Ross-everything is powder coated anyway so the actual metals dont actually touch. Even so there wouldn't be corrosion anyway.
Woodlot- haha funny you say that because that is actually how I've started loading the bikes. They roll in just fine.
At the end of the day I could do so many things to this rack but I need to draw the line somewhere. I'm not going to get rich selling these and I have no intention of making this a full on business. I feel the design is durable, simple, doesn't wreck the frames or anything and is pretty user friendly.
True about the steel/powdercoat [HTML_REMOVED] aluminum - no worry about corrosion.
If you made the main structure out of steel and made the trays out of aluminum it would be a nice compromise. Very nice rack as it is though:clap:
I currently have a Thule T2 and it would be a whole lot lighter if the cross tubes that hold the rear wheel tray and side arm were aluminum.
