Look at all that good steel he cut through to have a sook about some surface rust... That thing still has at least 100 years of rusting left in it.

See the “rusty bolt” he couldn’t get out because he didn’t put a shifter on the otherside. Then when it came out it was clean as. Bloke has no concept of corrosive processes or safety gear.

Also, the overhang law is stupid. Above example highlights this. The Yaris would probably be over the ball weight with 4 bikes though.

Or, just drive a ram truck and have the heaviest balls in town.

I hate the fact the Deathracks dude is such a knob. When people ask me what brand my Deathrack is I just say I made it which is partly true. Pity. It’s a great rack but not gonna recommend it
And smallest dick!

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
You know big car, small dick; big feet, big dick. This is why people are really scared of clowns.

Pretty sure it’s the death rack guy giving him plenty of stick on FB.

Yeah I saw that but in his usual dickish manner which he has displayed here more than a couple of times.

I think it largely comes down to jealousy TBH. I honestly tatethe SingleTrial is the superior rack on the market, but have no criticisms of any of the other leading brands, it’s just a preference. Even when Jordy fired up at me and started with the threats, he didn’t seem to understand I wasn’t criticising his rack in the slightest, only potential issues with some buyers wanting to weld them up themselves, rather than pay a local engineer. If I was a competent welder, and wanting to save some money, I would absolutely have a go at a rack like his. That said, I love the back up and ongoing support that Mitch offers for his product.
Mike on the other hand, he is a certified cooker. I realise that years ago, and can tell you that Mitch has great regrets about ever going into partnership with him.
Anyway, flogging a dead horse here. Most people already have allegiance to one of the brands, and no publicity, either negative or positive seems to change that.
People are pretty parochial as well, and tend to buy the rack that is popular in the region/circle. No one around Greenvalleys is likely to buy anything other than spotX. Shingleback have cornered the market around Northern Vic and a big chunk of New South Wales (they also have by far the biggest marketing budget, media presence, and big name rider influencers).
Would I have bought an ST if Mitch wasn’t local? I like to think so. I looked at all the racks people were using at events before I knew he was local or had met him, but the local thing undeniably influenced my decision.
Hopefully this shit is blowing over. I’m not following it on FB, but Mike is sure to run out of steam soon.

As an Engineer, I can't weld, so hope they're taking them to competent (and insured) welders

The online saga was pretty hilarious to watch from the sidelines
My rack decision many moons ago just came down to supporting local… at the time that was George and iSi.
I still have it and it still works like the day I bought it.

I understand they recommend you do, and have people they’ve linked customers to, but you’re seemingly more that welcome to tackle it yourself. Certainly above my pay grade.As an Engineer, I can't weld, so hope they're taking them to competent (and insured) welders

Welders get about .47cents an hour..
It's not hard to push a button and close your eyes.
