Pascal, Gary Lee's stuff is *HIGHLY* recommended. My setup has two Yakima 'Viper' trays and one 'Boa' What you put on there really depends upon your mtn. bike fork. The tubing he uses is a bit 'thinner' (to help keep the weight down) but he includes some 'shimming' material that works really nicely. It does make the hatch a bit heavier, but not too bad in practice. I see that he's even made them a bit lighter now as well. I can haul 3 fullsize mtn bikes on mine just fine.
