Good Deal on a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack

Bike Nashbar has just placed the Saris T-Rax Bike rack on sale at:

This is similar to the more expensive "Bat" rack, but in some ways is nicer, in that the horizontal arms fold down when not in use. It also can carry 4 bikes without additions, and requires no extension to clear the spare tire if you have a Putnam hitch. (I don't know about others.) At $129, it's a great deal. As most of you who have shopped recently know, hitch mounted racks with 1 1/4" receivers rarely are built for 4 bikes--this one is.

One more caveat: Bikes must have a top tube or a "bike Beam" to properly fit. If you have a bike with weird geometry, the new "Bat" series would likely be better.

You can see many of these racks in the CR-Vix, just click the link at the top of this screen.
