Kinda like this: (Quicky photoshop, hehe)

I have a problem with my fork because I upgraded my MTB with 15mm axle fork, so I can't use my Holdfast skewer support.

 

I wonder if they do sell special fork supporter? Where do you get?

Have a look on CRC they sell an adaptor that will clamp onto the Holdfast clamp and accept the 15mm axle

Did you have those made? How much would you sell just the blocks for?

I made my own, bought the quick release brackets and did the rest myself, very solid

 

Spotted you this morning in Duxbury road, Hatfield, with this setup. Looks good (as it was wizzing past me on my el cheapo Spalding bike )

Do you have a real pic of you doing this, How's the bike not falling over?

You have 2 straps - both around the seat post and securing tight to either side of the load bed.

 

I prefer to bury the back wheel into one of the corners that it cannot go anywhere.

I do fast speeds on the tar so I also used a strap over the top tube near the stem just to keep the nose down - as previously posted, I had my road bike 'take off' on the N2 with the front wheel lifting and the bike falling over - thankfully still staying in the bakkie.

 

Alternatively, you can tie the front of the bike to secure preventing the lifting at high speeds.

Yeah, the last thing I want is my new bike to moer off the bakkie

I have nice strong rachets (x2) which i'll try

[Berg Man]

Just do it the way we load motorbikes. Straps over the bars and pull down (can lock out forks if you wish), one on each side. If you going over very rough terrain, add one strap or elastic thingy at the back to keep it down over bumps (because a MTB is lighter than a motorbike). Easy and cheapest way

[Guest TheBushpig]

Yeah! My first reaction was "by hand", but thought it wiser not to post...
