Best in Mountain Bike Hauling

Always up for a good reason to post taco/bike pic.....

 

The kit comes with two clamps. I only use one. The other clamp is on the driver side bed rail. I can actually carry my mtb and the wife’s mtb , on attached to each bed rail. I also bungy cord the forward and rear portion on the front wheel to the bed rail. Each mtb is attached in three places on the bed rail. It’s super solid. Bike doesn’t move and it takes less than a minute to mount and dismount the bikes. The clamps stay on the truck.

I’ll post more pictures.

 

Thanks for the replies, looks like your eeb fork might be a Zeb as well. Gonna have to pick one up

 

It’s my favorite fork. I also own a boxxer, fox 36 factory and a DVO Diamond. The Zeb is better than all of them.

 

I'm inclined to agree. I have been a lifelong Fox guy but I have been sold on this Zeb. Your the only person I've talked to so far that also feels this way though. I think the Zeb is better in everything but the hardest of hits where I think the Fox 38 feels maybe a bit more designed for big hits/jumps from the factory. But my Fox 38 is the highest specd version while my Zeb is the base trim and costs half the price so I really think RS did great with it. I would buy one over the Fox stuff if I was in the market for a new fork.

 

My Zeb is the ultimate version. My Fox 36 is the top spec “factory”.

Zeb is more supple. Rides higher in the travel and therefore more confidence going downhill and gives excellent mid travel support. Stiff laterally (steering) and allows some flexing for comfort. I think Rockshox nailed it on this fork. Also, the 2.1 charger damper is terrific.

 

Oh yeah, the Zeb rides like a Cadillac. I need to get that charger upgrade... I heard it drops right into mine.

 

Fox is the go to for racing suspension in motocross and 99% of any type of off road racing.
Mtn Bike wise their double clamps are hard to beat. With single crown folks I will always
choose Rock Shox for the win. It's hard to justify the prices of Fox forks if you are buying
your own gear. With my new dirt jump build I know it will be my last custom bike so I went
with Rock Shox Pike's. Are they twice as much as Manitou's? Yes but they aren't as expensive
as the Fox's either. Right in the middle. Plus I'm confident at 159 pound I shouldn't be blowing
them up.

 

I prefer Rockshox forks , Pike, Lyrik, Zeb and boxxer. I’m 220 and ride hard therefore hard on equipment.

 

I’ve never tried.. I’m not sure how wide the tires are on a fat tire bike but after measuring it looks like about the max width that would safely fit would be 3 inches

 

Still using my old Yakima Viper on my Yakima bars; remember the bike is up there and no issues.

 

Made a rack to haul the canoe, and added a couple mounts for the bikes too. Of course I have the obligatory Race Face tailgate pads as well...

 

That canoe looks like it could tell some good stories.

 

There are lots of stories. What I like best is that she doesn't leak and I don't have to act like its made of glass...

 

+1 on the Raceface tailgate pad. I've tried several other ways, and I like it best. Plus it holds 3-5 bikes easily.

 

I got this rack off of Amazon that allows access to drop the tailgate with a bike on the back. If interested I can search for the link. Super easy to use, I’ve loved it so far.

 

Latch-It Rack for our tiny beds. It gets some of that bed space back

I’m just looking into this. Is there a specific model I should search?

 

I'm partial to my SideRide Bike mounts
