    Also hesitant on shuttles.

    I like my $1k+ shocks, forks with extravagant adjustability, and sexy carbon frame to be show ready for the gram. Guess I’m too posh :notsure:



    Mostly joking but not completely joking

    Well 3 trucks would make it super doable if we needed to.

    4 bikes on a tailgate wouldn’t touch, so as long as another can hold 2-3 bikes we’d be good.

    if we stay in Knoxville though there may be no need for shuttles at all. Unless folks don’t want to pedal from campground

    Gotta order some new pads just to have on hand. New tires arrived yesterday, and replacement chain last week.

    I could be making something outa nothing but I decided to go ahead and order back ups for the consumable parts. Rather have it on hand now than be down for months if there’s giant lead times in the future when I do need them.

    I’m keeping my old pads for just that reason. They are not in great shape but not completely shot, and better than nothing I had to use them.

    I’m thinking about picking up some spare tires too

    Don’t make me put somebody else on my bike and have them out shred your dental chair on wheels.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Thoughts on the best single tray hitch mount or tore mount that is secure AF? While I do like the OneUps and similar. I own a Kuat dbl... I ain’t trusting it to keep my bike on while on some of these trails.
    Something that would put my bike up high would be optimal, something like this maybe. As I could still tow my trailer.
    Thoughts?

    I’ll still keep my suggestion as firmly for the 1up. The kuat and 1up secure the bikes differently. The 1up being much more secure, and designed with off-roading in mind.

    The single tray 1up mounted on the trailer would be pretty sturdy. Height clearance might become a concern.

    I gotcha, have you ever thrown a soft strap over your seat post for piece of mind?

    Not sure I follow?
    The 1up rack only contacts the tires.

    I know, I was merely curious if you put anything else on it to ensure you don’t dump it on the trail?

    Oh haha no I don’t. But I only have the hitch rack so the truck takes all the trail side hits, and my rig only sees overgrown forest services/logging roads at most.
