Re: Rack 'Em Up (or, A Collective Bump to Bike Rack Threads)

1UPs installed and used. We went w/hitch mount and are carrying it in front. Very impressed, rock solid on rough road, 99% of movement is with vehicle. Minor movement on their own. The biggest...

Re: Rack 'Em Up (or, A Collective Bump to Bike Rack Threads)

That's what you have, no? I think my configuration would be similar to yours--two trays on an Aluminess bike carrier swing arm. I cut one of the 4 tubes on the Aluminess because I couldn't mount my...

Re: Rack 'Em Up (or, A Collective Bump to Bike Rack Threads)

Re: Rack 'Em Up (or, A Collective Bump to Bike Rack Threads)
