Default Thule T2 Rack

We are looking to buy a Thule T2 hitch rack (or the old
Sportworks version) to fit a 1 1/4" hitch. We would like the one that holds 2 bikes. Let me know if you have one you'd like to part with.

We have one at Switchback Cyclery.

Default Me too.

I want one as well. But since I want the 2" version I figured I wouldn't be hijacking the thread too much. My wife doesn't like me sticking bikes inside her 4-runner and is insisting I get a rack.

Thanks,

~Reed

Awesome...I will keep that in mind. We are hoping to find one used, though, as our first option.

Default I picked onea T2 after interbike and I love it .

Now I need to pick up the locks for it. I also picked up the extension so it can hold 4 bikes.
Its the coolest rack I have owned yet for bikes.
I had a Yakima in the past and I have a Yakima on he Chumba truck.

Now we just need to heal up so we can use it .

Yea, they look cool. We want one that has trays to hold the bike and that can be moved out of the way so we can access the back. The T2 fits the both in both cases.

Now I just need to find the best deal on one.

I recently got a thule @ performance bikes....and some of my parts were missing...so some advice, ask to have the box opened b4 leaving the store for sure! other then that, this being our 2nd hitch (the 1st was a schwin from target, HUGE MISTAKE!) i dont think that i've found a great hitch yet, thule is supposed to be a good brand, yet i believe that my hitch shakes too much, and the arms do not fold down!!! oh well, better then loading them into the pathfinder!

If you have used your receiver a lot towing things, the rack is going to shake a little more than others. The one we put on my wife's X-Terra hardly shakes at all. She has not towed anything so the reciever is not worn out.

We had this issue with one a while back at the shop. Call Thule and that was the first question they asked.
