big john Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not having a go at any bike rack manufacturer in particular. However, I stopped using a bike rack to transport trials bikes several years ago. I felt that the leverage effect could only cause one thing, metal fatigue! I went back to hauling a trailer, OK the speed is limited but I much preferred to tow a bike rather than put so much pressure on the back of a car. I switched to van transport three years ago, which I find is the best transportation of trials bikes...IMHO! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beta bodger Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) I thought the Dave Coopers were the best to get!!!!???? I have bought an autobars one and frankly its rusted after very little time and the welds are sub standard! Twinshockdude - show us a picture of the rack Edited February 29, 2008 by Beta Bodger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
