Bike rack?
 

Any one have a bike rack for the time of there car, for a b5. I need to get one before like springs, which is soon, and im not sure of what kind to get. THe only ones I know of are Thule and they are expensive! Any other products let me know. Thanks

There's a member around here that gives discounts on Thule racks. If you do a search, you might be able to find them.

Alright thanks, if you by chance remember his name please let me know, thanks.

Go Yakima. Slightly cheaper and better build quality IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

I looked at both Yakima and Thule... I ended up with Saris. I think Saris make the nicest racks out there! So sleek... so simple!

Headshok, where can i look at saris? do they have an online site?

I ... gave you an online site man... :) Sarisproducts.com -- look above! :P As for where to buy it... just use google.
They have self centering feet, the nicest looking load bars in the business... and are rock bloody solid on the car. I mean, thule and yakima are amazing racks, too... they just don't LOOK as good as Saris -- and don't function any better, if you ask me.
The ONE area where Saris lacks... in my opinion... is their UPRIGHT bike attachments. Thule makes the best upright bike rack... but if you can, use fork mounted ones anyways, they are better than the best upright rack. I have a Cannondale w/ lefty fork... so the fork mount is not doable. :(

haha sorry about that headshok. I totally didnt see that link, but thank you

Haha, no problem man. I know I referred another guy from the forums to Saris... oscar3, I believe was his username... I think... unless I am getting people mixed up. He was really happy with his Saris rack, too!
Here are some pics... the load bars sit a full couple inches lower than Yakima and Thule... which makes it look way better... and as well as being lower, they are ovalized, and aerodynamic... so they look sweeeet. The pics don't show them terribly well, but whatever. :)
