If you may be interested in a rack mounting like this one, please
email Bill Jones.
Notes:
Rack will carry 2 bikes of any configuration, including tandems
No contact between bikes or with car, no wheels flopping around,
and no clamps around frame paint
This is the prototype, production units will be black powder coated.
Prototype is welded to receiver specifically for Da Lan Z3 hitch.
Production units will bolt to any 1-1/4" receiver just like a trailer
ball.
Unit uses any of the Yakima bike mounts, including the tandem mount.
The support beams can be repositioned to different positions for best
fit.
While not shown, with the tandem I use a small strap from the top frame
tube to the front of the trunk lip to provide a buffer against aggressive
acceleration.
All components are lockable and easily removed for storage.
The rack will carry "Y" frame and ladies frame bikes with equal ease,
by using Yakima's "Ankle Biter" (TM) mount.
