Obviously this one is the best
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224113898877

But I need two. And that’s £150+

Anything else out there similar or recommendations for the normal type that you have to actually put the axle through?

Cheers

A lot more basic but a lot cheaper. I have two and have been excellent:

Is that racked outfit only on Facebook? Can’t find a website and I’m not a Facebook user!

I made two from scraps of wood, electrical conduit, and metal clamps. Then made some inserts for the conduit to suit a 15mm axle. Cost about £12.

The email for the rackedup guy is: sparks_one(at)hotmail.com

Hopefully he won't mind me posting that if it leads to some extra sales. I found him really easy to deal with and the racks are really solid.

To be fair in videos I’ve seen of it working it does look excellent.
It saves the faff of having to thread the axle through the mount.

@keppoch cheers for this, he's sorting me out.

Taken a little while as he's making me up a different adapter for an On One Fatty which uses an awkward size hub. Should have it all with me next week.

How did you buy one of them? I can only find a faceache page for them, but no shop.

Facebook messenger. I haven't actually bought anything yet, but I assume I paypal him and he'll post it all to me. No idea of cost yet either tbh....!

Cheers. I must be getting old, I expected some sort of web page to buy the things. Is this how "the kids" shop now?

I didn't mind on this occasion because I've sent him pictures and measurements for my bespoke adapter (that sounds posher than it is). I must admit though it's much easier usually just to select a load of items from a shop page and click pay.

😁

Arrived today, only tested this one but it fits the Fatty perfectly from the measurements I gave him. Will have a play with the other adapters over the next few days.

Another option just come to market?

EDIT: I suspect these are the same as the ones linked to above from MTDVans, but with a brand transfer added to them and some bling end caps :-). I have bought loads from them before though so happy to recommend the company as a seller.

Bike drawer mk1 mocked up. And yes I did have to cut a hole in my bathroom wall 🤣 (it’s OK, it was part of the plan).
