Default Yakima or Thule or Audi.

Hello Aworlders..Its been a long *** time since I've posted for some advice, but the summer has been a wild/crazy one. Just bought a mountainbike three weeks ago and now i'm looking for a roof rack, preferably a dual. Any suggestions for the best bike rack out there and for where to find the best deals?

Thanks again for the advice.

Nothing but good things to say about the Yakima rack I had on my A4 paired up with a set of SteelHead fork-mount bike trays.

I purchased most of the rack from a local bike shop, but recently purchased some new adapters to use the rack on my Avant. I bought them from Agee Bike (see link below). They had cheap prices and the shipping was free (no sales tax either). Plus they give you money back that you can apply towards other products.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ageebike.com/">Agee Bikes</a></li></ul>
