>>1536661>That’s not true, and often trunk racks can risk being so close your pedals scratch the carsure depends of the construction of rack but, if pedals are touching paint, just put an old underpant arround pedal and it's ok.
>they will slide and will tear off paint (even the cloth straps can after a while) if you turn hardthis is true, cant argue with that, but i dont give a fuck really about little scratchs.
>Plus any soft foam pushed against your car will eventually capture dirt underneath and become a grinding pastethis is true only if you carry the rack permanently attached to the car, which is rare. that's a difference compared to a hitch rack.
>I get that hitch racks can wobble in the receiver, but that causes no damage and arguably poses no risk anyways. My hitch rack has a tightening mechanism inside the hitch bar so it never wobbles. And it’s locked to my car with a steel thru-bolt, not easily cut cloth strapsof course there are good hitch racks, but i argue in other posts that for the same price levels, trunk raks are sturdier and reliable. maybe my opinion is built considering third world selection racks builders are sending here instead the second or first quality shit they are selling whereever the fuck your are writing from.
but i got the points you are saying. as i state, i was only discusing construction and attaching of rack. so obviously there more factors to consider when choosing racks.
>>1536674this, bikes can be extracted on stop signals or red lights from any rack,because of that you must put even a simple chain lock on rackto avoid it, but only while you are driving. if you park with bikes attached, GG in my country.
>>1536675shitpost.
>>1536686can you give us pic of your rack scheme and towbar?
>>1536790-do you have bike specific and quality tools?
-do you have time to put on that?
-do you have space or a dedicated place to assembly things comfy?
-do you have the knowledge to do it?
