I am about to get a new gravel bike that has a 12mm through axle for the wheels. My tri and road bikes are both rim brake, and I have two Thule racks that go on the roof that work fine for those bikes.
In the spring I got a Rockymounts Monorail hitch mount that can carry three bikes. The rear hitch mount rack will obviously work for the new gravel bike, but I'm wondering what roof mount is best? There are a few times a year where my family goes on a week+ trip and we generally bring as many bikes as we can fit - currently there are mountain bikes for myself, my wife & son, plus road/tri bikes. Having another roof option would allow us to bring six bikes.
From looking at options for the roof, the Rockmounts Switchhitter and the Kuat Trio are good choices. I'm also considering the upright options that keep the front wheel on.
Thanks in advance!!
