Hey there, I'm a new member. First post. I've been riding bikes on Central Texas dirt since the 90s, but I was pretty casual about it until the last few years. I've been lurking here for a while.. seems like a good group of people.
Anyway I've got an old 1.25" hitch rack I'd like to get rid of. It's built solidly and gets the job done, but the main issue I had was the top tube holders could never be tightened enough and the bikes would bounce around a little. It nicked up the paint on my top tube a bit until I added some extra padding. I eventually just started using a ratchet strap to keep things tight on longer trips. So not perfect, but racks aren't cheap so maybe somebody can use it..
BTW, I'm off 290W near Belterra
