Can't even see mine! Those all belong to buddies. That said I have a 27.5 full suspension Banshee Spitfire with 2014 fox shocks on both ends and a 2015 Transition TransAM 29 with a Rockshox Pike. I'd have to say the people drinking the Pike Kool-Aid are right, and the Pike is the better shock. Fox redesigned the dampers for 2013 and really screwed up and have been trying to get back on track. I don't think its a bad fork, but I think I like the Pike better. I've never run a Marz, but a buddy has one and loves it. We generally fall into the AM side of riding, more than cross country but gotta earn your downs with the ride up. There is lift assist riding around, but the speeds are nuts and the jumps are big. I feel like I'm getting too old for that crazy stuff.

I fully agree with this. Bike belong where some idiot can't ruin them, be it on a car, truck or trailer. That pic I posted has about $26K worth of bikes in it. I don't feel like there is any other way to transport them where they are safe unless they are on the truck.

How about a receiver mounted on the front of the truck, then use a hitch mount bike carrier?

Order a set of torqlift camper brackets, fab up your own rack system that uses the frame mounted camper brackets to and build a rack system that hangs the bikes upside down about the box of the truck.

Also mount the bike hangers on lockable sliders so you can slide them out individually to mount and dismount from the rack system. Also with being on the sliders you can easily move them out of the way for simple access to the bed of the truck.
