Opinions on Bike racks

So I haven't been riding for a bit since I got the G. I ran an old school Thule rack with square bars to carry my bike before. I am wondering if I should go with buying new "Feet" for the square tubes or go out and do the new aero bars. Do the new Aero bars make a huge difference on noise and fuel? Should I just go with a round bar? Or say F*** it and go with a hitch? I always felt that a nice roof rack looked great on the car anyways. Wondering on the Square, Round and Aero debate I guess.

IMO the Thule roof rack is a classic no matter the shape of the cross bars.

It always looks good and it's adaptive to what ever you need it for. Why get something else when you already have the perfect device.

I think your right. I could spend 400 bucks just to get Aero blades. I should just throw on the boxy 400's.

If your looking for a cheap alternative check out Sea Sucker! Although it doesnt provide the "bike rack look" aspect that you want to accomplish, It's a great product and relatively cheap. Whats nice is you can use it on basically any car. I did a full review on it if you want to check it out

Yeah I have seen them but I ride a Fat Bike and some of those these have weight limits. Either case I can't use what I have now. They don't make a fit kit for my older 400 Feet.

Ahh okay, thats the ones with huge balloon tires right lol? I dont believe one would work with that mount but you never know, you could always email them and ask!

I surprisingly stumbled upon it on Instagram. I saw their snowboard rack suctioned onto an Aventador lol. Instantly grabbed my attention. They make a lot of products, not just for bikes. Pretty cool concept if you ask me
