My '05 Limited with Yakima Hookup & Bike

Looking good. I like the Santa Cruz bikes, but they were a little too pricey. My wife and I got Cannondale Prophets. And they rock out world.

What was it like using just the bike racks mounted to the basket directly? Were there anyother reasons not mentioned to move away from that type of setup? When the loadwarrior was mounted was it originally right to the factory x-bars? Was there any bounciness or swaying?

I'm leaning towards a yak basket to mount 1-2 bikes. (bikes direct to basket, basket direct to factory x-bars). Can you offer any other advice?

PS: my rides are a real old school "Scott Boulder" circa 1990 and a wicked sport-touring Marinoni Ciclo (custom). The boulder has also served up 2 seasons as a winter bike, using a nokian studded front tire. It is a hoot! I have ridden in temps as cold as -25C...on lakes, snow covered trails, etc.
