Depends on the cranks on the XC bike.just wondering if i could fit my downhill sled and a xc bike on the 2 x downhill carrier?
I own one and you definately can, don't know about any 'guard' as its the non-drive side that goes in the slot. Just be wary of what cranks you have (particularly on your DH bike) and know if you have to get oversize adapters or not. Saints, Diabolus and similarly large cranks won't fit in the slots.just wondering if i could fit my downhill sled and a xc bike on the 2 x downhill carrier?
They fit Grips racks perfectly, but Saints not so much. You can either get an adapter or if you like you can bend the mounts slightly to get the new version of Saints to fit.Diabolus
i carry both on mine, depends on BB height. I cut about an inch off the top of the crank holder so my rear wheel touches the carrier properly and doesnt hang in the air.just wondering if i could fit my downhill sled and a xc bike on the 2 x downhill carrier?
Cheers for the link! I'll be giving that a try.Just wanted to add that I found some stuff called Plastimake which I used to do the same sort of thing as the guys using plasti-dip are doing.
See here - http://www.plastimake.com/example/bike-rack-hack
Worked well, no more beat up cranks and cheaper than plasti-dip.
