Thanks for reminding me that Rocky Mounts exists. It’s so easy to forget about a brand when shopping.
Looking at their website, something like the West Slope or West Slope 3 is what I’m thinking, except with just the bare bars, and I’d add my own accessories.
Im kinda giving up on this idea and will probably get something like that or the KUAT Transfer.
Still, it seems like my thought process isn’t flawed. A hitch mounted modular system that allows the accessories of a roof rack, just without a step ladder. And also made to the quality of the actual bike rack companies, not some weird rack from Amazon.
