So I took my bike (MTB) to the trails!

His thread disappeared (dunno why), but there are Curt, Draw Tite, and U-Haul hitches (not hidden, though they look fine to me).

Just came across another interesting custom solution (tow hooks with a modified 1up hitch carrier):



FYI, 1up also sells a roof tray that works with tow hook bars. On that note, nice job with your setup... looks like you could easily load two bikes.

His thread is here, but it's locked. I'm guessing because it was getting to the point that he needed a vendor account.

I saw someone was selling theirs off along with
a number of other mods. I think they were from NY

Actually, it's beyond locked... still shows up in my list of subscribed threads but is "inactive" and can't be loaded/read (that's what I meant by disappeared). I thought his vendor status was in progress, but perhaps something went awry. *shrug*

Thanks! I like the That_guy 1upUSA setup, but I know my tendency would be to leave it on all the time because it's bigger. I've decided to cut mine down and then I can find a place for it in the trunk and keep it with me and ready to throw on. I think if I cut it down I'll still be able to do 2 bikes. I'm going to mount up a couple bikes tonight and see how short I can go and still fit them.

Something must have happened to him either with the forum or otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if Uhaul or someone pulled some legal action. Not sure if Kask got a patent for his design or not. Bummer, I liked that setup a lot and would go that way for sure. I just don't like the non-hidden hitch setups. I sure hope that Kask didn't get sued or something stupid like that.

We'll see how this turns out. Can't wait.

From what I understand Kask let his vendor status run out as his full time job was preventing him from making more units at this time. By the way I thought I saw some one from the NY area (about a week ago) was selling their unit after they sold their car.

Red devil! Just found your bike set up! Fantastic!! Did you end up making some extras and selling them? I'm so in if you have one left?

Otherwise question for you , how did you join the two different size rods ie the 1-1/8 and the M16x1.5 , it's hard to see in the picture

Setup has been working well. I am considering a second set of arms for 2 bikes, but I just am lazy about getting it done.
The Ecohitch thing looks great, but the price is just too much for what it is. Still, I like it better than any of the uhaul or other setups that are always visible...

The big mouth is actually really bad in this application. The stamped bracket that holds the uprights that hold the down tube clamp has a ton of lateral flex and the bike moves around a lot. I know from experience trying that exact setup. Did not like. I'm on the lookout for a good fork mounted tray with a wide mounting point on the bars.
