I checked a few manufacturers websites. In additional to your document showing Fox recommending clamping the upper portion, PNW says you can clamp top but bottom is preferred. Crank Brother says don’t clamp on the top, below the collar only. Several others I checked had no recommendation at all...
I just picked up the Park Tool PCS-10.3 as my cheaper Amazon stand has gotten on my last nerve. The clamp would no longer support the bike and refused to tighten enough. BTW, that is a PCS-10.3 in your picture, different clamp than the 9.3 and includes the little tool tray.
Taking a vacation at Raystown Lake in central Pennsylvania so I got a couple days on the Allegrippis trail system.
No ebikes allowed so I had to take my analog hardtail.
Most of the trails are not rocky like this, they are fast and flowy but who stops to take pictures when you’re flying...
Installed a Kuat NV 2.0 rack on the car so now i don‘t have to powerlift the bike over my head to put it on the roof rack. Pic shows hitch installation I did in a buddy’s garage.
EDIT: I suppose you might want to see it finished.
Well, you’re not wrong, and every weekend kayakers block the bike trail dragging their boats from the canal over to the river to keep going. :cautious:
Despite how the canal looks here, the Valley Forge trails were super dry and dusty today. Took a friend around some (he’s got a Powerfly hardtail) and we managed to get some riding in between the coughing fits.
I heard good reviews of both Invisiframe and RideWrap. I chose the latter simply because I’m in the US and it could arrive faster. If I was in the UK, I’d probably go the other way just for convience.
First ride at Nockamixon this season, they close the trails in the winter. Cut the ride a bit short when I crashed going into a berm too hot and low. Right shoulder is paying for it now but I'll be back out in a week... or 2.
I picked up a used 530 on ebay for less than half the Garmin price. Working fine and I get at least 7-8 hrs battery life and thats with backlight on max. I put it on a articulated mount behind the bar just to the left of the stem so it’s protected from falls.
