GTRacing Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I bought a extender bar from the paint shop, it kicks against the insides of the load bin. add two caddy's to it and whala.. done and the best one yet.
Tiny K Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 is there anyone in the cape town area that can manufacture something like this for me? i dont know anyone with the correct machines or ability to do it.Thanks I can make a plan - will see how busy my dad is. He can pretty much do anything with steel. PM me your email addy.
Tiny K Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I got tired of using blankets, noodles, matresses etc and came up with this: Add some tie downs to reduce stress on the drop outs during transport and presto! Been using mine for a few years now without any hassles. Wheels stand up between the bikes. Made from square tube and machined pins. Can you post some dims?
Grebel Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Can you post some dims? I have a CAD drawing somewhere that I will have to find first. Should be able to put up a PDF file when I find it. Materials used are as follows: 25x2mm SQ tube25x8 f/bar16dia BMS round bar. You will need somebody with a lathe to machine the pins for you though. The rest is cut and weld. Make sure you get it square or your bike leans over when attached to rhe rack!! Looks really k@k...
Dicky DQ Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Go to Sportsmans wearhouse and jusr buy the QR brackes, they come with holes etc. Jusr mount on your ally plate and be done with it. Damn why complicate issues.

Tiny K Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Here is an idea using Wedge's concept and using Grebel's sizes:
Wedge Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Brilliant! Thanks SirK! Defintely going to try this at a later stage.
udxcob Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Thr problem with these bike fittings is that you have tio take off the front wheel, how many times have people driven off leaving their front wheels against the trre next to the bakkie?

udxcob Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I have heard of it before, if you do a search here you may even find someone looking for a wheel that was left somewhere, cant be a nice feeling km's down the road

That is why I made sure my floor pump was bright yellow.
