Blake Builds A Custom Mountain Bike Rack | Part 1

Спорт

Blake was tired of having to take his bikes off his hitch-mounted rack to put his snacks in the boot of his jeep on his way to the trails, so he enlisted the help of friend Martyn (Innov8 Automotive) to fabricate a fully custom hinged bike rack for his vehicle! Check out part one now

    Blake, you gotta cover the paintwork when welding or grinding near it. The sparks melt into the clearcoat and will start rusting in no time.

Eventually I will buy the swing component but being an avid MTBer and Jeep owner I am poor so it will have to wait a while.

    Hitch-mounted bike racks - for bikes are much better, stronger and easier than round ball tow bar mounted bike racks, especially for MTBs. However for in the UK I think they are illegal. Also so many regulations with lights and number plates and vision. I think there should be some exceptions in the UK to use hitch-mounted racks for bikes.
