Sounds ideal, it's those roof carrier type straps that I was thinking of using for the rear wheels. As for security, I guess they're only as secure as the vehicle security itself, although to me, that's more secure than the locks on any external bike carrier.
I get 4 bikes in rear wheel first and front wheel off. Secured on a rail and I have room left at the side for quite a bit. There is no movement of the bikes at all. Not even a rattle.
What system is that?
That is the ' I'm too tight or skint to buy a proper made one so I made one myself system'
Gotta love a bit of home engineering!
Awesome @Village this is exactly what I was planning. Do you happen to have the dimensions by any chance, only asking as I was hoping to get something built and ready for when my van arrives in a couple of weeks.
It’s surprising how much load is applied is a collision. Example; 15Kg bike, van traveling at 50MPH involved in a collision stopping the van in 0.2 second results in a load in excess of 170Kg.
Sure, dimensions as per the pic. The advantage of the rocky mounts is they clamp the axle, so accommodate all widths (boost and non boost)
Brill - thanks ever so much. really appreciate that.
