60-100 miles?! you're talking road biking right? If it's up the road I think it is that sounds like a hard ride. I didn't notice too much climbing in Chino Hills..but it's a huge park and I havent been very far yet.Originally Posted by ChromeSE5
I personally haven't been up there but the route my gf's dad takes is between 60 and 100 miles with, I think but not sure, 11% grade. They have a race up there called beautiful agony. As far as that ride through irvine, it took about 5 hours. We stopped at a lot of places including performance in Tustin. I want to ride chino hills as I have heard there is a lot of climbing. Im there every so often on saturdays or sundays. If I decide to ride out there one saturday morning, ill try to hit you up via PM or AIM.

Is that Yakima roof rack? Im about to buy either a Yakima or a Thule, since shoving the mtb in the truck is getting annoying and that leaves no place for the road bike. Can you take a few up close pictures of your maxima with it one and few front pictures?

Yup...it's a Yakima, great rack, never had a problem with it. I sold the rack awhile back, don't have any close up pics...but here's a few. It does reduce your gas mileage a large amount (I always got 100 miles less per tank than I did before the rack with the exact same commute).Originally Posted by tb2007

Thanks for the pictures of it with the rack on. Like I said Im about to get one and it will be a Yakima since you said you liked it. What size fairing did you use?

Also any reason why you choose the fork racks instead of like the highroller that holds the front wheel?
Chrome: If your looking at getting one, osr rack and rackattack and others have the yakima and thule racks 10% off and you get free locks with the yakimas right now.

What exactly did they rub? The K1s that is, just curious because Im considering running 245/40/18s. The wheels have a +35 offset...Im dropped on Tokico springs so around 1.5 inches.
I am loving the Altima rims the best so far...and am first in line for when he is selling them

Hmm I bought the entire rack (q-towers, crossbars, steelhead bike trays, SKS locks, wind fairing) for $330 shipped on eBay...used. Check your local craigslist for used racks too...I should have done that bc I found some good deals after I already got mine. The bikes def won't fall off or anything, they are locked down secure...if your suspension is firm and you hit bumpy pavement the bikes will sway side to side which can get unnerving though.Originally Posted by ChromeSE5

No problem, yeah you can't go wrong with Yakima or Thule...I think I got the 36" fairing...just build your rack on Yakima.com and it'll tell you what size you need.Originally Posted by tb2007

I got the fork racks bc they seem to be more secure since it's locking down the fork instead of a wheel...but either would work. After some time I was kinda wishing I went with the wheel rack because it became a hassle to take the front wheels off everytime you put the bikes on.

The rear tire sidewall would rub the rear fender everytime I hit a decent size bump or dip at fairly high speed (like on a freeway)...front tire sidewall would rub the fender if I was turning quick or again if I hit bumps. Then again I was pretty low on the coilovers...when I was on my sprint/agx drop I NEVER rubbed. On my +37 offset 8.5" wide front the wheel itself would stick out of the fender a tiny bit.Originally Posted by Fast1one

I'm loving them now...they look really nice in person, I'll probably get some 5mm spacers on the back to get them farther out.Senior Member
Thanks for the reply Ludacris, You had me scared for a second there. With my strut/spring combo I doubt I will rub, I kinda figured it was because of your aggressive drop...
Very nice car BTW. Paint those wheels bronze, the Z wheels looked so sexy that way!

I really want to get some 16's similar to the kosei set up you had.
What offset did the wheels have and what size tire were you running? Any rubbing?
