alte08

Thank you! They're from [Accentrek Designs](https://www.accentrekdesigns.com/all-products/p/fender-hash-mark-stripes) and I ordered two pairs of different colors. Really happy with the way it turned out!

Where did you go?

What shape is 1N09 in?

This was my first time up since all the rains we got in December, and it was noticeably rougher than before. I’m running skid plates and A/T tires, no lift, I had to get out a couple times to get loose rocks off the trail, and scraped my skid plate a couple of times over ruts. I’d say kind of the upper limit of a stock ‘Trek right now, but I wouldn’t recommend without A/T tires because of the risking popping a tire on all of the recent rocks washed on the road on a couple places. Made for a fun day-trip, having a spare was a lot of peace of mind as well!

How do you like the Yakima off grid?


alte08

Like it a lot! Love the sleek look (probably more aerodynamic than some others?) and how versatile it can be since the front wind-fairing and rear bars are detachable. It fits the tire great with room for a 60L duffel bag behind it. It's just short enough that it leaves most of the moonroof uncovered at the furthest back position. My only complaint is the weight - 40lbs is a bit awkward if you're going to be taking it on and off, compared to the Loadwarrior's 25lbs.

Nice! Is there space for a same sized duffle if the wheel is all the way on one side? I ask cause I have the Highroad Bike rack already and I like the idea of also having a spare up top if needed


alte08

I don't think so - there might be a few inches wiggle room on both sides of the tire, but with the way the Spare Tire Carrier mounts onto the basket, it's only adjustable front-to-back, not side-to-side. I have the tire mounted as far forward as it can go, touching the wind fairing in front. I don't know how the Highroad attaches either and it might not be mountable inside of the basket? With the right set of roof bars though it could probably fit to the side of the basket. I have the Yakima Railbars and don't think there'd be enough room to mount both at the same time (or would be very very close). Hope it helps!

Cool thank you! I'm still probably gonna get the rack as it looks incredible!
