That looks like a nice rack; there really is a lack of truck racks that will work for DH bikes.PoserNewbie said:Why do you even need a rack if you have a truck?
TtotheJ said:For a hitch mount rack check out www.northshoreracks.com. They have a pretty cool design that looks really good for big bikes. It also looks like the ground clearance is better then on some of the tray type hitch mounted racks. The only down side is they say it will only hold mtb's with suspension forks.
They had a set up in the Whistler village during crankworx. I've been really interested in it since I first saw it. Scratches shouldn't be a problem with it, I dont understand how you got that idea?Kanter said:My bike is saying ouch to that rack. Talk about shuttle scratches.

The picture has to be on the web; you can't just put img tags around the address when its on you computer.
Upload your photos to photobucket.com, you don't have to resize them like you do here; it auto resizes them. Once they are on there, copy the img tag and paste it here (it already has img tags on it, so you don't need to use the photo icon. If you copy the url tag from there, then you need do need to click the photo icon that puts the img tags.

My only reservation is that there looks like there is nothing holding the bikes "down". It looks like if you wailed a speed bump that you could bounce a bike loose. Tell me I'm wrong.
