I think you are referring to the 'trombone' attachments that hold the bike
wheel in place? If so this is part of the 'First Class' Kit ... Steve does
sell the entire kit, but probably not the 'trombones' seperately...

However, Paulchen also makes 'V Channels' that attach at the same points as
the 'trombones' to hold the wheels. These probably work better for skinny
tires than the 'tronbones'... The 'V Channels' come as part of the Economy
Class bike kit... I have a new Economy Class kit for sale... pmail me if you
are interested.

This comes as part of the basic rack order. Perhaps you can find one for
sale as I don't think they are necessary for a light weight load.
