I hate that Tapatalk only let's you react with a thumbs up. Please accept my lol.I hate lazy Velcro.
Aren't they even more expensive?I’d throw Thule in the mix. I’m happy with mine. I got sick of waiting for the race face to come back in stock. After reading reviews the race face quality may have dropped though

What is the apostrophe for? Won ton?*won't
Because willn't would just be far to logical.What is the apostrophe for? Won ton?
Get rid of Tapatalk. I run Fakebook through Chrome too, probably one of the last users that dont use FB messenger.I hate that Tapatalk only let's you react with a thumbs up. Please accept my lol.
Vertical surely? Weight is closer in*What do you think puts less stress on a tow bar. Platform or vertical rack?
I’m no engineer but I’d guess platform (EDIT: VERTICAL ) would cause less stress over corrugations, potholes, etc (primarily vertical forces) but more under emergency braking (horizontal forces)What do you think puts less stress on a tow bar. Platform or vertical rack?
Vertical overall, the further out from the attachment point the load is, the more leverage force is placed on the litch area. Vertical might undergo more torsional twisting when loaded with 5-6 bikes but as the main load is pretty much directly over the attachment theres not much if a fulcrum. It's pretty much moot anyway, if you have a decent, up to reg towbar, neither will be a problem.What do you think puts less stress on a tow bar. Platform or vertical rack?
250kg max at the hitch could pretty quickly be reached with 4 ebikes on a platform rack hanging 4 foot back, I’d reckon. For the second time today I’ll point out physics isn’t my forte.Vertical overall, the further out from the attachment point the load is, the more leverage force is placed on the litch area.

The rack will fail a million times over before the towbar even notices it's loaded.
it's a nice bridge...

This is why sway straps are so important for vertical racks over 4 bike, for $10 worth of ratchet straps from Bunnings it secures the whole thing and reduces a lot of dynamic stress.Vertical might undergo more torsional twisting when loaded with 5-6 bikes but as the main load is pretty much directly over the attachment theres not much if a fulcrum.
Your.Ball mass is about the steering and suspension geometry of the tow vehicle.
Exceeding the maximum ball mass rating, in either direction + or - and you will introduce sway and yaw to both the tow vehicle and load, ultimately introducing yourself to being jacknifed, upsidedown, in a table drain, once you hit crusing speed. It is not the strength rating of the hitch itself.
