There’s lots of different ways to carry your stuff and just as many advocates for each carrying solution. If you happen to run a full suspension bike then your choices have been pretty limited. Many who find themselves in this situation will often be drawn towards using a frame bag, which is a great, as long as the suspension design doesn’t impede too much on the available room within the frame.


Maybe this could be another approach. It’s a Freeload rack and is designed to fit pretty much everything and anything.

Rear rack on a full susser?, no trouble. Want to carry stuff on your suspension forks? it’ll do that too. Don’t have any rack eyelets? it doesn’t matter. I’m told the Freeload will fit pretty much any bike and the same rack can be fitted to the front or the back.





I’ll give it a thorough testing/abusing over the next few weeks and report back … it might just be the solution some have been waiting for, we’ll see!

    Hi there,
    Tim from Freeload here… a dealer in the UK just got in touch with us after seeing your post.
    Just a thought – after seeing the photo's of the rack setup on your bike, can I recommend you use the middle size struts… rather than the short ones you have on there now.
    This will give you better triangulation, and ultimately a stronger rack : ]
    Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions: tim@freeload.co.nz

    Cheers

  2. Hi Tim,
    I hear what you're saying but I did change the struts over for 'field testing'. The picture was my first fit when I was just seeing how it worked … full review coming soon ;o)

Despite generally returning home with a debilitating injury, I’ve always enjoyed my trips to Scotland. It’s a vast place with many ‘honey pots’ but even more little known and largely hidden corners. Once you add the very sensible approach to access and wild-camping, plus the large number of bothies scattered across the land, then it’s […]

Book Club … Bikepacking Wales by Emma Kingston.

Someone suggested that I was the wrong person to review this book. At first, I was a little unsure as to the reasons behind that statement, after all, I’ve been riding the hills and valleys of Wales for twenty years. I’ve mapped out numerous routes across the largely green and pleasant land and have gained […]

Inclusive – at what cost?

Last week, someone told me that, in certain circles Bear Bones is viewed as being ‘less than inclusive’. Had they said ‘full of weirdos’ or ‘a bit odd’, then I’d have readily agreed but lacking inclusiveness? No. Have these people not seen how the forum welcomes everyone with open arms or how for the last […]
