Hi, great video. We have a Jayco Swan outback and looking at this set up for 3-4 bikes. Have you travelled long distances with this set up and if so how did you find it? Did any of the pieces become loose?
Not with the Buzz Rack. With the Coast A frame mount and the other larger rack we have on the Journey. It is extremely solid monitoring in the rear view. Nothing has ever been loose after a trip.
Hi Ben, great question. We typically just have our boys bikes on with the Fiamma however I just checked with my 29er and it's right on the ends. So that's a tricky one. Unfortunately there only seems to be one rail length at the 1280mm. I checked a few others, the similar Thule rack is shorter at 1260mm so there's not a huge array of options in this format. If I find something I will update you 👍
They all say this. On the rear it would certainly test out most rack due to the harmonics and vibration. On a draw bar it's really not that much different movement wise than attaching to your tow bar. If anything it's better as the dynamic load while towing keeps things quite composed.
Excellent demo and review thanks

Hi, do the wheel trays on the Fiamma extend for longer wheelbase/29" wheeled bikes?

The buzz rack option looked to be my solution, but having looked at their website it says not for campers or rv's. Such a shame
