First, Im new here and apologize if this subject has been talked about to death already. My search of "bike racks" in the search bar wasnt bringing up really relevant info

Im trying to find a good roof mounted bike rack system for my husband for Christmas. He's an avid road cyclist. We have a 2005 xB.

I know very little about car stuff, and even less about bike stuff, but enough to know that Im going to have to buy it online (no local sources) and then let my husband arrange to have it installed after Christmas.

Can anyone help me? Are there any good no-fail, sure to work systems that anyone can point me to? Where to buy from online? Does the type of bike make any difference? (his main is road bikes, but he does some mountain biking too)

Is there a thread I'm overlooking where this has already been hashed out?

you can go to any of the major manufacturers websites (thule, yakima, inno) and they will have a guide that you can use to see what parts you're going to need. After you do that, you can check out various sources to find the parts. I've used Amazon.com, and BikeNashbar.com

You can spec everything out at rackattack.com

I have a Yakima, 50" crossbars, 50" fairing and a Copperhead fork mount tray. I love it.
