    cheap hitch carrier - better ways to secure the wheels?

    Efair I use 1 strap per wheel = 2 straps per bike. On my carrier, I am able to wrap the ratchet strap around the tire between the spokes/carrier a couple of times, to use up the excess length, or you can figure out the length needed, cut off the excess and seal the end with a mini torch etc...

    cheap hitch carrier - better ways to secure the wheels?

    I use 4' - NO HOOK ratchet straps, that go around the tire rim/carrier frame with the wheel setting down inside a wheel pocket, 500-660+ miles of 4x4 rough roads with no problems. https://www.amazon.com/PowerTye-Easy-Grip-Light-Duty-Endless-Ratchet/dp/B088ML4FK2?th=1 ymmv

    Tire Liners

    As a backup to FO, I'll probably add the 4" wide Tuffy liners to each tire. I read where a person added a several small strips of thin double side tape between the line/tire to hold it (liner) in place before the tube was installed, inflated the tube to riding pressure, then cut and feathered...

    A new way of recharging your batts, with EMF? Question for those that KNOW, does that head revolve around the main base for varying wind directions or are they fixed one direction? I think that they would need to revolve around, for the best efficiency. (never seen one in person, only photo's). Tia
