New DIY MTB Storage Slider Tray System - Sprinter Van Home on Wheels

Short tour of our Sprinter van's newly updated bike slider tray where we have our new trail mountain bikes stored in the van's "garage" located under our bed. Following on from the original bike slider tray tour, in this video, Karl explains how we currently have our new MTBs set up and mounted onto the tray. Karl also discusses the pros and cons of this setup, as well as things we still want to improve or upgrade in the future. As these bikes use the newer style 110x15mm boost "through axle" system for attaching the front wheel to the forks and they have wider handlebars, we had to rethink how the bikes would be placed and attached to the tray. In the end Karl figured out a way to DIY a thru-axle fork mount for the bikes using ~$3AUD worth of materials from the local hardware store, instead of spending $80-100 buying a set of brand-name fabricated mounts. The bikes are both 2020 model Trek Roscoe 8s which are 27.5+ hardtail trail MTBs. They are a great compromise for vanlife as they are very capable and comfortable bikes for MTB trail riding due to their components, design and larger tyres. But they are also low maintenance and suitable for short commutes and urban utility rides as they do not have rear suspension and the front air forks lock out. We'll do another video on the future and discuss these bikes and the pros/cons of having MTBs vs urban/commuting bikes for full time vandwelling. // Links to gear mentioned in this video: Heavy duty draw slider rails: http://tiny.cc/mlbqdz // Check out our dedicated vanlife design and consultation service: http://www.comfortablylost.com/vanlif...
