How's it going Azine,
I've been looking for a roof rack to carry around my 20" Bike this spring and summer but I've been having trouble finding what I need. This will also be my first roof rack and I'm not familiar with them so sorry for the stupid questions.
I've been looking on craigslist for a used setup and I went on both thule and yakima to find out what feet I need (Yakima: "Q Towers 4 pack Q116 front clips Q112 rear" Thule: "Traverse Pack 480") But I'm not sure if I need specific size bars so they don't stick out too far, also with mounting the bike I need an attachment that would support it upright, without taking the front wheel off.Also I'm looking for a fairing, I really don't want one that would be mounted on my sunroof, rendering it useless because I saw in many forums this was an issue people were afraid of.
In short;

In short;
- Would the above feet work on my car if I bought them used?
- What size bars would I need?
- What size fairing would I need?
- Should I just buy this used and piece the rest together later? Thule 480 traverse roof rack system
