I can't find a Kuat reseller in Montreal Canada.
Check online. I ordered mine from Competitive Cyclist when they had a sale going on.

Not an issue with the 1Up, for what it's worth, since it only touches the tires. You can use whatever rim depth you want.
I got mine here with the add-on (4 bikes), Ottawa not far from Montreal. Maybe they can ship. It is a great bike rack!

Another option could be the Seasucker bike racks.

+1 Kuat NV. It is expensive but it looks nice and it is very handy. The tallest rim height that fits in the back wheel is 70mm so if you have a tt bike with deeper wheels yu will have to use soething else to fix it.
Huge, huge fan of the saris freedom superclamp 4. Only touches rubber (tires) - no frame, rim, or brake caliper contact (as the thule's and kuat have) that can leave marks or rub off paint.
As a Canadian where vehicular rust is often an issue, even bigger marks for the Saris because they don't rust (two of mine don't have any after 2 and 6 seasons of use). I had a Thule t2 rust through to the point the wheel trays fell off within 5 years.
I'd buy a one-up if the price wasn't so ridiculous as a Canadian.
Only complaint with the freedom is that it appears 'cheap-ish'. It uses a lot of plastic, and doesn't seem as solid as a t2 pro, but it has never been a problem, nor do I suspect it will be. And I use my racks a lot.

1 Up racks are really really good. Thule pales in comparison.
