So is you bike narrower than your car?...folding racks are great,but other companies make them,we like to keep it simple and keep away from moving parts that rust,or wear out....

For those who ride multiple bikes(xc,dh etc) we have an mtb rack that will fit them all nicely,the "grub screw"is now an 8mm allen head fastner,the ratchet straps we are sticking with,they are simple strong,same as we use for moto,we recently had the straps made out of a tighterr weave(softer) but these racks are built to handle whatever you throw at them and the strap holds them no matter what,no parts to wear out,rust up or fall apart,that was the point when we built them

We've actually switched over to metric on all the new racks.

Or....you could simply drive the 20 minutes to the shop where they are made and see for yourself,just a thought

You could easily cable lock the bikes into the trays through one of the holes. There are also holes cut into the rack at the wheel scoop to insert a locking hitch pin through to secure the bike. Personally I have been using a combination of the two; looping a cable lock through a locking hitch pin on the wheel scoop. Would make a good challenge to a bike thief.

thats 3/16 plate.......to put in perspective,same thickness of a dump trucks frame

each rack is around 16lbs,

To answer a few questions; 1) Not all of our racks are the same length, we make racks from BMX up to DH. We also have an MTB rack that will happily carry anything you ride. 2) For Europeans, we have a flange mount system for your towbars and an optional taillight/plate holder. 3) Everyone at Tuf Rack is a rider, from BMX to DH. We actually sponsor 3 teams as well as our own DH race team. We are also the Ontario Cup race series organizers for 2012. Point being that we know our way around bikes and how to carry them. 4) This company was started to give some of the younger members on our race team a place to work after school and on weekends, and to build a rack that is simple and yet tough enough to take off road abuse. At this point in time 100% of all profits from Tuf Rack have been put back into sponsoring riders, events and putting on our own events. 5) I believe we are one of only a few rack companies that warranty our product for off road use. 6) As far as speed recommendations, they can happily handle your local speed limits whatever they may be.

50$ for the only QR clamp i have ever used that wont move,that being said thats the price,if you like it buy it,if you dont than go somewhere else,you get what you pay for,as for the otterbox i have one and its saved my phone on multiple occasions,again 50$ well spent .
