interesting thought there , Rob

is the pad there to protect your tailgate from the bikes or to protect your bikes from the tailgate ?

A combination of the two. High end bikes can be made of pretty thin wall tubing. I know my own bike's down tube is made from folded ally plate and it is proper thin! That said, plenty folk use these tailgate protectors without too much bother.

it fits dual crown forks fine too. its so good, no damage on bikes or tailgate. I know some giant and trek bikes are very weak in those areas but it really isn't anything to worry about.
Its definitely the best cycling accessory i've bought. Went to the Forset of dean last sunday with 3 bikes. 3 hr drive. no issues Happy!...

Is looking good! I'm lucky as when I need to transport lots of bikes I can borrow the school's 10 bike trailer

Its non fbw so the turbo doesn't have the adjustment bolts
