You could just use a 100mm block of wood nailed from underneath and drill a hole through it. Connect the bike with its axel.

@MichianaMadman 11 месяцев назад

@rufflesal that would definitely work.

No problem!

@randomtreaz7252 2 года назад

It's very important not to tighten the axle, cause if the width is not spaced properly according to the fork (100/110mm) you can bend the stanchions or the casting.. But it's a nice idea!!

Thank you very much for this information!

Thank you mister, this was a great video

@jspin72 2 года назад

Great idea! Tho instead of offsetting the mounts front/back, just rotate them a few degrees so the bars won't conflict.

@MichianaMadman 2 года назад

Great idea! I’m about to build a new mount for my vehicle, so I’m going to try this.

@tonyp35 2 года назад

Very informative. Thank you very much!

@MichianaMadman 2 года назад

No problem! I made a more recent version that is a bit improved. The video is linked in the pinned comment.

I used to do this with my Trek7000 in my '07 Nissan Xterra and all I had to do was quick-release my front wheel and I was good. I'm trying to find a way to do the same in my Rivian R1S but the roof is too shallow to leave my saddle on. Just keep in mind that every vehicle is slightly different and this solution may require tweaks depending on what you drive.

They have 1/2" PVC threaded nipple/inserts for the t-bracket to avoid metal upon metal contact... \m/

@MichianaMadman 2 года назад

I originally went with the plastics ones but the inner diameter was too tight. I thought of drilling it out a bit but ended up trying the metal ones and they worked. I plan on making another mount soon and I’m going to be using all PVC.

@rufflesal 11 месяцев назад

Where do you put the front wheels? Awesome project.

@MichianaMadman 11 месяцев назад

Just next to the bikes. I usually use a bungee cable to secure them.

@amilan22 11 месяцев назад

good job :)

@peter572 Год назад

If the aluminum axle is damaged by the harder metal, that is steel, will it go through the wheel hub?

@MichianaMadman Год назад

Over the years of using this, I haven’t had a problem with my axle being damaged.

@JenniferWasylenko 2 года назад

love this! I'm actually looking for a vehicle soon and want to do this. What length of cargo space do you recommend for a large framed mountain bike? Mine is small but always nice to have the option for a larger bike for a friend. Thanks!

@MichianaMadman 2 года назад

I can fit a XL bike in back with just 66 inches (168cm) of space. Hope that helps!

@JenniferWasylenko 2 года назад

Thank you!! Yes it does!
