roof rack for 29er

hi,

I have the oem roof rack on my CMS.
Does anyone know if the oem touring cycle holder supports 29er bikes?

Also, has anyone installed a Thule Sidearm with the OEM roof rack?
I have a 17" Specialized 29er.

thanks,

I have the OEM bars and also 2 Thule sidearms mounted. We carry 2 different brands of 29ers with no issues.

I also have a Spesh 29er. I've got the OEM bars and a Rockymounts Europitchfork. If you have a thru axel, you will also need a DriveShaft adapter. I'm very happy with the setup, but if the Brass knuckles were available when I set mine up, I might have gone with that. Here are some photos of the setup: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-post1301.html

roof rack for 29er-image-1316697544.jpg Run a 1Up rack with the Cooper Crap 2" hitch mount. Love it. Have the Mini OE roof rack, but prefer this instead. Cleaner, no wind noise, etc.
