Bike Mounting Options
I have a pretty large Surco Safari rack on my xj, I had a bud tell me there was a cheap effective way to mount a bike up there with some type of block..maybe a skewer block. Any ideas what these are or how they would work....ive done some searching with little avail. let me know!

We used these on the front of a truck bed and they worked great. You can get them cheaper, just the first I found.

link not working.^
but i think this is what he means.
but i like the idea of the thule rack. but i have 20mm axles and this skewer mount won't work for me.

No, I don't lick fish.
you can get some with pre-drilled mounting holes... just bolt them to the very front of your rack on the inside on the floor.... they take up hardly any room... then you would have to worry about the block pivoting or moving free of the ratchet strap
I have two mounted on yakima round cross bar tubes... so i don't have to worry about that part.... works great though

Get one of the fork mounts for the front and a piece of C-channel for the back wheel strapping it down. Works great. Hell it works for Yakima and others. Now just need to find a 25mm fork mount for my 29er rigid bike.

29er is a great bike. rigid might be a bit harsh, but then again it has no suspension. Frame and truss fork flex giving it a more comfy ride over a standard straight bladed fork. Should get the frame back from fabrication next week I'm hoping as it has been a long time out.
