Question:
Hello, Im looking at the Rhino-rack Hybrid Roof Bike rack and the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles Roof Rack, but I cant really tell the difference between the two. They look very similar like almost the same company. Are there any major differences or are they functionally the same? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The two racks you mentioned are pretty similar takes on the same type of bike rack but I would go with the Rhino Rack Hybrid part # RRRBC050-FB over the RockyMounts BrassKnuckles # RKY1201 for a couple reasons. The Rhino Rack is 3 lbs lighter, comes with locks (BrassKnuckles requires you buy them separately), and if ever needed to carry a fat bike it's already compatilbe whereas the BrassKnuckle requires an additional adapter.
