How stable is that rack Offroad?RakAttach swingout with Recon Rack for multiple bikes... just ordered the EVOC Duo pad for quick rips
Thats why I went with a fork mount on the front rail and a tire tray on the rear. If there isn't a bike on it, everything functions like normal.Does anyone know of a way to secure a single bike to a single crossbar? If I run it on both cross bars, I can't open my tonneau cover.
If not I'll probably just keep running my 1UP hitch rack (it does have the slot underneath for a roof rack)
All I can say is that it's fine. My setup is unique in that I have always have the RakAttach arm attached and it introduces flex, as well as moving the weight of the rack even further out. The Recon Rack is solid and I 100% trust it. The bikes like to "sway" left and right over the off camber stuff when the truck is rocking since they are merely cradled by the tires and held with heavy duty bungee cords. If we head to Moab and I know we'll hit the longer washboard sections I always secure the cranks with a strap and I tend to drive slower. Overall I'll say that I think a horizontal holder might be better suited for faster speeds and a lot of left-right rocking of the vehicle.
I've got thru-axles on all 3 of my bikes... the fork mounts I got come with adapters for multiple different sizes of forks...
I was hoping for something without removing the front wheel, but I may have to get over that.
Yeah... I'd love to be able to leave the front wheel on but I just couldn't come up with a way around it. I'd either be taking the front wheel off or I'd be re-mounting a bike rack if I wanted to still be able to open the bed cover. Ultimately... taking a front wheel on and off is easier than installing/removing a bike rack every time I want to go ride.
I purchased a wheel bag from Amazon that can hold two wheels. I keep the wheels in the bag in the bed with the bikes while traveling and throw it in the back of the cab when we stop for food or drinks after a ride.
