

Thule 58 inch Load Bars (1 Pair)

Qty: x 1

Thule Lock Cylinders (4 Pack)

Qty: x 1

Thule Fairing 871XT (Medium)

Qty: x 1

The locks and fairing are optional. If you have 58 inch square bars already, you simply need the THU_450 to mount to your factory racks. If your bars are 50 inches, you’re out of luck.


Note that all of the Thule products will work with this base rack system, you can shop for accessories from this starting point.

Kayak Racks for GMC Yukon Denali



Customer Fit Request:

I don't want top of line as this is purely recreational but I do not want something so cheesy it breaks after one - two summers use.




  • GMC Yukon Denali
  • (2) Kayaks.
  • Roller assist or whatever else you recommend
  • Easy to use loading, removing, tie down.

Racks for All Recommendation:

I would recommend one of two solutions from Malone Auto Racks to work with your Yakima base racks:















with QTY 2 Autoloaders:



















OR

QTY 2 of this combination:


Seawing/Stinger Combination (very popular)















OR the Yakima solution:

Showboat:


















which will require extra 66 inch crossbars plus two kayak racks, recommend 2 of the Yakima BowDown.

Bike Rack for 2008 Mini Cooper

Customer Fit Request:

I would like to check into my options for a bike rack for a 2008 Mini Cooper S. I would prefer a roof rack.

I already have Yakima cross bars (50", not sure if it's ok to cut them
shorter) and a couple of Lockjaws that I would like to use if possible.

I will be carrying a Trek 1200 and a Felt Z80 bike.


Racks for All Recommendation:


Yakima doesn’t show a good fit for your Mini. Thule has the following custom fit:

Thule Fairing 871XT (Medium)

Qty: x 1


Thule Lock Cylinders (6 Pack)


Qty: x 1



Thule Aero Foot Pack


Qty: x 1



Thule 50 Inch Load Bars (1 Pair)


Qty: x 1



Thule Prologue


Qty: x 2



Thule Fit Kit 2145


Qty: x 1


I added quantity 2 of the Thule Prologue, a very popular fork mount bike rack.


Please note that the fairing is optional but cuts down on wind noise, and locks are completely optional. Note that all of the Thule products will work with this base rack system, you can shop for accessories from this starting point.
