Just a bit of a difference from losing a bike due to faulty straps and losing a bike due to faulty security measures. I had a tie down break once and lost a bike on may out of the gas station... I did't know it until someone pulled up along side and asked if I HAD 2 bikes on the trailer.... Ahhhh shiiiiiiit :foul:.... :banghead:...

I wonder if you would have had the same results in any other month of the year? I guess you should just be more careful in May.

Why you gotta get all co-rectum on it. It was good the original way! That's what makes "autoco-rectum" so cool on iPhone. Siri don't know shit! :smirk::moon::wave:

1.5 straps, beaners on the bottom, soft on the top, single pull, never had a problem, just hauled them 385 one way and 385 back. :thumb:
Shock saver sometimes, but not always. Seals!!!! Haha, seals are not under any load in compression, just the springs and no worry there. :prof:

Oh yeah, could have been much worse in July with the sunny days. Mid December, probably would have been safe though.
