The AF wheels are way more expensive than the Eagles. I was on the phone with Summit Racing a while back(actually several phone calls) and they now have access the the 20 inch wheels from Eagle, they have the 16's and 17's in stock but Eagle is slow in making the 20's. The 20's are available but they are made as people order them around 8-10 weeks lead time. What I like about the AF wheels and the Eagle wheels is that there are no spacers needed between the rears, the wheels are made with the correct offsets to accomodate wider tires.

Ps...Took almost 1 hour to shovel it all out, then another half hour to rake it all out, and finally 15 minutes to power wash to bed out.

For the new hauler, I looked at a lot of mass produced options as I wanted wheels on for ease of storage. Highly considered a Pipeline rack, but with the length of the bikes they would take up the ENTIRE 12' garage. A buddy mentioned some vertical racks, but there's nowhere to "hang" the bikes in the trailer. So out came the drawing board again. I'm back to fork mounts, but they are raised 30" off the ground, keeping the bikes on an angle should only take about 9'. Then store the wheels underneath. I have it made from wood right now, but once it's all ironed out I'd like to have it duplicated in aluminum.

The bikes on the trailer that year weren't too exciting, all mountain bikes, but we've all upgraded. I'm riding a 2014 Banshee Spitfire 27.5, and buddies have Kona Satori, Banshee Rune, Banshee Prime, Knolly Chilicotin, Marin Attack Trail, Liteville 301. Along with some hardtails and some fatbikes. I'm looking at a Transition TransAM for the less rough days. We all quit for wheeling, sold our jeeps and bought bikes. It's so much more fun. Other than the tree I crashed into tonight......................... I wanted to keep mine, and anyone else who comes with ride's inside, and not trash the trailer. I couldn't find that in anything other than a toyhauler. My pedals will gut your calves if you lose track of them for a second, would sure trash doorjambs on a trailer!

But as long as there is not a gopher bringing your mail life is good.
