bike racksHere are the racks I used.
The same ones are available on ebay I think. I read the reviews and they were good except cheap hardware, but in my case I did not need the hardware or at least most of it. The racks the tires fit in are pretty sturdy. Locks are a piece of******but I don't need them either. I through bolted the base where the arms that hold the bikes and the rails come together. ( Put spacers under the bracket so the bolts would not bend it when tightened ). Used 1 1/4 deck screws to hold the rails down. It is really solid. I would not want these on top of my car but mounted flat on plywood they are fine, at least for me. No need to spend mega bucks on high dollar racks IMO.
I could not find the stake brackets locally so had to wait on them, keep that in mind if you are doing the same. Be sure to get tapered ones.
Also, a critical point is to carefully trim the bottom of the 2x4 that fit in the brackets. I cut mine a little big and the sanded them to fit with a palm sander. They are really snug and the whole rack fits tight with little movement.
