    I have two of the Sette mounts...I didn't use them for a while and one of the mounts is really really sticky and impossible to tighten/loosen by hand. I sprayed with WD-40 so hopefully it'll loosen things up. For $10 each, I can't complain about those Sette mounts. I have mine mounted to the bed rail behind the cab.

    Anyone using a bakflip know if rock mounts would still be accessible on the front rail?

    Anybody else running thru axles and have a short bed rack/RTT combination they would like to share? I am not removing my front wheel but also have a swingaway in the rear...so no tailgate pad.

    VooDoo has a sweet outboard system (over the bed rails on each side) but is only compatible with their rack

    Yeah.
    So you already have a short bed rack, a RTT, and a swingaway and looking for options? I have a short bed rack and RTT, but no swingaway, and use a hitch rack. I have also used a standard roof mounted system when transporting more than 2 bikes, and some of those don't require removal of the front wheel (both Yakima and Thule, haven't checked Kuat).

    Yes. I am pretty specific about my request I know but I am hoping I can fine tune. I commonly 4x4 to the top of Windrock and ride my enduro bike around the mountain and return to camp at night. Therefore I need the departure angle maintained (thus no hitch rack). Roof won't work.

    I am thinking VooDoo's system with some modified outboard securing system should do the ticket.

    I'm sure you can modify or have KBVooDoo fabricate something to meet your needs. I've seen a similar system someone built here before that hangs off the bed side with a yakima bike mount on it.

    I just wad up a crusty old towel and wedge it between the bed and wherever I need to protect on the fancy Specialized Allez DSW. It's usually smooth pavement leading to where I'm heading out to bike though.

    Post 90 was my solution. Still have to take the front wheel off, but it works.

    Posted this back in 2013 and still rocking it. 3 sette fork mounts(one has a thru axle adapter) on the front rail and 2 additional mounts on KBVooDoo bed bar whenever needed. Taking off the front wheel takes all of 30 seconds and it feels very secure.
