I used the rockymount on my seasucker and it was a gamechanger for me. Took some modification but made the seasucker a lot easier to use instead of having to hold the bike in hand, hold the forks etc etc lol

@CHUDHUCKER 4 года назад

Hi Paul, maybe put some carriage bolts on the mounts, hang the bolt below the tray and tack weld the nut to the bolt. Of course do this once everything is sorted. Good insurance for theft protection, however a pain in the butt if you need to make adjustments. If you need to remove the mounts you would have to zip off the bolt and nut, but that is cheap. Then one last lock on the tray. I work for a large utility company and the guys before me here have been using carriage bolts and welded nuts for a while and it seems to help with theft quite a bit. Project is looking great.

@darylblain4710 Месяц назад

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the point in even locking the fork mounts in. Just remove the quick release on the forks and the whole bike comes out. Minus the through axel

Ive been thinking of making one for my one bike (with space for a second in the future), but in order to save space, lengthwise and height, I was thinking of removing both wheels. Thoughts on that? Sure, may take a minute or so longer to setup or take apart, but it will save on space big time.

@chumpmtb2554 4 года назад

The build is coming along great! I've heard you mention converting the DH bike into a Mullet a couple of times. Make sure you look into that. From everything I've heard, it's best to start with a 27.5 bike and add the bigger front wheel. When you mullet a 29er, the geo tends to end up pretty far off. Much slacker, lower BB, slacker seat angle, etc. Might not be too big of an issue with a DH tho, since you won't be pedaling much 🤷‍♂️

@PaulThePunter 4 года назад

Well don't forget the gambler is designed for both. so it doesn't matter. :)

Chump MTB Brendan Fairclough runs a mullet setup on his gambler, and he doesn’t run a custom rear end or anything. The gambler is just so adjustable that geometry isn’t an issue.

@flyboysnugs 4 года назад

How tight are clearances all around? As in, when the van is moving and bumping up and down, and forks and shocks and tyres are compressing etc, is there wiggle room so that levers and pedals don't gouge the surfaces? Or get gouged? Just hard to see on camera exactly, but genuinely curious as to how much play the pro installers allow, for future builds myself

@PaulThePunter 4 года назад

They won’t. Suspension and tires wouldn’t compress with the insanely small amount of force that’s being subjected to them.

@PaulThePunter 4 года назад

Great question! My bikes won't be any larger than this. And in reality there's the possibility of moving the front mounts around to accommodate for that sort of thing. However I would bet that the difference is minimal.
