Bike Rack

[russtor01]

Thinking of purchasing the Lucid bike rack for my Air. Does anyone else have any experience installing and using the rack. Tried putting bike in trunk with the seats down but there was not enough clearance and without a hitch there is really no other options.

Thread 'Bike Mounts and Crossbars'

Nov 10, 2023

Context and General Issues:
Given the original crossbars are not available due to a number of us over torquing, rust without covers, cracking glass roofs, etc., I figure a few of us still got our hands on them. There is also a tendency to crumple the paint on the front and rear mounts interior mount side (pointed towards the middle of the car).

Lucid is reviewing other potential vendors and install design. Hopefully, they come out with something better in the future.

My Personal Experience:
Anyways, the crossbars are time consuming and difficult to mount. Alignment and juggling screws...

my road bike fits so easily with the front wheel off that I have yet to take my Lucid rack out of the box. Will need it for coming road trip to free up back seat,,,OR for a second bike if carpooling on local rides as stacking 2 inside with ft wheels off sounds messy.
Maybe I have a lazy streak?

I have the cross bars on my air touring. Using the yakima frontnloader. The anchors spun but this was resolved by service
