Bike Rack

And so it begins... the great mountain bike accessory hunt, now that Justin and I have mountain bikes (Gary Fisher Tassajara's).

Justin's sort of got a system for his F-150 pickup, though we may return it and go with a tow hitch mounted rack. Me, I thought I'd just throw the bike into the back of my sedan ('92 Corolla), and that works passably well but I'm already scratching up my new bike (it'll happen... not such a big deal) and my car (bigger deal, since despite my car's age, she's immaculate inside and out). Also, I've already tweaked the seat height and brake alignment accidentally while transiting the bike in and out of the car, or so it seems to me after 3 rides (seat height was way off on this evening's ride, despite being set by the BikeWorld folks and feeling great on Sunday's short ride).

So... seeking a sedan rack that won't mar my bike or my sedan's trunk lid and bumper (scratches, etc.). Ease of use taking it on and off would be a plus. Don't care if I have to take the front wheel off or not. I have that down pretty well already, now!
