Question:
Thanks for the recommendations! Will either or both fit the frame of a Transitions mountain bike? My Current Thule doesn't. Thanks

Since you don't want a hitch I assume you aren't interested in a roof rack for the same reason so that leaves you with a trunk mount rack. A great trunk mount I like to recommend is the Saris Bones, part # SA805BL. This is a high quality, easy to install rack that's more affordable than some of the others. The arched design is great for spoilers and it's mostly made of plastic making it a lot less susceptible to rust and corrosion. It also has anti-sway cradles. The only thing I don't like about the Bones is it doesn't come with locks. They can, however, be added using part # SA981 for a cable lock and part # TH533 for the strap to secure the rack to the vehicle.
Another rack that I consider an upgrade to the Bones is the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR. It's also great for spoilers and has anti-sway cradles.
One more thing to consider with any hanging bike rack, like the Bones and the Gateway Pro, is a bike frame adapter bar. They're used on women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes as the horizontal cross tube like men's bikes have. If you need one I recommend the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005.
