Default tC2 Roof Racks??

Anyone know of any good roof racks that will work with the tC2's? I remember seeing a post about them a while back but it didnt really say if there was any or what would work or wouldn't.

If anyone knows of any that would be great im really interested in one.

Yakima makes them but it doesn't seem any others have jumped on board yet and created a fit kit. I know because I'm shopping them myself right now.

For bike? Depends on what kind of bike and how you plan to carry it. I have a Cannondale Flash 1 29er and there are 2 problems with that when it comes to bike racks: 1. Its a 29er, so the giant wheels give the bike leverage when the weight starts to throw around on top of the car. I need something really strong up top. And now 2. It's got a lefty fork, so if I go the fork mount route, I not only have to take the front caliper off to get the wheel off, but I also have to buy a special mount just to hold the fork on.

For these reasons I think I'm going to source out the "Highroller" as it seems to offer the most stability...but it's also the most expensive.

Then why do you need a roof rack? Skis and snowboards fit in the car and the roof has no real capacity to hold anything more than a bike or two.

If it's just for the hipster car trend of having one, save your pennies and put it into something actually cool like suspension or wheels.

Well seeing that I'm not a "hipster" I'm still very fond of the way they look and I won't have one till my wheels and suspension is put on the car.
