Yeah, that doesn't look super secure with the gripper that close to the bottom bracket. My Thule Big Mouth usually clamps my 29er's on the upper half of the midpoint on the down tube. I was never really pleased with that setup, either, though.

yeah that was exactly my thought, i might buy the yakima frontloader
|
This is awesome :)

Is the 1UP the only bike rack that will perfectly center the bike in between the bars?
It looks like lost of the Thule or Yakima racks tend to have the front bar almost directly under the front wheel which shifts the whole bike to one side of the car. |

I have both the roof rack and hitch mount for my cars. Not one single issue to this date. I don't work for them but man do I love their rack! |
@that_guy any plans for another batch in the near future?

I'd be in, too! |

Probably looking at end of 2014 or early 2015 though. I'm still recovering financially from moving into a new house and trying to keep the FR-S funded as it sits in the garage. I know, first world problems. Stay tuned and to those who have come up with their own clever variations, keep them coming! |

Thanks again man! :thanks: |
I would like some.
Thanks |
Definitely interested as well. My car and my bike are my two babies. But I hate to see one get dirty because of the other. Looks like an awesome design. Thanks for building them.
|
I'd buy a set as well if you make another batch. An alternative to manage the purchases and billing etc would be to put it on Kickstarter. They charge a five percent haircut on the funds but perhaps worth it.

Stay tuned guys and thanks for the continued interest. If I can get this to work, I'll run off another batch. Just so everyone is aware, the going rate is $200 CDN plus shipping. I'm trying my best to get that down, but that seems to be where it all comes out after production and shipping to me. |
