Frame Rack vs Tire

Do you have a picture of your setup Ricky? I need to rethink my form of bike transportation. A new vehicle wasn't as easy to get as I thought.

If you are carrying DH bikes get a 2" receiver to support the heavier weight...

my 4 bike one is not lightweight. hehehe. the damn thing is like 75 lbs. gotta have a vehicle that can handle a few hundred lbs of tongue weight or ur front end will wander around and u will bottom out in the rear. crossovers need not apply.

rick.... your scion hitch is good for 200 lbs of tongue... thats less than me sitting on your bumper

I got the 2 bike setup 30 pounds of rack plus my 7 point and dannys bike is still less then 200

I threw my blakc market and 7 point on there and drove around hitting corners hard and up to about 80 and its all good, plus now we can fit through the mc d's dirve through on the way to rides lol

Keep in mind, bike racks put the weight out back, creating a moment arm, so even though total weight is less than the 200, the actual tongue weight will be more.
