Well, unfortunately still confused.

I thought that I was settled between the Softride and Thule standard tube hung models, but so many of you highly recommended a skid mount model that I have been questioning that decision. I really need the ability to carry 4 bikes (wife and kids). I really did not want to spend $5-600 which is what you end up doing with Sportworks, Hollywood or Saris.

The only thing that I could find that will hold 4, is hitch mountable, uses the skid type configuration and is under about $300 is one by Performance [/URL] http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_ID=4411 for $200.

I am a little concerned though as it looks kind of light. Any other thoughts?

I Appreciate the help.
