I've got ancient Yakima roof bars on the old expo Jeep with standard fork trap trays. This means, of course, that you remove the front wheel to mount the bikes. I had a full basket rack on the last truck and I would just throw the loose front wheel in it and bungee it down, but now without the basket I'm having to put the wheel inside the truck. That takes a lot of room and the tire is often muddy if I'm riding mountain. I've seen the front wheel mounts that look like an upside down fork, but I don't want that sticking up all the time when I'm NOT hauling the bike(s), plus 2/3 of my bikes are through axle hubs which wont fit those.
Anyone have good tips or tricks for outside transport of a loose front wheel? I've thought about Quickfist clamps or something similar, or maybe bungee-ing the wheel to the bike itself. just thought I'd see if anyone else had something cooler/better.
