I use the fork mount most of the time, but when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to take the front wheel off I use the Bigmouth.

All in all happy with both trays. =)

Yeah that answers my question.

How long did you wait to get your Speedvagen? Or did you get it used?

Thule vs Yakima vs Inno
What rack will work best/safest? etc.


Let me know your opinions and experiences.


Thanks

thule blows, yakima is where its at. i got the yakima king cobras, have been using them for over 4 years with all my carbon bikes, no problems what so ever. whole bike up on the car is the way to go, not sure if they make the king kobra any more but this is what would be equaliviant to it. orsracksdirect.com is the best site too the "front loader"
what i am doing soon is gonna get a hitch mount, get worse mileage with a roof rack.
