370.0. "Bike Rack for an S10-Blazer?" by ARMORY::MIKELISJ (Just browsing through time...) Tue Jun 30 1987 13:26

Does anyone know if a bike rack for two bikes is available
for attachment to the rear of an S-10 Blazer?

    Call Bike Nashbar, the mail order guys at 1-800-345-BIKE.  They
    have racks for almost everything.

370.2Try the Bean Bible...VIDEO::LEMIRETime o'your life, eh kid?Tue Jun 30 1987 14:0617
	I'm not sure about an S-10 but I have a Jeep Cherokee (similar)
    and I bought a rack out of the L.L. Bean catalog which suits my
    purposes just fine.  It hooks to the topof the rear door (I'm not
    sure if the Blazer has the right kind of door for this) and under
    the bumper.
    	If you or anyone decides on this rack, I have a tip.  I thought
    that the extra long straps (which are supposed to be used to tie
    down the bikes) were bush league so I made some custom straps from
    nylon webbing and velcro.  I was rather impressed with myself until
    I looked through the latest Nashbar catalog and found almost the
    same thing (actually theirs were better -> made with elactic and
    velcro) called "pant leg straps" or some such thing.  And at a fraction
    of what it cost me to make my own!  
    
    Good luck!

    Re: Bike Nashbar
    I just looked at my most recent catalog - they show a rack (for two?)
    that fits IN the bed, not on the back.
370.4Back or Bumper mount...MOSAIC::WASSERJohn A. WasserWed Jul 01 1987 10:067
	A regular trunk-mount rack (see "Adjust-A-Porter III" for $21.74 
	in Nashbar catalog #49) should fit on the back of most vehicles.  
	All it would need would be an edge put a hook over.  

	An alternative is a bumper-mount rack (see "Bac-Rac-Plus III"
	for $27.20 in Nashbar catalog #49).
