Solo on pinkbike...

I had one for over 10 years. It worked fine but on rough roads I didn't trust it much. Still a great rack though.

I had a T2 that held 4 bikes and that thing was a little scary when fully loaded.

No spam. We are going to build a couple and I thought if anyone wanted one...

We are going to build a few racks if anyone is interested.

This is great idea. Anyone ever built one like this?

Thanks, but I want the rack to hold the bikes by the tire.

This is exactly what I m talking about.

I've used the NS rack for 3 days in Bellingham and not all bikes fit. It scratched my Lyrik on my AM bike. The mounts needed to be 2" wider apart because the pedals hit.

I'm looking at a rack that holds the bikes by the wheel and tire, more like Arbutus and Rat Rack.

We are going to build a hitch/upright 4, 5, and 6 bike rack. We want something like a Rat Rack, or Arbutus Rack. A rack that holds the bikes by the tire.

I don't want a North Shore rack or a...

Where did you get the Alfine mud cover?

Swagman tried to tell me there was the same wind resistance in the Jack Knife rack as the Arbutus...

I'm sorry but 4 bikes sideways is going to have way more drag than 4 bikes straight on.

I want an Arbutus rack!

Any opinions on the Swagman JackKnife? Not very aerodynamic...

True but Im sure there is more wind resistance with the Swagman over the North Shore or Rat Rack.
For $900 I can have my buddy build one.

My daughter is 10 and almost 5" tall. She is a giant.

I ment Swagman racks in general are less than stellar, plus it doesn't look to aerodynamic being sideways.

$650 for a 4 bike?

Rat Rack 4 bike is $900 and has to be picked up.

I sent them an email last week and nothing.

Looks high enough off the ground to me.

Nothing really wrong with the T2. A buddy needed a rack and I sold it to him to help him out. Mine was the original Sportworks with a Thule add on. I just want something new.

Link doesn't work but I've seen the Swagman Jackknife.
I've used their other racks and they have been less than stellar.

I sold my 4 bike T2 yesterday. I need a new rack.

What ever happened to the Rat Rack and Arbutus racks?
