I own and use the Saris Freedom rack with the optional long bar to transport a tandem. It works well and I had never seen anyone else using one until a recent trip where there were two others on vehicles at the trailhead. While I have a lot of Thule and Yakima gear, I have come to the conclusion that their racks (and Kuat) are grossly overpriced for what they offer. They are also heavy to take on and off of your vehicle. You may not care (I do), but last time I looked, Yakima's and Kuat's hitch racks are made in China. Thule probably has Chinese production too 1Up has nice stuff, made in USA, but not fender friendly. I have had a Performance rack very similar to the Swagman in an earlier post and it was more than adequate and the price was right when on sale at Performance. Attached is a picture of our tandem on the Performance xport rack
