Friggen Bike Rack

The straps start at the middle of the tire in the picture and run to the bottom. There are no more tubes below the silver cross bar even though the pic kinda looks like it. You should be able to keep the soft cover on just fine. It will help protect your wheel from being scratched by the silver cross bar too. I don't think this rack will work with the hard tire covers though.

Hope that helps!

Thanks ... Been shopping on line for it and just spoke to the Mfg. It's there model # 3030.... Best price I can find is $98.00. Your link is $58.00 but they don't have on line sales. Can't seem to find that model in the Atlantic City Area..

Still searching... Any help appriciated..

Crap, I didn't realize you couldn't order online from them. Sorry about that. I have 2 stores near me in Dallas. I guess they are only in the south.

Yeah.. I called and left my name and number at customer service...Maybe they can ups me one. I figure the shipping would be about $11-$15 bucks.

I'm also trying to get one thru a Bike shop here in my area who carries the line. I'm waiting for a call back now. I tink this guy's gonna be high $$$.

OK, here is one for $64.99 + $12.99 shipping http://www.savannajones.com/products/92034_16_07.htm

The model # is different (Model 304ST) but according to MSN Shopping they are the same product.

"Fits nearly all externally mounted spare tires, including those with Over the Tire third brake lights. Fully assembled - sets-up and installs in seconds. Patented tie-down system individually secures and protects bicycles. Dimensions: 29 x 18 x 5 Product Instructions - Note 303D is the same as 304ST"

Thanks Dude..

I just got off the phone with a salesman from Academy Sports in Tenn. They have it in stock for the same price shown in your first link $58.99. I gave him my info and he's forwarding it to the shipping dept who will call me back and give me the total price with shipping.

Tenn is closer to me so the UPS charges I hope will be cheaper. So ..just gotta wait to hear from them.

Thanks for your help..
