    Can I use 2 MaxTrax to drive up 9” (90 degree) vertical curb?

    hitch bike rack wobble

    Comments for OP. If your bike rack uses a threaded hitch pin, make sure to thread the pin in from the passenger side NOT from driver side. Get the pin nice and tight. If your bike rack is self tightening...get it nice and tight. This should help. Best of luck!

    Shower Thoughts.............?

    I’ve gotten hundreds of showers from two different RoadShower units. A gen 1 and now a gen 2-7 gallon. The Gen 2-7 gallon works best.
