Bike rack for going places - what to buy/build?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Hub,

The fam and I enjoy our trips off the beaten track. My MTB used to travel in the back of the bakkie and with the correct number of straps and padding the 4x4 tracks caused little problems.

Enter our little baby and the space in the back of the bakkie is now occupied with various child related amenities. The trailer has a roof top tent and the bakkie roof is to high. 

My question:

Can anyone recommend a product/solution for traveling with 1/2 MTB's over rough terrain given the above.

Any links?

Looks like a Yakima rack on some roof racks...great idea though! I like it...I have the tailgate protector pad and lifted it after not checking for a long time..the tailgate panel on the outside has been dented by front forks banning around against it!! Not difficult to pull out but still not cool!

This system also leaves the entire load pan free...only issue I see is height awareness!
